audience the difference between APC & PDP, is that “the transformation
agenda has headed south not west”

"The manifesto of
the APC is designed to address 2015 problems going on to 2019 while PDP has is
a 1999 manifesto and that probably explains the disconnect between our
realities and the realities that you hear. The transformation that has been put
forth has headed south not west. The Naira has weakened, interest rates has
come up and it is for us to chose whether we want four more years of that and
the Naira is essential in a free fall in an economy that is currently import
denominated and it would only mean that the purchasing power of our disposable
income would continue to reduce." he said
"The necessity of
now is to halt that free fall. That is something we cannot vote continuity on.
I will not. But more importantly as the candidate, Gen Buhari, has said, it is
essentially not how much really Nigeria earns, it is what value we get out of
that money. If we had sold crude oil, our major income earner for like almost 5-6
years at over a $100 per barrel and all of us are saying there is pain, do we
want to continue now when there is reduced income with the same team on the
same management capacity. If they couldn't do topnotch at $100 per barrel, can
we trust them to do more with less?" he added.
