Criticising Buhari will not stop us from winning election in 2023, says APC
![president muhammadu buhari](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_glossy,ret_img,w_700,h_394/https://thehelenmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/40175578_401.jpg)
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said sustained criticisms of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would not earn the opposition party return to power in 2023.
National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) APC, Sen. John J. Akpan Udoedehe made the declaration on Tuesday in a press statement.
Senator Udoedehe was reacting to Monday’s statement by the spokesman of the PDP, Kola Ologbodiyan where he dismissed the APC-led federal government as a monumental failure.
The Secretary of the APC Caretaker team who detailed the achievements of the Buhari administration further claimed that Nigerians were not willing to return to the 16 years of PDP administration when the collective patrimony of all Nigerians was looted by a few.
The statement read in part: “PDP has decided to play to the gallery in an attempt to play deniability and take away the gaze of Nigerians from the remarkable strides which the APC-led Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is carrying out amidst very trying circumstances. Nigerians are aware that due to the monumental sleaze and leakages of our collective patrimony actively supervised by PDP, the current administration of PMB inherited an empty treasury, coupled with the global decline in oil prices since 2014, which significantly trimmed the well-laid-out plans of the APC administration.
This is elementary economics. When your expenditure outstrips the supply of goods in the economy, inflation will occur in the long run. Just as we were able to pull through, Covid-19 came calling with worldwide economic ramifications. Nigerians understand that this was beyond us. Be that as it may, PMB went to work immediately by putting in place building blocks for a virile and sustainable Nigeria; economically, agriculturally, in the ease of doing business initiatives, infrastructural renaissance, the power sector reforms, in anti-corruption, social investment programs, and of course in building strong institutions that will outlive the present Administration.
At the moment, these facts speak for themselves: The Treasury Single Account (TSA) is in operation and has successfully curbed the excesses of government officials who may be prone to graft.
“The government has successfully aligned the budget cycle with the JAN-DEC budget window to allow for better delivery of benefits to Nigerians.
“The ease of doing business initiatives as implemented by PEBEC has propelled Nigeria’s ranking (moving down 13th place) in the Ease of Doing Businesses Ranking as published by the World Bank Group in 2020. In simple terms, this means that Nigeria is the 131st attractive country for investment out of a survey of 190 countries as against 145th it was placed in 2018.
“The 326km Itakpe-Ajaokuta-Warri railway (with stations) which has been abandoned for more than 30 years is in full operations with modern coaches.
“The 156.5km Lagos-Ibadan double track standard rail line is now in operation. Evidence abounds. A lot of other rail lines are underway, with varying funding needs due to the PDP’s recklessness in times of abundance.
“In the power sector, the APC-led administration is battling the reversal of years of neglect despite the billions of dollars sunk into the cesspool of corruption in the sector; the 3050 MW Mambilla Power Project, conceptualized over 30 years ago is now receiving concrete attention. Imagine if all these had been done in the years when excess revenues were at the disposal of PDP!
The Siemens Presidential Power Initiative of this administration seeks to ramp up the nation’s entire Electricity Value-Chain (Generation, Transmission, and Distribution) and add about 25,000 MW of electricity to Nigeria. This will be fundamental to the growth of the manufacturing sector.
“The metering solutions and the solar home systems are initiatives that are people-centered which seeks off-grid solutions to our energy problems by providing power to the rural areas to trigger economic activities by stemming rural-urban migration. Similar interventions in some of the popular markets, tertiary educational and medical facilities are fully functional while some are at advanced stages of completion.
“The Social Intervention Programs of this administration is massive and unprecedented. These include the 774,000 SPW program of NDE, supervised by the Federal Ministry of Labour which kicks off January 5th, 2021, the N-Power scheme that has accommodated over 500,000 beneficiaries thus far and another 1 million beneficiaries about to be engaged, the Trader-Moni, Market-Moni, and the Schoolfeeding Programme are all targeted at the poor.
The various stimulus packages encapsulated in the Economic Sustainability Plans of this administration are designed to re-jig the economy which has been dulled by the consequences of the dreaded Covid-19 pandemic with its attendant bottoming out of oil prices and the concomitant loss of revenues for Nigeria, yet, despite this force majeure, this administration is not owing salaries and is consistently bailing out states so that no Nigerian is owed salary irrespective of political leanings.
“So, with the monumental interventions which President Muhammadu Buhari is carrying out, which has leap-frogged Nigeria to the largest economy in Africa and the 25th largest economy in the world (according to the IMF Report 2020), why would PDP be deluding itself that Nigerians want it back? Is it a case of selective amnesia or mere rabble-rousing? For the umpteenth time, APC states that it wishes not to be distracted from its focus of delivering on its promises to Nigerians amidst very difficult circumstances, while at the same time, righting the wrongs done by PDP against Nigeria and Nigerians.”

The man told them he was suffering from an ulcer and that he could no longer afford his medications, so they gave him some money so he could buy medication and food.
But an Estate worker discovered a video of the same man who was apprehended for staging a seizure.
Nevertheless, the man came back the following day in an attempt to get the remaining sum of money they had promised to pay him.
Now that they knew about his deception, the inhabitants beat him to barely an inch of his life.
See the video below:
Final update: He came back for the remaining money and they’ve beaten his life lmaoo. The whole estate have carried him 😭😭 https://t.co/q7hFfZAqzh pic.twitter.com/qBWAaCP6Sc

“Why men need side chics” – Preacher reveals, netizens react
![“Why men need side chics” – Preacher reveals, netizens react](https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/to_webp,q_glossy,ret_img,w_718,h_395/https://thehelenmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screenshot_20231112-111253.png)
Nigerian preacher has mentioned the four important reasons why a man needs a side chick
The pastor explained in an Instagram video that, despite what is commonly believed, men need women by their sides in addition to their marriages.
He disclosed the four key reasons for side chicks’ importance.
The first explanation offered by the pastor was stupidity. He said that having side chicks is the finest way for a man to look dumb.
In response to a question about why guys are still searching for Coke after they have one, he pointed out that Coke in a bottle, can, or plastic is still Coke.
He identified premature death as the second reason why males require a side chick.
According to the preacher, a guy who wishes to pass away too soon must overwork his heart and stuff his body with unnecessary items.
He mentioned shame and embarrassment as additional reasons. A man who enjoys dishonor and shame, according to him, needs a side chick because that’s what he will eventually get.
According to him, a man should only require a side chick if he enjoys difficulty and turmoil.
