HOW DO WE GET HERE BY; TUNJI FADAIRO.

At the beginning of this APC government, majority of Nigeria people put so much hope on this Government because they want change to what PDP has been doing for the past 16yrs. They the PDP though corrupt but the still has their own land mark they make the Country to become the number one fastest growing economy in Africa and number three in the world.

           APC came with better promise of making a $ to be #1 and #45 per litter of fuel this make people fall in love with them and believe they can do it and better their lots. As people vote out PDP and APC steps in for somehow they find it difficult to form a government no minister in place no board was swear in .

           Then things start to fall apart prices of goods and services skyrocket many investors withdraw their money as they feel the economy policy of APC government is not favourable to them .Then the fight of corruption begin all this while the price of crude oil went down so low  and the activities of Niger/Deltar increase in bombing of oil pipelines $ rise to #450 economy went into recession. And the people continue to keep faith with the APC administration and government claimed corruption is fighting back.

            But crude oil price started to rise in international market. The people feel as the crude oil price is rising the condition of living that as become unbearable will reduce. but then Government find it impossible to pay salary owing workers up to 2 years

       As APC progreses in their ruling it then show on the people that this is government of lies. Where they go wrong they will put the blame of their inefficient on past administration those that help But arising led government to win election were one way or the order edge out of their programme.

What Nigeria have not witness before in their life they start to witness it the president went abroad for treatment for 150days before he came back RATS have eaten all the furniture in the president office. Reburdget of same thing every year like computer, spoons etc.

         Then came insecurity fulani herdsmen killing with impunity the same Buhari government is still justify the killing by planing to have cattle ranches in all the state of the federation so that fulani will be everywhere in Nigeria. But I think cattle rearing is a private business?

          But now those who came to APC from PDP are now going back to PDP when it's all clear that their efforts in making Buhari and his APC become president is not acknowledged as to what they promised them in 2015 . Three state governors and many senators and house of Rep has cross back to PDP.

          Many Buhari disciples claim no shaking if they want to go they can go they are not needed they are thieves . But when this group of people pull their resources together to bring Buhari to power they are saint then but now they are corrupt people . Many forget that governors weigh a lot of power and those in national assembly. If another party or even PDP present a credible candidate Buhari may not found his back to Aso rock come next year because the way things is being manage in the party is not how it should be many people will still leave APC to other party and this will affect the vote because Buhari may not be able to pull that huge vote he got in 2015 again. As things stand now.

        Many people are now understand that Buhari is not someone you can trust for the way he treats Tinubu after the election they won in 2015 until when another election behind the corner that's when he remembered Tinubu usefulness. He is a use and dump man.

       Either way we find ourselves after the election in 2019 I pray that who wins will have the interest of the country and the populace at heart as Nigeria has the highest number of people living in poverty in the world beating Sri Lanka and Djibouti.
