APC: IS FUEL SUBSIDY NO LONGER A FRAUD?

                                                                    

                               President Muhammadu Buhari

When the APC was in the opposition, they claimed that fuel subsidy being paid by the then PDP government was a fraud-claiming that there was nothing like fuel subsidy and fuel subsidy was a fraud! But today the same APC is claiming to be paying billions of dollars on fuel subsidy they claimed disn’t exist when they were in the opposition. Is fuel subsidy no longer a fraud? Again, is this not a monumental corruption? In the 2019 national budget, the APC government under the leadership of Mr. Muhammadu Buhari has budgeted a whopping N1.149 trillion for fuel subsidy! Also, before the 2015 election, APC promised that if they were elected they would sell a litre of fuel for just N40 but as soon as they assumed office they increased fuel price from N87 to N145 with a promise to build a new refinery each year. Has the APC government laid the foundation of any new refinery since it assumed office in 2015? The APC government is selling a litre of fuel at N145 yet it claims to be subsidizing fuel price-which Nigerian will believe this obvious lie?

Again, while in the opposition, the APC promised to defeat the Boko Haram insurgents within a limited time but almost four years in the saddle of governance, the Boko Haram insurgents have become more daring-taking the war to the doorsteps of the army-attacking army barracks across the northern part of the country-killing soldiers and civilians like chickens! In the midst of these wanton killings of our soldiers and civilians, the Buhari led APC federal government is claiming to have technically defeated and degraded the Boko Haram insurgents. Who is deceiving who? Also, Buhari and APC claimed to be feeding primary school children across the country at the cost that runs into hundreds of billions of naira but my two sons in primary school have never seen or received their foods! I have asked my brothers in other states if their children are being fed in their schools by the federal government, their responses were in the negative. So, in what states is the APC government feeding school children in Nigerian?

The APC government is the worst government I have ever witnessed since I was born into this country-it is a political party that came to power through propaganda but propaganda can't sustain anybody in power. This is because propaganda has a limited time frame-when the people are hungry, propaganda will not feed them, when the people are being killed by herdsmen and Boko Haram insurgents, propaganda can't protect them, when the people have no hospitals to get medication when they are ill, propaganda will not heal them, when the people can't pay their children's school fees, propaganda will not pay their school fees, the 20 million people that have lost their jobs due to the inept leadership of Buhari and the APC, who can't get new jobs, propaganda will not give them new jobs. Propaganda can take you to power but can't keep you in power. This is why Buhari and APC will not be re-elected come 2019. Buhari and APC are monumental failures!
