Suprisngly, u didnt say anything abt electric power. Does dt mean we should just accept our fate in higher bills for more darkness after all d monies spent in d power sector? D picture below is d latest Chinese power project. It wz built and completed at a record $25b and generates 22,000 megawatts of electricity. Ar u aware dt ur PDP gvts in 16yrs hs spent ova $25b bt generate lesss dan 3,000 megawatts? Also u didnt make any mention of d refineries and hw we can refine our oil at home, stop importation and reduce susidy of landing cost of oil. Does dt also mean dt Nigeria under ur administration hs given up any hope of building more refineries and stopping importation of oil? Mr. President, ar u aware dt ds same Nigeria built and completed two refineries from 1974-1980 with no deregulation nor PIB, d same six yrs uv stayed in office without building even one bt ran all d existing ones down? Wht ar ur plans btwn now and may 2015 whn ur going to hand over to bring dos looting our treasury dry to book? Tanzanian president recently sacked a minister for receiving a paltry $1m bribe, whn ar u going to sack, arrested and prosecute Bello Haliru, ur campaign director for his involvment in d Siemens bribery scam, Abba Moron, ur Interior Minister for dt immigration recruitment exercise scam, Deziani for her N10b private jet scam and dos who collected$470m to install CCTVs in Abuja bt didnt do so? Mr. President, d international oil price is falling all over with its attendant fall in oda goods and services, yet price of oil in Nigeria is even going up. Pls when will Nigerians join odas to enjoy ds fall in price? I appreciate ur revival of d railways bt I wonder wht hv bn holding u from doing dt since 2009, at least d revival would hv bn completed to enable Nigerians use d railand reduce pressure on oir roads. Talking abt d roads, Mr. President, d Enugu/PH expressway ws completed in six months by d Shagari gvt, why hs dt same road bn under reconstruction for six yrs under ur gvt and whn is dt road going to b completed at all? U promised to deliver d 2nd Niger Bridge in 2011 in d nxt four yrs, pls whr is d 2nd Niger bridge, ist it ready for use now? Mr. President, its surprising u didnt say anything abt dos Chibok girls kidnapped over 8 months ago, does it mean ur govt hs given up bringing dem back alive? Wht abt d recent 185 women kidnapped in Bornu, wht are ur gvt doing torescue dem? Mr. President, sir, dia ar too many wastages in ur govt and u seem nt tosee dem. Pls Mr. President, Nigeria doesntneed 11presidential jets. I will also suggestu jettison ur plan to acquire anoda one in 2015 budget. Mr. President, it is nt fair for one person to spend N4b for food and travels as u budgeted in 2015 whn over 70% of Nigerians live below d poverty level.Mr. President, its an economic waste to spend N9b or more in building one vice presidential palace for a country lik Nigeriawith a per capita income of $1,500 whn d president of a country lik Uruguay lives in afarmhouse and drives a Volkswagen beatle, nothwistanding dt d per capita income of Uruguay is $16,400 in 2013. Mr. President, I wish u a happy new year as well bt I will prefer a happy new year with light, while thanking u for preparing to hand over on May, 29, 2015.
