The quest by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be recognized in the Guinness World Records over reforms initiated by him since assumption of office is a misplaced venture, it has been learnt.<\/p>\n
A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, made this assertion in a statement in Abuja in reaction to the President\u2019s comment in that regard while speaking in Germany recently.<\/p>\n
Tinubu had while addressing an audience at the 10th German-Nigerian Business Forum, in Germany, said, \u201cNigeria voted for me for reforms and from day one of my inauguration, I started the reforms. To me, if you didn\u2019t mention me in the Guinness Book of Records, I\u2019d strive to find a way to insert myself because I did it without expectation.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Frank insisted that the only world record the President had set is to have inflicted severe economic pains and unbearable hardship on the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou brandish your removal of fuel subsidy on Inauguration Day as an evidence that you \u2018hit the ground running\u2019 but you have failed to realise that that singular action has\u00a0 heated up average citizen with attendant pains, tears and sorrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour purported reforms have wrecked the nation\u2019s currency with $1 now exchanging for over N1,000, up from N600 prior to your swearing-in as President. Yet you claimed to have broken a record capable of earning you a global recognition in the GWRs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He insisted that even though the President claimed he was in Germany to woo investors, that none will be willing to invest in the country because of the negative world records he had already set as a personal.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo investor will want to come to Nigeria when they know the President’s character is questionable because investors will always do background checks before they go to anywhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch background checks would among others reveal the negative reputation of the man inviting them as a certificate forger with proven links to drugs trafficking.<\/p>\n
\u201cForeign investors will definitely not go to a country with a flawed electoral process or where the judiciary cannot be trusted to guarantee justice to protect their investments.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, while investors will not come to Nigeria under your government, your name, if at all, can only be written in Guinness World Records as a certificate forger in line with the ruling of a Chicago Court,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also cited some false claims made by the President as additional reasons why his drive for investors would not yield any positive result.<\/p>\n
Frank who is the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) Ambassador to East Africa and the Middle East, said: \u201cHe claimed that he had removed fuel subsidy, but fuel is still being subsidised by his administration even though the people now languish under the burden of astronomical increases in the pump price of fuel and other essential petroleum products.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe claimed that he worked for Deloitte but Deloitte has since denied having his employment records.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a President who often claim he is from the private sector but which genuine business has he done that qualifies him to be part of the private sector?<\/p>\n
\u201cHe went to Saudi Arabia and India and upon return claimed he had convinced investors there to invest in Nigeria. But up till this moment no investor from Saudi or India has indicated interest to invest in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they didn\u2019t corrupt the system, we’re not supposed to look for investors. Investors are supposed to look for Nigeria with her abundant human and material resources that can attract investors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese obvious flaws are reasons why we are mobilising Nigerians, both locally and in diaspora, for a Tinubu must go mass protest to resist and stop all these illegalities and deception, targeted at the gradual annihilation of the people through high cost of food, medicare, goods and services, among others, in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
