Once the Growth Enhancement Scheme becomes law, it will be to the benefit of all Nigerians, and as a House, we have decided to do that.\u00a0\u00a0I don\u2019t need to repeat the various achievements of the Growth Enhancement Scheme.\u00a0\u00a0It has been clearly stated out by all the stakeholders that have so far testified before me.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn addition to that, Mr President, I want to talk about wheat. The Lake Chad Research Institute that is based in Maiduguri where I come from has developed a wheat variety called Noman Borlaug that produces about five to six tons per hectare.\u00a0\u00a0Before the development of that wheat variety, our farmers produced only two to three hectares per ton but now we have a variety that produces five to six hectares per ton, I think Mr President, you should encourage and give more support to wheat production especially against the backdrop of the fact that agriculture has the potentials, if unlocked, to give employment to our teeming restive youths that are unemployed, especially in the North where we are having security challenges&#8230;.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lai Mohammed, in his diatribe, believes the President dashed \u201canother chunk of what is left of his political goodwill with his unguarded boast that his performance in two and half years has dwarfed those of all his predecessors since independence;\u201d and even challenging his critics who \u201ccriticise without thinking\u201d to compare his administration\u2019s performance to others in the world.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Barring any careful editing of the President\u2019s words by Lai, I must agree with him that the country\u2019s chief executive was a little haughty. However, with the eulogies Nigeria has been getting from the IMF\/World Bank, and a recent one by a Filipino billionaire, Enrique Razon that the country is the investor\u2019s destination for 2014, Jonathan may not necessarily be boastful.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lai hinted that one of the reasons Obasanjo is not happy with Jonathan is because of his boastful claims that he has surpassed his predecessors. As he put it, \u201cthe President\u2019s claim of superior performance over his predecessors has enlarged his enemies\u2019 camp beyond former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who has engaged the President in recent times.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0May be that is what the former President told his junior navigators when they met him in Ota, Ogun State, recently.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">But Obasanjo has claimed to be a father to some bigwigs in the PDP, including Jonathan.\u00a0\u00a0So, would Obasanjo be proud of a son that exceeds him, knowing, as he has been accused by many, including the APC, of cunningly foisting Jonathan on Nigeria by picking a dying Yar\u2019Adua?<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Or, is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu not proud of the achievements of Lagos Governor, Babatunde Fashola, who he foisted on the good people of that State as his \u201cson.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Lai said that Jonathan\u2019s inclusion of governments outside Nigeria as those the country has surpassed further exposed him to ridicule as development indices indicate that many African countries, many of them less endowed, rank much higher than Nigeria in the development continuum. And by Lai\u2019s logic, it is better to live in countries like Egypt, Libya, Angola, Algeria, Cape Verde, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mauritius, and South Africa than Nigeria. I don\u2019t know about the others, but I prefer Nigeria to Egypt and Libya.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">If it is okay to use internationally tested indices like Per Capita Income, life expectancy, maternal mortality, access to education, potable water, housing, employment, security, agriculture, power, etc, which are all used to measure a country\u2019s Human Development Index, why have Lai and his co-travellers continued to be vexed by applauses from the IMF\/World Bank and other international agencies?<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a way that betrays the fact that he did not think out his piece before releasing to the press, Lai wrote: \u201cLet us, even for the purpose of argument, assume that the President\u2019s performance has been exceptional, there is still no basis for comparison with his predecessors without highlighting what parameters have been used in arriving at such a conclusion.\u00a0\u00a0This is because each succeeding administration in Nigeria operated in different local and global environments and was confronted with peculiar challenges.\u00a0\u00a0For instance, Gen. Yakubu Gowon had the challenges of fighting a civil war, managing post-war relations, and effectively managing the windfall that accrued to Nigeria in the post-war oil-boom era.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Has Lai forgotten that something equally devastating is happening in the North-East and the President is handling it well like Gowon, even though it is beginning to emerge that top APC chieftains like Ali Modu Sheriff and the sitting Governor Shettima of Borno State are accusing each other of being responsible for the growth of terrorism there.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">His other commendations for other dictators and the Obasanjo that APC once hated show Lai and APC as a hypocritical lot that would return to vomits just to win votes.\u00a0\u00a0Was it not under Generals Buhari, Babangida, Abacha, and Abubakar that men like Tinubu cut their teeth as pro-people democrats? So they are now angels because APC chieftains think they can help win votes?\u00a0<i>Na wa o!<\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is not necessary to take Lai on all his positions on issues but one caught the eye at the close of his immature treatise. According to him, \u201cwhen you mention the rampaging prevalence of corruption, what you are greeted with by government officials is that it did not start with Jonathan.\u00a0\u00a0Neither could you hold him responsible for the poor state of public infrastructure in the country.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0However, the same government is quick to claim credit for any achievement by a Nigerian, even when it is through the individual\u2019s dint of hard work, perseverance and a determination to escape poverty.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">So after the deluge of corruption that APC chieftain, Nuhu Ribadu, fought with bulging veins in his neck under former President Obasanjo, with reports in the Senate listing South-West Governors and others at that time, who are now APC chieftains, as culprits, Lai Mohammed can still raise this issue in the public domain?\u00a0\u00a0Well, the records of corrupt individuals will soon hit the public and we shall know those behind corruption.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<div><b>Ehigiator sent this piece from Benin City.<\/b><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Must Lai Mohammed lie to be relevant in the All Progressives Congress (APC)?\u00a0\u00a0Even when other discerning members of his party make public statements that are devoid of the bias that&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22037,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-opinions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>APC and Lie Mohammed, again!
