Tell the children the TRUTH \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.. it is the ONLY WAY to set their<br \/>\nminds free \u2013 but APC leaders would never tell the youth the TRUTH.<br \/>\nMany people have been led to believe that APC is the Messiah that would<br \/>\nredeem the economical and moral values of the country.<br \/>\nKnowledge and understanding of the past are very important for an<br \/>\nindividual as well as society. History can easily inspire the individual<br \/>\ncitizen to pursue better objectives which are noble and truthful to avoid<br \/>\nacts which are FALSE and DISGRACEFUL.<br \/>\nIn fact the study of history will surely promote national harmony and<br \/>\nintegration by telling people to appreciate and respect the sensibilities<br \/>\nand cultures of other ethnic groups as well as their own.<br \/>\nCorruption is not a tribal problem nor a regional problem, all of our<br \/>\nleaders from all tribal groups have contributed to what could be described<br \/>\nas near malfunction of our public institutions.<br \/>\nWhy would we delude our selves that a party with its Grand patron (Asiwaju<br \/>\nTinubu) who some people described as one of the richest politician in west<br \/>\nAfrica, the money he acquired illegally while ruling Lagos state for 8<br \/>\nyears, a state he is still squeezing through his installed puppet..<br \/>\nIt has been alleged that Bola Alhmed Tinubu has illegally acquired the<br \/>\nfollowing properties.<br \/>\nThe 250-hectare land valued at about N35billion and strategically located<br \/>\nat the Ajah junction on Lekki Road which was initially meant for a General<br \/>\nHospital for the people of Eti-Osa Local Government but was stolen by<br \/>\nTinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd \u2013 a company owned by Deji and<br \/>\nWale Tinubu which was developed in to now Royal Garden Housing Estate.<br \/>\nThe 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe<br \/>\nnear Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki Concession<br \/>\nCompany (LCC) which is partly- owned by Tinubu and Fashola which was<br \/>\ndeveloped as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource<br \/>\nManagement Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA project.<br \/>\nHow could an overload of a party with these filthy record bring the needed<br \/>\nsanity in our country??<br \/>\nIf APC is a good political party why did there senators in National<br \/>\nAssembly refused to lift a finger at the ungodly salaries and allowances<br \/>\nto them?<br \/>\nDoes it make sense that our senators receive more salaries than there UK<br \/>\ncounterparts, with Nigeria\u2019s per capital income as $2,800 (2012 )while<br \/>\nthat of UK is 37,849 more than 12 times that of Nigeria.<br \/>\nIn one of the two sources of Islamic Laws (The Hadith) Prophet Muhammad<br \/>\n(S.A.W) says \u201d If one of you sees something evil he should correct it with<br \/>\nhis hands if he can\u2019t with his tongue if can\u2019t he should hate it in his<br \/>\nmind.\u201d<br \/>\nNone of the so called APC Senator or member house of representative ever<br \/>\nsaid it is inappropriate to be paid such amount, the amount of which when<br \/>\nadded to other allowances and expenses amount to no less than 25% of the<br \/>\ntotal annual budget which is payed to 469 individuals in a country with a<br \/>\npopulation of over 140 million people.<br \/>\nAPC governed states are not any much better than PDP governed states<br \/>\nbetween 1999 to 2007 no northern state was better governed than Katsina<br \/>\nstate (A PDP state till date).<br \/>\nLet us please stop deceiving our selves. APC calling PDP corrupt is just a<br \/>\npot calling kettle black.<\/p>\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>&nbsp;
