Reno Omokri, former aide to
ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of lying
to Nigerians in his Democracy Day speech.
Omokri, in a series of tweets on
Tuesday, spoke on alleged lies under the President Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration, adding that the President possibly broke the Guinness World
Record on lies.
Omokri wrote, ”1-Buhari lied by
claiming to increase foreign reserves. PMB met a reserve of $32 billion on May
29, 2015. In 3 years he has borrowed ₦11 trillion. This is more than
PDPborrowed in 16 years combined. It is from this debt that he has ‘increased’
our reserve #BuhariDemocracyDayLies.
”2-Buhari lied by claiming
Integrated Personnel And Payment Information System (IPPIS) as an achievement
of his government. IPPIS was initiated, started, implemented and completed by
the Jonathan administration.
”3-Buhari lied that he “inherited
a weak economy”. He inherited the world’s 3rd fastest growing economy,
according to @CNNMoney. He failed to appoint a cabinet for 6 months. It
weakened the economy and led to recession.
”4-Buhari lied when he said
Nigerians are enjoying increased power supply. This is such an obvious lie. He
has not built a single power station. The last power station built in Nigeria
was built by Jonathan. I ask you, has your power improved?
”5-Buhari lied saying Boko
Haram‘s capacity is ‘degraded’. It runs counter to the testimony of the #DapchiGirls
who testified that Boko Haram now have planes and they land them within
Nigeria.Boko Haram didn’t have planes under Jonathan.
”6-Buhari lied by saying he has
improved the education sector. By his third year Jonathan had built 120
Almajiri schools and 12 universities. Giving out licenses to the private sector
to build a polytechnic is not an achievement. Buhari should be ashamed.
”7.-Buhari lied by claiming 7000
Megawatts power as achievement. The devil will have trouble beating that lie.
Nigeria under Buhari is not even regularly transmitting half that number.
Perhaps he means IGP’s ‘TRANSMISSION’ and not electric power transmission .
”8-Buhari lied by claiming the
construction of the 2nd Niger Bridge as an achievement. No bridge has been
constructed. No contract has been awarded. The ₦2 billion released was money
earmarked by Jonathan not Buhari.
”9-Buhari lied by claiming US FAA
Category 1 status as an achievement. Nigeria attained US FAA Category 1 on
October 23, 2010 under former President Jonathan. Here is the proof. Buhari is
desperate for achievements.
”10-Buhari lied by claiming the
visa on arrival policy as his achievements. This policy was unveiled in 2013 by
Olusegun Aganga, Jonathan’s minister of industry. Read about it here in this
2013 interview.
”11-Buhari lied when he said he
has reduced inflation. In truth, inflation increased by 50% from 9.8% when
Buhari took over in May 2015, to 13.34%. The last time Nigeria enjoyed single
digit inflation rate was under ex President Jonathan #BuhariDemocracyDayLies
”12-Buhari lied about the so
called unprecedented FIRS tax revenue and customs receipt. When you factor in
the devaluation of the Naira by the Buhari government. The revenues made is
actually about half the revenues made in 2014 when Naira was ₦150 to $1.
”13-Buhari said the ₦2.7trillion
capital expenditure for 2016 and 2017 combined is a record.₦2.7 trillion is
worth $8 billion today. It is not up to the ₦1.6 trillion Jonathan allocated
for capital expenditure in 2013 which was equivalent to $9.6 billion #BuhariDemocracyDayLies.
”14-Buhari lied by saying Nigeria
is more secure under him. According to the Global Terrorism Index, Nigeria is
now the THIRD most terrorised nation in the world. We were number 4 under
Jonathan. We have moved 1 step backward. Herdsmen now kill more than BH
”15-Buhari lied that he has
reduced corruption in Nigeria. According to Transparency International, Nigeria
is more corrupt under Buhari than it was at ANYTIME during the Jonathan
administration. We have moved 12 steps backwards from 136 to 144 on TI’s CP.”
