APC Actually Promised That They Would Equate One Naira To One Dollar In 2015 by tk4rd: 5:43pm On Jan 31, 2019
During the 2015 electoral campaigns, APC actually promised that they would equate One Naira to One Dollar..

Here below is a March-2015 newspaper that captured it.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday said he would ensure that the Naira was equal to the dollar in value, if voted into office.


Buhari stated this during the South-East presidential rally of the party at Dan Anyima Stadium, Owerri.


“It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than N230 to one dollar; this does not speak well for the nation’s economy,’’ he said.


He urged the people to vote for APC, noting that he would ensure that corruption was tackled headlong if elected.


Earlier, Gov Rochas Okorocha had urged APC supporters to vote for the party’s candidates at all levels, noting that a vote for Buhari without support to others at the state would amount to nothing.


Okorocha said Buhari would address the problem of electricity, bring back the kidnapped Chibok girls and promote industrial growth.


He said that Buhari was loved by the people in the region and urged them to elect him and other APC candidates during the March 28 and April 11 general elections.


Former governor of Anambra, Mr Chinwoke Mbadinuju and former Minister of Education, Chinwe Obaji, were formally welcomed to the APC at the rally.


The rally was attended by APC supporters from Abia, Ebonyi, Anambra, Enugu and Imo.

Check out the link below, the full list of all the APC promises of 2015 as captured in the May-2015 newspaper..
Under the section of “The Economy & Infrastructure Base On the Economy:” , the 14th promise...

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/what-buhari-promised-nigerians/

....
The Economy & Infrastructure Base On the Economy:

I will;

1. Maintain sound Micro and macro-economic policy environment, and run an efficient government and preserve the independence of the Central Bank;

2. Restore financial confidence in the citizens and the world, by putting in place a more robust monitoring, supervising, and regulating of the financial institutions;

3. Make our economy one of the fastest growing emerging economies in the world with a real GDP growth averaging at least 10-12% annually

4. As at 1999, Nigerian rate of unemployment stood at about 8%, today it is estimated from official statistics to be close to 30%. I will embark on vocational training, entrepreneurial and skills acquisition scheme for graduates along with the creation of Small Business Loan Guarantee Scheme to create at least 5 million new jobs by 2019. A Small and Medium Enterprises Development Commission will be created for this purpose. I will also encourage State Governments to focus on employment creation, by matching everyone job created in the same state.

5. Integrate the informal economy into the mainstream and prioritize the full implementation of the National Identification Scheme to generate the relevant data;

6. Expand domestic demand and will undertake associated public works programmes to achieve this goal;

7. Embark on export and production diversification including investment in infrastructure; promote manufacturing, through Agro Based industries; and expand and promote sub-regional trade through ECOWAS and AU;

8. Make Information Technology, Manufacturing, Agriculture and Entertainment key drivers of our economy, by reviewing the present reward system, which is based on certification, to that based on skills, competencies, and performances;

9. Balance the Nigerian economy across regions by the creation of 6 Regional Economic Development Agencies (REDAs) to act as sub-regional hubs in order to promote healthy regional competitiveness;
Put in place a N300bn Regional Growth Fund with an average of N50bn in each geo-political region; to be managed by the REDAs, to encourage private sector enterprise and to support places currently reliant on only on the public sector, to migrate to a private sector reality;
Amend the Constitution and the:

10. Land Use Act to create freehold/leasehold interests in land along with matching grants for states to create a nationwide electronic land title register on a state by state basis;

11. Create an additional middle-class of at least 4 million new home owners by 2019 by enacting a national mortgage single digit interest rates for purchase of owner occupier houses as well as review the collateral qualification to make funding for home ownership easier, with a 15 to 30 year mortgage terms. This will equally help our banking system migrate from short to long term perspective of their role in sustaining the economy.

12. Create a Social Welfare Program of at least Five Thousand Naira (N5000) that will cater for the 25 million poorest and most vulnerable citizens upon the demonstration of children’s enrolment in school and evidence of immunisation to help promote family stability.

13. Provide allowances to the discharged but unemployed Youth Corps members for Twelve (12) months while in the skills and entrepreneurial development programmes.

14. Equate N1.00 to $1.00

Are we supposed to be surprised that politicians lie? Isn't that what they breathe out through every pore within their bodies?

But we have to applaud Atiku. He has been very honest so far in his campaign in comparison.

At least he has told us he is going to enrich his friends by selling national assets like the NNPC to them and his cronies. That's honesty. Also known as daylight robbery. Telling you he's going to slap you before actually doing so is bravery.

Don't they say, "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." ?

PDP, shame on you. But if you win this upcoming elections, shame on all Nigerians.
