I had already seen your article on Premium Times. You sure made me laugh as you tried real hard to sound technical while responding to Prof. Osinbajo. Your article is less than watery, if there's anything like that, and I will show you why. Stay with me.
The issue 'of "geographical restructuring" isn't a new/vague concept created by Prof. Osinbajo. In his response earlier today. He explained it as creation of states, or going back to regionalism. He even cited the 2014 confab report that recommended the creation of 18 more states
which would obviously lead to more administrative costs.

How you, @atiku, ignored that and claimed that Prof. was vague with the "geographical restructuring" concept is beyond me.
@atiku Secondly, Nigeria losing 7.9 million jobs in a 21 month period as reported by NBS in Dec. 2017, was simply a fallout of the recession brought upon by the mismanagement of resources by the previous administration. A simple case of cause-and-effect.
@atiku However, we have emerged from that recession through the prudential fiscal management and diversification of the economy by the recent administration. And we all are beginning to feel the impact already as more businesses are springing up...
@atiku ...including the arrival of foreign investors even while the recession was on, indicating a complete trust & show of faith in the Buhari-led administration. These businesses are creating jobs. The revitalization of erstwhile moribund sectors have also led to the creation of jobs.
@atiku Furthermore, The illogical argument that this administration shared out $322 million of Abacha funds to the poor only to take a loan of $328 million from the Chinese the very next month, seems to point to the fact that you might have run out of rational & logical criticisms.
@atiku Everyone who cared to know at the time understood that the return of the latest tranche of the Abacha-loot was hinged solely on the condition that it be used for a social empowerment programme being monitored by the World Bank. The condition was spelt out by the Swiss.
@atiku So, it was either comply with the condition given by the Swiss Government, or forfeit that tranche of the loot. So please, stop saying it was shared like how money was squandered by the administration you were part of.
Sir, @atiku, Nigeria did not go to #FOCAC2018 to beg for loans from China. Nigeria and China are signing several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) in different sectors of the economy, in line with our Economic & Recovery Growth Plan, which you should do well to study.
Those that accompanied Mr. President to #FOCAC2018, ministers and private business owners, that are signing these MoUs are well aware of the nature of the agreements, and have put things in place to ensure Nigeria meets its end of the bargain in utilization and repayment.
It amuses me that you, @atiku, mentioned that while you were VP back in 2006, Nigeria’s Economic Management Team, of which you were a prominent member, paid off Nigeria’s entire foreign debt of $30 billion. Buhahahahahahahahaha! Very impressive!
Maybe, just maybe, if you had headed the team as Prof. Osibanjo heads that of this administration instead of being just "a member", you'd have known that the administration you were part of didn't just "pay off" the $30billion debt as you claim.
What you guys got was a discount of about 60% with the Paris Club waving $18billion, leaving Nigeria to pay $12billion.

So please, sir @atiku, try not to twist history cos this one ain't too long ago sef.
Sir, @atiku, it has just been brought to my knowledge by @dmightyangel that the stat you cited about job loss, and attributed it to NBS, is either false, or a figment of your imagination. Is this how you used to do?
Sir, @atiku, the NBS chief has, this evening, reconfirmed what @dmightyangel and @otamssweet pointed out.
👇👇👇👇👇
Regarding the #AbachaLoot you said this administration "shared", this article backs my response, sir @atiku

It is great that most parties have now identified their flag bearers for the 2019 Presidential Election. In that vain, I'd love to congratulate President @MBuhari of the @OfficialAPCNg, and @atiku of the @OfficialPDPNig as the two major contenders.
The debate is expected to be issue-based, and void of unnecessary propaganda (hopefully) from both camps.

One of such issues is that of #Restructuring which appears to be a major part of @atiku's campaign of which, I am of the view, should be addressed.
#Restructuring, as an issue, is not new. Actually, it was a major part of the campaign of the @OfficialAPCNg back in 2014/15. Atiku was a member of the APC at the time.

Having read through @Ayourb's TL of what the @nassnigeria arrived at during their close-door session earlier today, and also what appears to be a response from a group, of which @AbdulAbmJ is member, I can't help but wonder the sort of people we have in @nassnigeria...
A deadly bank robbery occurred in Offa, Kwara State on Thursday, April 5th, 2018. It was so gruesome that the entire nation was in shock at the horror. We mourned, and then we all demanded that the @PoliceNG should leave no stone unturned in fishing out the perpetrators...
Some of you may have forgotten, but @bukolasaraki also charged the I.G of @PoliceNG to ensure that the robbers were arrested. He posted about this on his Facebook page a day after the robbery incident, and on the following day after visiting the Olofa of Offa...

Yesterday, at the #CHOGM18 Business Forum in London, @NGRPresident, @Mbuhari's final thoughts were taken out of context, and completely reworded by "lazy" media houses. Unfortunately, a lot of we young people didn't bother to go beyond the headlines.
