Toyin Saraki addresses United Nations General Assembly on Accountability and Health Outcomes; joins Director-General of the WHO and the President of Uruguay at launch of WHO Non-Communicable Diseases Declaration- 27th September 2018 #UNGA-73
Toyin Saraki outlined the key interventions which must be made to transform health outcomes for women, children and communities around the world. #UNGA-73
Mrs Saraki was requested to make her address at the launch of the Independent Accountability Panel report ‘Private Sector: Who is Accountable,’ as mandated by the UN Secretary-General. #UNGA-73
Throughout the #UNGA-73 this week, Mrs Saraki – Founder-President of the @wellbeingafrica – laid out her vision at the panel discussion of the report which calls on Govts, parliaments, private sector partners & multilateral agencies to establish effective accountability systems.
In her remarks to the General Assembly, which were commended by the Independent Accountability Panel, Mrs Saraki commented: “Thank you to the members of the Accountability Panel for the opportunity to address you today.” #UNGA-73
“Only two countries in Africa have met the Abuja declaration to pledge 15% of their government budgets to health. Meanwhile, tuberculosis kills more than 4,000 people every single day. This can be avoided.” #UNGA-73
“I am advocating for 5key interventions to achieve both accountability & the demographic dividend. Civil registration & vital statistics systems must be implemented & strengthened to allow Govts to prepare for epidemics & allocate investment where it is needed the most.” #UNGA
“Investment in family, community and primary healthcare – along with hospitals where needed – to bolster healthcare wherever people need it; in rural areas and urban, cities and villages.” #UNGA-73
“Government investment in strengthening health insurance systems is paramount to achieving Universal Health Coverage – in Nigeria and around the world, too many people are plunged into poverty by health emergencies that they or their families experience.” #UNGA-73
“Non-communicable diseases kill over 41M people per year. The DG of the WHO, Dr. Tedros, has rightly highlighted the NCD crisis & it must be a core focus of all Govt programmes. Strengthening the primary health tier is key to prevention, detection and treatment of NCDs” #UNGA-73
“Finally, & most importantly, the murder of young midwife & mother Saifura Hussaini Ahmed Khorsa in Nigeria last week must spur Govts & global institutions on to strengthen security provisions for frontline health workers. Their training & pay conditions must also be improved.”
Following her United Nations address, Mrs Saraki joined the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros, and the President of Uruguay, His Excellency Tabaré Vázquez, at a global press briefing to mark the WHO Non-Communicable Diseases Declaration. #UNGA-73
Mrs Saraki, who also serves as Chair of Nigeria’s Primary Health Care Revitalisation Support Group, subsequently participated in the #UNGA-73 Third High-level Meeting on the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), ...
...which undertook a comprehensive review of the global and national progress achieved in putting measures in place that protect people from dying too young from heart and lung diseases, cancers and diabetes. #UNGA-73
The high-level meeting at the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations Headquarters was opened with a keynote speech delivered by renowned philanthropist Michael Bloomberg, former Mayor of New York City. #UNGA-73

Thanks @DemolaRewaju for your atticism & clarity on political cum historical facts. Let me clear the air on my position. First, I didn’t strategize for the PDP & have never met the leadership of the party in any regard. I strategized for the future of Nigeria with the President.
It has neither ethno religious coloration nor political partisanship. All I told him before the election came to pass and all we deliberated on happened just as forecasted. He became a winner despite the loss of the election because he meant well for all & value good counsel.
After election I did gave free advices on how the PDP could build back the party in order to avoid having a unitary party system (an advocacy that brought about the creation of the APC Merger- of which I was involved in its strategic birth, when PDP became complacent).

As wonderful as this idea is, it won’t win the election. The battle ground geopolitical zone is not SS or SE but the SW. If @Atiku can pick a formidable influential youth from the SW (Male/Female) it will make the difference. NOI can always serve in the Admin with impact.
Also, he may need to allow the record reflect that he is only running this time to deliver Nigeria from the current darkness that envelopes her by deploying his resources and political structures to that effect as a legacy and would not seek a second term.
This way, the platitude of a promise by the leadership of the APC, void of integrity, on 2023 Presidential zoning to the SW will be neutralized and reinvigorated by a promise they can take to the bank and act upon should there be a breach.

When it comes to Money, Virtue is often defenestrated (virtually thrown out the window). The forth coming election would either be Won, Bought or Stolen. With the position of @inecnigeria in collusion with those bent on rigging the election with fictitious figures, this is clear.
90% (if not all) of the elections conducted under this “Regime” has been fraught with electoral fraud thus when opposition wins election it is declared inconclusive and rigged via an unconscionable re-run designed to disenfranchise the people. So a Win is out of the question.
Better phrased, a Win may not be enough under this Regime if you are not in Tahir favored books. The Wife of the president even raised an alarm over injustices within the President’s party let alone the wrath reserved for the opposition just to retain power by force.

Vengeance is a lazy form of Grief. ⛱
The simplest of tweets can be far more complicated than threads. This one right here can be a book yet barely scratch the surface of the expression. I’m simply saying, don’t confuse Vengeance with Justice the same way Anger must not be confused with Strength. ⛱
There are many people out there broken into pieces and seeking those that are whole to break just to get even with life. We must understand that sadness sometimes carry a whole lot of weight that often times attempt to stop you from breathing.

Your attitude and character is everything. If you can’t contain your hate and prejudices simply because of a tweet you read, then nothing else matters. You will always find anything you seek. If you want to be offended even a harmless emoji will set you ablaze. Watch it.
I really don’t know the motive of deploying hate towards people who see things differently. Changing a mind is different from having an argument. Persuasion takes patience, skill and insight, not force. You can’t insult me into supporting your sentiments. 🤔
You must never forget the next line of action when people undermine you. When they think they can walk over your Heart with their dirty feet, when they take your softness for weakness.

I’m sore disappointed in the development coming from @OfficialAPCNg primaries in Bauchi. Where @alouibrahim92 was rigged out despite the people’s support in huge numbers. Thugs were deployed and voters were harassed. Result sheets falsified in collusion with party officials. 😞
This is how APC is losing their great potentials. All those I knew from back in the days of great sacrifices for fo CPC/APC have been frustrated out of the party. The few that managed to keep the faith are now being disincentivized. Where’s their automatic ticket despite loyalty?
Is this what @MBuhari will be remembered for? All your loyal men/women ruined because of self centered party politics that ostracizes and impoverishes the people. Is the APC reserved for families and friends now? 2019 will be very interesting. This is really pathetic. @abellodam
