Happy #DemocracyDay.

This is a great time to review the performance of our current democratic ruling party.

Now do you remember these promises? Let's review them one by one.

#MakeChangeGreatAgain
The first promise is "ban all government officials from traveling abroad".

This was not fulfilled. Buhari spent a whopping 103 days in London, at a stretch for medical treatment.

He also kept the presidential jet at Stansted, accumulated parking fees

#MakeChangeGreatAgain
Second promise was "revival of Ajaokuta Steel Company".

No point wasting our time on that pipe dream.

#MakeChangeGreatAgain.
Third promise is an "employment scheme to employ 740,000 graduates across 36 states and the FCT"

A little was done to actualize this, but it largely entered voice mail.

#MakeChangeGreatAgain.
Fourth promise was "720,000 jobs by the 36 states per annum".

Even Stalin, at the height of communism, collectivization and GOSPLAN wasn't allocating jobs in such a cavalier manner.

You don't allocate jobs like you allocate plots.

It was nonsensical.

#MakeChangeGreatAgain.
Fifth promise was "provision of allowances to discharged, but unemployed NYSC members for 12 months".

Please if you know ANYONE who is a beneficiary of this scheme, present evidence, to collect $10,000 from me.

#MakeChangeGreatAgain.
Sixth promise is "real GDP growth of 10% per annum".

Facts are stubborn things. Fantasy meets reality.

Nigeria's real GDP Growth (%)

2015: 2.7
2016: -1.5
2017: 0.82

#MakeChangeGreatAgain
Ladies and gentlemen.

The ruling party has simply not performed - they haven't even taken governance seriously for a day.

To paraphrase Bob Marley, "chase those crazy bald heads out of the town".

With your PVCs, get them ready.

#MakeChangeGreatAgain
Let this song remind you to get your PVCs, and chase them out of the town.
