20 Things Nigerians May Experience In 2016 Under Buhari’s Government – Fayose

Barely nine days into the new year,
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti
State has stated 20 things Nigerians
should expect to happen under the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led
government in 2016.
In a statement personally signed by
Fayose, yesterday, he said: “Fellow
Nigerians, I want you to take note of
the followings that will unavoidably
happen under the Buhari-led
government in 2016.”
1. Workers Strike: There will be so
much industrial unrest, especially in
the first quarter of the year.
2. Subsidy: There will be removal of
fuel subsidy and petrol (PMS) will
sell over and above N100/litre,
leaving the masses in more serious
hardship. Product will not be
available and long queue in petrol
stations will persist throughout the
first quarter of 2016 and beyond.
3. Electricity: Power generation will
drop to the lowest ebb. Still, Federal
Government will increase tariff in
2016.
4. Unemployment: Millions of jobs
will be lost in 2016 as against the
three million jobs promised by the
APC yearly. Most States and Federal
Government will retrench workers as
evident in the over 2,000 Federal
University workers already sacked.
5. Economic Policy: Most private
owned middle-class businesses will
fold up because of bad economic
policies of the Buhari-led
government.
6. Devaluation: The Naira will
continue to have a free fall which
will take it to as low as N320 to one
Dollar.
7. Economy: The Buhari-led FG will
have no solution to country’s
economic problems.
8. Security: Boko Haram will keep
spreading and the Shiite Muslims
will get more emboldened.
9. Human Rights: Penchant for
dictatorship will rise with rampant
human rights abuses and
disobedience to court orders.
10. Anti-Corruption: Insincerity in
the fight against corruption will
continue and the fight will not only
be selective and political, but
targeted more at Southerners.
11. Elections: Attempt to forcefully
control any of the South South States
of Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Bayelsa by
the APC will lead to unprecedented
deaths.
12. Economy: Crude oil price will fall
to below and about $30 per barrel.
13. Anti-Press Laws: The masses,
especially men of the media
profession will rise against the FG’s
plot to deny Nigerians of their rights
to freedom of expression. There will
wide condemnations by Nigerians
and the International community
against President Buhari’s human
rights abuses and disobedience to
court orders.
14. Polity: Renewed efforts will be
made to remove Senator Bukola
Saraki as the Senate President; this
will not only fail, but will heat the
polity.
15. Hardships: Nigerians will
experience more hardships. The
President himself attested to this
(THE SUN newspaper Tuesday,
December 15, 2015). This obviously
negates the change Nigerians voted
for.
16. Elections: Plot by the APC to take
control of at least one South South
State will lead to death of many
people. Particularly, rerun elections
in Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States will
cause many deaths.
17. Corruption: Halliburton scam
may be revisited in 2016.
19. Kogi State: Court will sack
Governor-Elect, Yahaya Bello.
Bayelsa State: Governor Seriake
Dickson will win the supplementary
election.
Taraba State: Governor Darius
Ishaku will be victorious at the
Court.
20. Politics: There will be subtle
political alignment and realignment
before the end of the year ahead of
2019 elections.
