Presidency insist Buhari never made any 100 days in office promises

Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba, has denied claims that during the campaigns, President Buhari made some promises which he hoped to fulfill within 100 days in office.
Garba was speaking while reacting to the controversy surrounding two booklets titled “One Hundred Things Buhari Will Do in 100 Days” and “My Covenant With Nigerians” which details all the promises the President and APC vowed to fulfill within 100 days in office.

According to Garba, Buhari never made any promise to anyone
“The president never promised anything to anyone. It is on record in that lecture at Chatham House they asked him a question relating to expectations and what he specifically would do in relation to certain documents that were flying around committing him to this thing or that thing within 100 days. 
In that lecture, the video is already now viral on the web, he (Buhari) said it contained falsehood and I am not going to be engaged in deceit. I will go in there, I will see what is there and then get the intelligence, the knowledge of things that are going on and I will fully commit myself to serving Nigeria. 
My point is that as the director, media and communications of that campaign, I was responsible for internal and external communications and these so called documents that are been flown around didn’t have my signature. 
I didn’t fund them and I didn’t authorize them. From what President Buhari himself had said at Chatham House, he had no iota or knowledge of those documents. So, people cannot hold him to account on something to which he did not commit himself. 
We prefer to talk about milestones instead of achievements. Whether the milestones represent achievements or not, that is left for the people to decide. Milestones have been achieved  which is important for the country"he said. 
 
Quoting Buhari's reaction when asked a question of his alleged 100 days in office promises at Chatham house London, Shehu stated that President Buhari said 
The second one: high expectations and what to do with the first 100 days. Yes, I respect that question because quietly I was thinking about these high expectations. Those who are following the trail of our campaigns can see how people are turning out, some becoming emotional and crying. 
I am really getting scared that if I get there they will expect miracles within the next week or months. That would be very dicey handling that one. I think we have to have a deliberate campaign to temper high expectations with some reasonableness on the part of those who are expecting miracles to happen. 
Just to go first to the ‘first 100 days’, some of it is fraudulent and I don’t want to participate in any fraud in any form. Nigerians know that we are in trouble as a people and as a country.”
When we get there we will quickly get correct intelligence of what is on the ground and inform Nigerians and just learn what I have just read. 
We will make sure that the misappropriation and misapplication of public resources will not be allowed. You would be surprised by how much savings we will realize. That saving will be ploughed back into development and this is what I can promise. But I would remove that ‘100 days’”he said.

There is one remarkable thing about our president, his sincerity. If you watched the proceedings at the Chatham house prior to the election, when asked about the 100days in office promise, he distanced himself from it, he told them he doesn't believe in such that they are mere political promises of politicians and he doesn't subscribe to such.

Chai! How did we get to this? Imagine aboki taking us for a ride! Goodluck Jonathan, why did you do this to us? You were so clueless to the point of not knowing how to deploy your incumbency to retain your seat, instead you were docile to the point of being rigged out of office! And now, this! The "Covenant" document in question was written by the committee on policy and strategy headed by former Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi. It was a creation of Buhari and APC! What do these people take us for? Just because they know they haven't met any of those bogus promises they made, and it's almost 100days, they've been trying hard to deny th doc. I don't blame them. I blame GEJ. He brought this upon us.

Mind Treasures said...

Ook excuses stared too soon
Most times when we walk into big malls, boutiques, supermarkets, we never question their prices. We pay exactly what we see on the price tags and even hand out tips to the staff.
But the moment we are out of these shops and want to buy banana, our bargaining game gets off to the roof. Poor widow with 12 hungry children at home tells you banana is N100. She even takes out her time to explain how difficult it was for her to even buy it, how the economy is so tough.
But we insist that if it's not N50, we are not paying. Some of us even step back into our cars and make to drive away. But because 'half bread is better chin chin', this woman is forced to call you back and sell to you at little or no gain. In her heart, she cries, she's worried about how she'll survive with her children. She silently reassures herself that 'It's well.
God will definitely provide.'' While you happily chop the luscious banana. Take some seconds out and think about this, guys. Please don't bargain hard with small vendors like this. They do business not to buy designer bags, Gucci shoes but to LIVE and EAT!

Expectation hurts and that's exactly what's happening. Only someone who isn't familiar with Nigerian politics take what these politicians say to heart.People like me look at what the person can do,his abilities, his past records & the prospects.
And in fairness to him he never made mention of anything 100 days.It Nigerians & the norm that has been used over the time to rate public office holders

Unknown said...

True!, what Buhari consistently said was that when he gets there, he would look at what's on ground and then know how to chart his own course. He majorly also spoke on fighting corruption, insurgency and economic growth, all of which have commenced and milestones have been reached.

Can we move on please? Which sensible person will believe Nigerias problem will be solved in 100days Anyway? Gullible bunch

Okowright Balaxy said...

With this denial of campaign promises by Buhari, I won't be surprised if he end up spending four years in office without achieving anything. The only thing one hear from the presidency is probe, I begin to wonder if that's the only thing Buhari will do for the for years. There are diverse problems facing the Nigerian nation, unemployment, poor health system, education etc, but PMP has never said anything concerning those sector. The only noise he makes is probe that is targeted at his political foes. King of the North indeed. This is what happens when an incompetent and clueless man is voted into power.

Lies lies lies. It shows how desperate this apc liars were. How could they look us in the eyes and be so wicked. I blame the youths that never knew how wicked Buhari was as a president before. This is just the beggining

I won't be surprised if Buhari tell Nigerians that he never promised change. Now I believe the fact that the man suffers amnesia.

objective said...

Thank you for insisting not to have promised or achieved anything in 100days of your stay in government, infact I doubt if you promised anyone to achieve anything in four years. However, One achievement I wish to remind you is the ever increasing number of deaths by boko haram

ogeee said...

Becos he didn't achieve since may 29,abeg Buhari shuld start work no time oooo

I pray and hope PMB should deliver and bring d expectations of Nigerians to pass for dis is d most vital tin not all dis promises thereof.

Whether he promised or not, it is not out of line for Nigerians to appraise his 100 days in office. Although patience is important but delay is dangerous. The clock is ticking and Impressions are building and must not be neglected. Nigerians do not need promises to known that corruption need to be eradicated, bad roads need to be reconstructed, employment need to b made, uninterrupted Power supply is important, Education need to be improved etc. Maybe not outright change but the blue print is yet to be seen after 100days. APC why?

Heheheheh..Now....they are setting the records straight for the muguns who were shouting Sai Buhari after hearing all these election promises then.

Let them continue to lie. If the document were fake, why did they not say this the first day buhari assumed office? They can't fulfill anything they promised. They snatched power by deceit and yet they say they want to fight corruption. They should start by fighting the corruption inside the APC
