At this time of our political history, the conse1quences could be dangerous. Our friends of the media, three hundred and sixty five days may appear too short a period to assess the gains of our return to democratic rule. But it is enough time to enable any constructive mind to know where we are going based on the activities of the PDP controlled Federal Government in the past one year. Economic indices show that the average Nigerian is poorer today than he was one year ago. At the rate we are going, Naira may become worthless.
Hunger pervades the land in the midst of plenty.
Unemployment continues to remain high with majority of our youth roaming the streets in search of jobs and those already employed being retrenched in thousands. The Poverty Alleviation Programme of the Federal Government has failed to address the fundamental issue of poverty. It has become a tool for partisan political patronage to favour a select few. The vast majority of the over one hundred million Nigerians who live in daily want for bread and water have no access to the sham of a scheme funded with billions of tax payers money, with the ulterior motive of creating a thuggery generation. We advocate a functional social security system for the country.
