In an article published on Monday, the newspaper said Nigerians will feel better if Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, was elected president.

inancial Times, the top London-based publication, has taken a swipe at the President Muhammadu Buhari-led istration since 2014.

In an article published on Monday, the newspaper said Nigerians will feel better if Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, was elected president.

“If Yemi Osinbajo, the technocratic Vice President, were miraculously to make it through the campaign ticket and emerge as president, the hearts of Nigerian optimists would beat a little faster,” it said.

“But that may be to underestimate the depth of Nigeria’s quagmire. The problem is not so much who leads the government as the nature of government itself."

According to the newspaper, the Buhari istration failed to tackle the country's insecurity, Nigeria's debt profile increased under his watch.

“Buhari has overseen two of economic slump, rising debt and a calamitous increase in kidnapping and banditry – the one thing you might have thought a former general could control," the newspaper added.

“Next year, many of the of government will change, though not necessarily the bureaucracy behind it.

“Campaigning has already begun for presidential elections that in February 2023 will draw the curtain on eight years of the istration of Muhammadu Buhari, on whose somnolent watch Nigeria has sleepwalked closer to disaster.”

The newspaper also said financial strength has remained a crucial determinant of the country's election winners.

The media outlet said Nigeria’s presidential election is estimated to cost $2billion.
“Familiar candidates to replace him (Buhari), mostly recycled old men, are already counting their money ahead of a costly electoral marathon.

"It takes an estimated $2billion to get a president elected. Those who pay will expect to be paid back,” it added.

Pmb is a punishment to Nigerians for stubborness.
2023 is by the corner. If u like carry your stubborness again with tinubu . Una never see anything.

Why are Nigerians not feeling better with him as VP? Is he no longer in charge of the Economy?.

The only difference between VP and his oga is that one attended university while the other one entered bush with cattles, apart from that, there's no difference between them. They are both super clueless.

And it's even sad that some people are trying to wash Osinbajo clean from Buhari's failure.

I love osinbajo.

How is he in charge of the economy?

I don't really envy the next president
Because he has a huge task ahead of him

I thought he is in charge of the national economic council ?

Toh

It's the opinion of the writer. That's democracy,everyone should be allowed to express his or her opinion decently without infringing on another.
I will be surprised if this is not a subtle but deliberate attempt to campaign from outside
Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu. Asiwaju Tinubu is extremely capable and competent to lead Nigeria to greater heights.

Constitutionally he presides over National Economic Council meeting but he is not in charge of the economy.

What evidence do you have to prove your allegation?. This is how ignorant folks like you end up being thrown in a cell for character assassination.

Mtchewww.

What Constitutional power did he have to influence anything? every thing he does is subjected to ratification by buhari, he can't go beyond the limits that was set for him, what you borrow is different from what you own, Osibanjo problems started when he wanted to out perform buhari when he was the acting president, life was squeezed out of him but he keep calm, I know you can't understand because bitterness and hatred have filled up the comprehensive side

I wasn't asking you for motivational speech. Provide ANY proofs directly/indirectly linking him to the killing.

According to the Financial Times, the Buhari istration failed to tackle the country's insecurity, Nigeria's debt profile increased under his watch.

Are there any proofs that Babangida killed Dele Giwa? Evil pple providing cover for themselves.

Awon apanijaiye

DrGoodman:
Osinbajo was an excellent lawyer, a good SAN and an erudite intellectual, but he will make a very bad president. For one, he has never shown it in him that he can take on the evil powers that has ruined Nigeria & still ruining it. He has been in bed with the tormentors of his people.

I gave up on the man when he couldn't do anything even as the number 2 man in the country even as his own state was suffering terrorism ed by a section of this country with whom he is stroding the same corridors of power.

Some of his townspeople are still living in Benin Republic while he sits in Abuja, doing nothing.People on the ground see him as an infective person who will be standing helpless while the country burns..

Yes of course, there is a strong proof linking IBB to Dele Giwa's assassination. Unless you're a kid playing around with a phone.

Semantics to confuse yourself further.

The joke is on the mumus who are trying to separate Osibanjo from Buhari's failed regime when in real sense both men are same fingers of a leprous hand.

Afonjas are sharply divided over this piece of shitty news.

To worship or not to worship financial times now is their dilema

BeardedmeatR:

You need some Education. National Economic Council which he presides to give s to the 36 state Governors is different from Economic Advisory Team which is under the President himself.
Nairaland has become a breeding ground for ignorant population.
