Nigeria - Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the running mate for the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari has said Buhari will defeat Boko Haram if he wins the elections next year.
He said this during a Q and A session which he responded to on Twitter. He said Buhari would end corruption in the management of Nigeria's defence funds (which is the direct result of the poor equipment of the troops.)
“The current administration has politicised boko haram," he tweeted. "The corruption around the defence funds has created a situation where soldiers are not well equipped/motivated."
He tweeted further: "GMB wiped out Maitatsine, another Islamic insurgency in his own administration, by sincerely identifying the problem as a challenge to the authority of the state to maintain law and order."
“The administration took command and funded the military transparently and that is what we need to do to end insurgency.”
Apart from the insurgency issue, Osinbajo also talked about APC's plan for employment, nothing that 80% of Nigeria's fresh graduates are unemployed.
“The focus of APC is on jobs jobs jobs! The question we ask about every policy is: how many jobs will this produce. We have three broad approaches."
“We expect every state will be supported to create 20,000 jobs directly funded. The FG will also match the creation for every additional job created over the 20,000 mark."
“Post Youth service: FG will pay a stipend to every ‘youth corper’ for a year while they are looking for employment and in that year wed will give vocational training."
“FG will undertake a massive public works programme. This is expected to have the multiplier effect of producing hundreds of thousands of jobs. FG will give tax breaks and recognition to employers of labour who provide a certain minimum number of jobs.”
When confronted with the accusation that APC and PDP were no different in ideology, Osinbajo responded: “The APC in an ideological sense is left of centre. In other words, its focus is on policies that will impact the lives of the common man.
"We have social programmes such as social welfare (first in Africa), free education, mass employment, universal healthcare insurance and free meals programme in primary schools. The difference is in the ticket; integrity is key.”
