President Buhari Has Done more for the Poor than any Regime SInce 1999

Constitutional Lawyer, Mr Festus Keyamo (SAN), has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari has touched the lives of the masses in the Nigerian Society more than any president since the reintroduction of democracy in 1999.

Kayamo, who is the Director Media, Buhari Campaign Organisation, made this declaration in Ilorin, Kwara State during the unvieling of Buhari/Osinbajo Project 2019.

Keyamo who delivered a lecture at the occasion said that no government in the country has recovered stolen money that belonged to Nigerians as president Buhari.

He stated that the previous administration established a terrible president of sharing money belonging the the Nigeria people indiscriminately.

He added that Buhari has done well by collecting monies accumulated by rich people and redistributing it to the poor in the country.

“They operated a system that ignored physical infrastructure in the country, that ignored the plight of the poor, the weak and the vulnerable in Nigeria.

“If you compare what accrued to the country in 16 years and what were done with the money earned in three years and infrastructure built by Buhari, you will see the difference.

“In 16 years, all they did in the South East was Onisha-Owerri road, whereas in three years, President Buhari is doing four major road construction in the region,” Keyamo said.

He listed the administration’s intervention programmes for the poor and vulnerable which included the ₦5, 000 monthly stipends, feeding of over eight million school pupils and soft loans of between N250, 000 and N350, 000 to small business owners.

“These social intervention programmes show that Buhari’s government is touching the lives of the poor than the rich,” he said.
“We should not go back to that era of nonpayment of salary and suffering of the masses,” Keyamo added.

“You must fight for your liberation before you can be liberated, we must come together to salvage the state form the oppressor.
