But “Dem Say Na Lie”: GEJ’s Campaign on Obama, Buhari’s ‘Foreign’ Endorsement of Nigeria’s Economy Growth [WATCH]
There is something about this Jonathan administration that you cannot
fault, it is that everybody seems to agree on the state of Nigerian
Economy these days and the massive growth it has experienced under
the Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
The “Dem Say Na Lie” Advert brings to bear the obvious Economic
Achievements of the President
which includes the rebasing exercise, our Economic diversification spearheaded in the Agriculture sector by globally acclaimed Akinwumi Adesina ‘ Forbes man of the Year 2013’,
something that has seen
Nigeria attracting the largest Rice Processing Factory in Sub-Saharan Africa (Olam Factory in Nassarawa State), the Foreign Direct Investment in Critical sectors like Power such as the $1bn General Electric Power Plant in Calabar, the revival of manufacturing sector with Nissan, Hyundai owning manufacturing and assembly plants in Nigeria, including our very own Innoson Factory in Anambra with cars patronized by Jonathan’s government to boost local production.

Yet, cynical citizens and ever critical opposition will always seek
to ridicule and condemn this as lies. While showing the reality of these
achievements with proof the Ad attributes the value of a credible voice
who spoke highly in such a way that could be considered as an
endorsement of President Jonathan’s positioning of Nigeria’s Economy.
“Well, I appreciate very much the opportunity to meet once again with
President Jonathan and his delegation. Obviously, Nigeria is one of
the most powerful and fastest-growing countries in the world. I think
that’s testified by the fact that President Jonathan is going to have
the opportunity to ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
(Laughter.) I think it signifies how important Nigeria is becoming in
the global economy.” – President Barack Obama (New York - September 23,
2013)
In other global forum it is incredibly difficult to deny the success
as opposition candidate Buhari (who denies this at home) used the
Chatham stage and spoke highly of the Nigerian Economy managed by
Jonathan, which has been the toast of the world even following the IMF,
Goldman Sachs Projections and current rating by CNN as the third fastest
growing Economy in the world.
Buhari said,: ”After the rebasing exercise in April 2014, Nigeria
overtook South Africa as Africa’s largest economy. Our GDP is now valued
at $510 billion and our economy rated 26th in the world. Also on the
bright side, inflation has been kept at single digit for a while and our
economy has grown at an average of 7% for about a decade.” -
General Buhari (Chatham House, UK February 27, 2015)
The curious thing is why the several statistics and figures used at
home and the various unverified claims by his party on corruption were
not stated at the Chatham event, even as they were quick to make such
claims on security.
Our verdict is that they simply do not exist and are made up to confuse Nigerians. And when you see Global Analysts, Institutions, Global Leaders and General Buhari in front of his London Crowd saying the same thing, we can agree that the Nigerian Economy is indeed working despite the global oil price crises.
