5 QUOTES FROM OBAMA’S VIDEO MESSAGE THAT APC IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH

1. “Nigeria is a great nation and you can be proud of the
progress you’ve made”

Obama acknowledges that Nigeria has made tremendous progress that we can be proud of. Listening to the APC’s message you will think that Nigeria is not Working and Obama rightly points that we have made progress under this present GEJ;s administration.

Who would want uncertain change over the chance to
keep progressing?

2. “Together, you won your independence, emerged from

military rule, and strengthened democratic institutions.” Read the quote again. Obama says Military rule is a no- going back to. Do we want to go back to being bound by the shackles of dictatorship? Buhari says he is a“reformed democrat” but as we all know a Leopard
doesn’t change its spot.

3. “You’ve worked hard to improve the lives of your

families and to build the largest economy in Africa.”
Contrary to all the lies that APC has been trying to sell.
Our economy is progressing and it did not become the
largest economy in Africa by chance but by good policies of the Jonathan’s administration. Obama states the fact whilst acknowledging livelihoods improvement and thereby makes APC the liars.

4. “Violence has no place in democratic elections—and
that they will not incite, support or engage in any kind
of violence—before, during, or after the votes are
counted”

When violence is mentioned, Nigerians cannot extricate
General Buhari from his famous statement before the
2011 elections and his famous silence after his
supporters went wild. The Blood of Dog and baboon
statement recently made concerning the 2015 elections
still echoes deeply. APC is threatening a parallel
government also… Obama’s speech is a clear warning
against that.

5. “Boko Haram wants to destroy Nigeria and all that
you have worked to build. By casting your ballot, you
can help secure your nation’s progress”
Secure your Nations progress. Don’t Change your
fortunes.

Obama’s call on Nigeria to secure our progress is like a
call to retain President Jonathan under whose
Presidency this progress has been achieved. As it is ill
advised to change a commander in chief during war,
Nigerians must fight together and eliminate Boko haram with the Armed forces who are presently winning the war and sustain this momentum.

Obama also said ”in this task of advancing the security, prosperity, and human rights of all Nigerians, you will continue to have a friend and partner in the United States of America.”

Lest we forget, Nigerians are still much aware of the
flagrant violation of Human Rights under General Buhari including rupture diplomatic relations with the UK and others.

What other areas of this President Obama’s speech do
you think APC is uncomfortable with?
