OPINION BY ETIM ETIM: Another look at Tinubu’s manifesto | TheCable
holding a party event at the State House since Nigerians don’t seem to care about such unfitting behaviour in our public life. The State House is the official seat of the federal government, our own equivalent of the White House in Washington DC, 10 Downing Street in London, and Elysée Palace in Paris.
Now, to the main focus of this piece. Tinubu’s manifesto is surprisingly lacking in depth, details, and strategy, with the most surprising element being what it leaves out. There is scant attention to the issue of oil theft and how he would deal with this problem which has become the single biggest threat to the nation’s economy. The document is also astonishingly reticent on how he would fight corruption.
The document also pledges to “implement the Host Community Development Trust” which seeks to encourage oil companies’ assistance to host communities. I support all measures that will develop the oil communities, but from experience, offering communities money or oil is not the solution. The restiveness was created because the government, both federal and state failed to invest in the communities.
