133million Poor Nigerians, Still One Of Lowest Statistics In West Africa – APC Presidential Council

The APC council added that the states with heightening poverty in the country are states controlled by the opposition party, while listing Sokoto and Bayelsa.


The All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council has said that the recent report of 133million poor Nigerians is still one of the lowest in the West African sub-region.

The APC council added that the states with heightening poverty in the country are states controlled by the opposition party, while listing Sokoto and Bayelsa.

The APC campaign council Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga, stated this in an interview with PUNCH, while claiming that the APC government had not disappointed Nigerians as widely perceived.

He said, “The manifesto the party used to come to power in 2015 is right there. I agree that the APC made some promises. This social investment is one of them too. The party said it would fight corruption. Is the government still not fighting corruption now? The APC government has also been doing certain things concerning unemployment in the country. They create new jobs, offer training facilities to young entrepreneurs and many others.

“I suggest you journalists should read that report again. When the NBS, World Bank and other international institutions are talking about poverty, they keep shifting the goal post. The initial assumption is that if you are earning below one dollar a day, you are poor. Now, they have shifted it to about two dollars or more a day. What the NBS is talking about is multidimensional poverty.

“It also talked about improvement in the monetary side of the report. What this means is that 40 per cent of Nigerians are poor if you use money as an index. But when you apply a multidimensional aspect to it, the figure will shoot up. Don’t let us fool ourselves, Nigeria is a very poor country. If you go by all the global statistics on per capita income, ours is one of the lowest even in West Africa.

“So when they are talking about 133 million Nigerians are suffering from multidimensional poverty, it includes housing, access to health facilities, education, transport and others. I can even tell you categorically that the NBS underestimated it.”

Most people in APC are evil spirit

APC is the most incompetent, useless, hopeless and moronic government in Nigerian history, yet Nigerians voted twice for them. What does that make Nigerians?

If you still support these apc demons. try to see a medical doctor.

These APC people can never change, see what this man is vomiting from his mouth. Vote APC and see Nigeria go into extinction. That's all I have to say.

Sorry, but if 133m Nigerians are poor how many people come remain for the country? Omo that's almost the entire country. APC should rest abeg.

These guys are demons.

Chai. So it should be more

The babalawo wey do juju wey these people take dey get supporters will not die well.

Please stop saying we voted them twice. Yes we voted them the first time but the second was definitely imposition. They forced themselves upon us.

133 million living in poverty out of estimated 250 million and APC said its not a bad stats!

men! this guys are pure demons!

AND BATSTARD URCHINS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE ARE STILL CAMPAIGNING FOR THEM BC OF STIPENDS!

Damn it!

The most painful part in the whole matter is that these bat*stards aren't apologetic one bit rather they keep rubbing it in our face. So the entire country's populace should go into extinction before it dawn's on them that there's acute poverty in the land

APC is a evil and Devilish party..
All their supporters are heartless and Devilish.
Tinubu is just a criminal

They will still come.back and call it misinterpretation of what they said....

APC matter na like women matter...no need to over think am cos u already know their way

We are now dragging who is worse... when some countries are struggling to be least poverty ridden..

Where did we get it wrong..

These fools in APC are completely mad. What do these people take Nigerians for?

A country of less than 200 million people yet has 133 million deep in multidimensional poverty but instead of them to see it as a crises situation they're here capping nonsense!

Even India and China with over 1 billion people each yet they have less poor people than Nigeria.

It would never be well with these criminals in APC!!!

APC urchins at the helm of affairs are foolishly cursed.

I do not blame these people; what else do you expect them to say if they must continue with their paymaster?
I blame the poor people who go around on empty stomach shouting on top of their lungs defending the indefensible.

No babalawo anywhere; they are only cashing out on our gullibility, ignorance and sheer irredeemability.

Many are mad, few are roaming

Then, push the figure to the highest in Africa then. What a foolish, careless talk!

See what APC has reduced Nigeria to? We are now comfortable being better than few West African countries?

What temerity and audacity!! This is a party some Idiots are still supporting? It tells you that Nigeria can never be better? APC is evil and must be resisted by all means!

Most folks in APC not evil spirit

Even Ikpeazu and his people would blame APC and Buhari, same as Almajiri people

All not most

Apc abi Apv is hell bent at making life more miserable for ordinary Nigerians

Imagine such insolence.
Spits.

The Foolishness being exhibited by this Bayo lately is unrivalled

They're bent on destroying Nigeria patapata..just imagine what these ppl are saying..God will punish u all and ur paid supporters

Just Imagine the shameless bunch, you plunge 70 percent of your population into heavy poverty and you say it's okay because you think it's among the lowest in West Africa even though it's clear no other country on earth has so much poor people living in it
