Alh. Yahaya Mavo has decried the strangulating monetary policies of Tinubu administration

A retired Permanent Secretary of the Plateau State Government, Alhaji Yahaya Mavo has described the economic policies of the present APC government as choking and unbearable noting that meddle class in Nigeria as disappeared, it is either you are rich or poor

He stated this in an interview with pressmen in his office in Office in Jos Plateau state.

Mavo noted that Nigerians have never had so badly since gaining independent in 1960, highlighting that one of the fundamental responsibilities of government is welfare and security of the citizens, but the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is focusing more profit making through revenue generation than providing succur to the people, citing that the removal of subsidy was carried out without recourse to how it will impact on transportation which invariables affects all sectors of the economy

He said the people are suffering because the government is focusing more on profit making than providing more social services that will touch the lives of the masses.

He urged the government to rescind it proposed tax nothing reform which he will add more injuries to already very economy.

Mavo noted 2027 is not far and if things continue like this, he will not be surprised with the decisions of Nigerian because they are wiser now.

 He commended the administration of His Excellency barrister Caleb Mutfwan for the restoration of peace and harmony in state, most especially his handling of the Mangu crises which was timely and very efficient.

Noting that the developmental strides of the Mutfang administration are aim at alleviating the suffering of the people which are very commendable.

 

Hate or like him, Donald Trump's Doggedness earned him the victory.

Donald Trump's victory on November 5th is quite remarkable, considering all he's been through. Despite losing his re-election bid in 2020, being impeached twice, and facing numerous investigations and lawsuits, he's still managed to come out on top . His conviction on 34 felony counts of business fraud related to hush money payments during the 2016 election hasn't seemed to hinder his presidential ambitions either . In fact, his campaign has reportedly seen a surge in fundraising dollars since the verdict .

It's worth noting that Trump's eligibility to run for president hasn't been affected by his felony conviction. According to Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution, the only requirements to serve as president are that the person must be at least 35 years old, a U.S. resident for at least 14 years, and a natural-born citizen .

The Impact of Trump's Conviction on the 2024 Election.

While some might think Trump's conviction would hurt his chances, strategists predict a muted impact on the election . A recent ABC News/Ipsos poll found that only 4% of Trump's supporters said they would withdraw their support if he's convicted of a felony .

Trump's sentencing is scheduled for November 26, and he faces up to 20 years in prison . However, experts think it's unlikely he'll receive a harsh sentence, given his age and the non-violent nature of the crimes .

It's clear that Trump's resilience and determination have allowed him to overcome significant obstacles. Love him or hate him, it's undeniable that he's a force to be reckoned with in American politics.
