Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has gone prophetic with a prediction of 20 things Nigerians should expect to happen under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government in 2016.

In a statement personally signed by him, Tuesday, he said: “Fellow

Nigerians, I want you to take note of the followings that will unavoidably

happen under the Buhari-led government in 2016.”

1. Workers Strike: There will be so much industrial unrest, especially in

the first quarter of the year.

2. Subsidy: There will be removal of fuel subsidy and petrol (PMS) will

sell over and above N100/litre, leaving the masses in more serious

hardship. Product will not be available and long queue in petrol stations

will persist throughout the first quarter of 2016 and beyond.

3. Electricity: Power generation will drop to the lowest ebb. Still,

Federal Government will increase tariff in 2016.

4. Unemployment: Millions of jobs will be lost in 2016 as against the

three million jobs promised by the APC yearly. Most States and Federal

Government will retrench workers as evident in the over 2,000 Federal

University workers already sacked.

5. Economic Policy: Most private owned middle-class businesses will fold

up because of bad economic policies of the Buhari-led government.

6. Devaluation: The Naira will continue to have a free fall which will

take it to as low as N320 to one Dollar.

7. Economy: The Buhari-led FG will have no solution to country’s economic

problems.

8. Security: Boko Haram will keep spreading and the Shiite Muslims will

get more emboldened.

9. Human Rights: Penchant for dictatorship will rise with rampant human

rights abuses and disobedience to court orders.

1. Anti-Corruption: Insincerity in the fight against corruption will

continue and the fight will not only be selective and political, but

targeted more at Southerners.

1. Elections: Attempt to forcefully control any of the South South States

of Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Bayelsa by the APC will lead to unprecedented

deaths.

2. Economy: Crude oil price will fall to below and about $30 per barrel.
3. Anti-Press Laws: The masses, especially men of the media profession

will rise against the FG’s plot to deny Nigerians of their rights to

freedom of expression. There will wide condemnations by Nigerians and the

International community against President Buhari’s human rights abuses and

disobedience to court orders.

4. Polity: Renewed efforts will be made to remove Senator Bukola Saraki

as the Senate President; this will not only fail, but will heat the

polity.

5. Hardships: Nigerians will experience more hardships. The President

himself attested to this (THE SUN newspaper Tuesday, December 15, 2015).

This obviously negates the change Nigerians voted for.

6. Elections: Plot by the APC to take control of at least one South South

State will lead to death of many people. Particularly, rerun elections in

Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States will cause many deaths.

7. Corruption: Halliburton scam may be revisited in 2016.
8. Kogi State: Court will sack Governor-Elect, Yahaya Bello.

Bayelsa State: Governor Seriake Dickson will win the supplementary election.

Taraba State: Governor Darius Ishaku will be victorious at the Court.

1. Politics: There will be subtle political alignment and realignment

before the end of the year ahead of 2019 elections.
