Says: I’m only a noise-maker

Governor of Niger state, Dr Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, yesterday pleaded with President Goodluck Jonathan to regard his criticisms of the presidency as a mere noise-making aimed at attracting development to his state.

Aliyu, who is the chairman of the Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF), spoke yesterday in Zungeru, Wushishi local government area of the state, during the ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of a 700-megawatt hydropower plant, performed by the president.

Jonathan made no direct response to the governor’s plea in his own address, but instead promised to assent to the Hydro Power Producing Areas Commission (HYPPADEC) bill, which formed part of the governor’s requests, without further delay.

Apparently sounding apologetic as an aftermath of the suspension of Governor Rotimi Ameachi of Rivers state by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Aliyu said his criticisms of Jonathan were not personal and should not be regarded as an affront to the Presidency.

He said: “Regardless of the noise we are making, PDP shall make it. We are one family and we are firmly with the President”.

He thanked Jonathan for the gift of the hydropower plant, saying it has brought to four the number of hydropower stations in Niger state.

“Hydro dams would boost the economic activities of the host communities and elevate the living standards of the local people,” he said.

Laying the foundation stone of the project, Jonathan restated the commitment of his administration to the success of the power sector reforms, stressing that the initial challenges facing the sector have been overcome.

He said the Zungeru hydropower project will open up vast agricultural activities in the area, including allied industries, in addition to improving the economic potentials of the state and the country.

In his remarks, the Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo, said the nation’s power-generating capacity has risen to 4,517 megawatts, adding that the Zungeru power plant project has been on the drawing board since 1982 and praised Jonathan for bringing it to reality.

Ameachi as the kitchen hots up all the flies around U wil back out one by one till U are left on your own..Sasd there are no permanent loyalist in politcs

Hehehehe...shame that this man is wiser than Amaechi. By the time the dust settles, Amaechi will be going to court to reclaim his "mandate" and to answer EFCC ,while those that cheered him on would be by the corner and blaming him for daring too far.

@op, he is not begging GEJ, he is rather trying to fool gej the more. Haven't u heard of the mafia's law-be close to ur friend but be closer to ur enemy..all na wash.

Nigerian politics should be studied differently from the normal democracy government.

This politicians seem to amuse me more and more.

If you believe this then you will agree that Amaechi is not wise.

Why did Ameachi not keep his enemy closer?

Aliyu is saving his neck

story-story from the stables of 'the ugliest governor' (within and without).
just prepare for EFCC visit come 30 May 2015.
