Attack On Fashola: Akabueze Replies Obanikoro by CollinsColz(m): 2:51pm On Jan 07, 2014 |
Lagos State Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Ben Akabueze has replied Senator Musiliu Obanikoro’s recent attacks on Governor Bababtunde Fashola on the state’s 2014 budget, describing it as a feigned attack. According to Akabueze, the former Nigerian ambassador to Ghana is not an economist or financial expert and so he is dabbling into a subject he does not fully understand. Akabueze said Obanikoro’s recent article on the Lagos State 2014 budget is just as sloppy as the earlier article he wrote on the Lekki Concession Company, LCC, transaction that was full of inaccuracies and shallow theoretical analysis. He said: “My attention has been drawn to an article purportedly written by Senator Musiliu Obanikoro. I know Sen. Obanikoro is not an economist or financial expert and so I suspect someone wrote this piece for him. If my suspicion is right then the author did him great dissservice. “If, however, Obanikoro wrote this himself, then he will need a lot of education on the subject of public sector budgeting if, as I suspect, he still aspires to govern today’s Lagos State.” Akabueze said further that Obanikoro’s ‘critical review’ of the State’s budget is replete with phantom figures so much so that it would amount to a waste of time to try to address the inaccuracies individually. He, therefore, challenged Obanikoro to a public forum to debate the LCC buy-out transaction, the 2014 budget and any other matter relating to management of Lagos State’s economy. “Obanikoro’s speculative comments about the amounts and timing of Bonds issued, as well as increase in the 2014 recurrent expenditure are very pedestrian. His criticism of the residents registration exercise is dumbfounding as anyone with elementary understanding of economics will appreciate the need for accurate demographic data for planning. “And by the way, Obanikoro and his shadowy writers would be welcome to a public forum to debate the LCC buy-out transaction, the 2014 budget and any other matter relating to the management of Lagos State’s economy after they have hopefully done their homework. “The fact is that Lagos State Government operates at a level of financial management that the likes of Obanikoro and his phantom writers must work very hard to fly to,” Akabueze said. http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2014/01/07/attack-on-fashola-akabueze-replies-obanikoro/ 4 Likes |

Obanikoro has a focus by criticising the present administration in lagos state. Thats ministerial appointment in case PDP returns in 2015. But watchout, they have all failed! Let him prove himself capable and intelligent by challenging the opposition in public debate. All enemies of progress in Nigeria will die by ...crash ........ Let somebody say Ameeeeeen 1 Like |

Mynd_44: He called him out to a debate? This is classic.

GEJ ran away from last Presidential debate. Oby Ezikwesili has called them out...nobody dare take her up...even Madam Imperial Minister. So you think Koro will want to embarrass himself with any LASG official? He thinks Fin. Mgt. is all about cooking local goverment, state ministry, federal ministry and embassy books? 10 Likes |

Budgeting and planning for a state like Lagos is not beans. Obanikoro will dare not try come to such debate. I know Akabueze very well. He sure knows his onions. Fashola didn't just keep him in that position for two tenures for nothing if Akabueze is not a master in the game. If Obanikoro tries it, he will sure live to regret it. 9 Likes |

This is a ploy to cover up! Why not simply tell us how much Fashola bought his jeeps? Was that not Obanikoro's main allegations? It seems Akabueze is only interested in the LCC buy-out because he suspects that Obanikoro doesn't have all the details but he should tell us in no ambiguous terms how much Fashola bought his jeeps. Period!!!! 7 Likes 1 Share |

[size=15pt] In case Ben Akabueze pretends not to get Obanikoro's observations : 1) He raised issues about Fashola's two bullet proof cars categorically stating that those cars cost far more than Oduah's 2) The PDP also raised the issue of the Sunborn Yacht scandal Akabueze should go direct into clearing the air and stop beating about the bush.

In PDP governments, it's outsiders who invite them for debates (which of course they can't honor cos they have nothing to offer). But in the case of APC, it's the govt that challenges outsiders to a debate. This obviously tells us a lot about the 2 camps. But more importantly, it's a golden opportunity for the so-called opposition in Lagos State to 'reveal' what's going on in govt to us. I seriously hope they'll take up Mr. Akabueze's challenge. It'll set a good precedence in the country and really help our democracy. 2 Likes |

This is where you know that some of you are simply daft and bereft of basic reasoning. Akabueze challenged Koro to an open debate to discuss all the issues (2 helicopters, Sunburn yatch, LCC buy-out, Jeeps etc) real-time, yet you're still saying Akabueze could not answer Haba!!! are you that full of deficit It's simple, Akabueze not only challenged Koro, but as well all his consultants. He even reminded them to do their homework before coming..... Goddex: 3 Likes |
