We never spent billions on independence
anniversary-Jonathan

We were taken aback by the recent comment
reportedly credited to His Excellency, Governor
Nasir El-rufai where he claimed that the
immediate past President, His Excellency, Dr.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s administration spent
N64billion to cover the country independence
anniversary spending in five years.

The break down, according to the governor
showed that N13billion was spent in 2011,
N15billion in 2012 and N14billion in 2013 and
N22billion allegedly spent in 2014.
This tissue of lies was contained on his facebook
comment on Thursday.

Ordinarily, we would have allowed this to go as
just ranting of a favour seeker , but for the sake
of ordinary Nigerians who were abreast of
happenings under the administration and also
those who never did, we will like to set the record straight.
It is important to correct the misinformation so
that the unsuspecting public would not be misled.

For the record, a breakdown of our anniversary
spending between 2012 to 2014 amounted to
N332.6million. We challenge the Office of the
Government of the Federation( OSGF) to publish
these details for the consumption of the public.
For the record, a breakdown of our spending for
this event between 2012 and 2104 goes thus;
2012-107.6million; 2013-45million and 2014 had 180million due to Centenary involvement.

So, the question here is where did the billions as claimed by el-rufai emanate from?
Even though that of 2010 and 2011 are not handy now, but it should be known that they all fall within the same bracket as the one stated, except that the 2010 anniversary was a golden one when the country marked her 50 year of independence.
But even then , not such outrageous sum was
either budgeted or expended.
Again, it is germane to explain the increase in the 2013 anniversary spending for the purpose of accountability. The National Honours Award
Investiture was incorporated into the celebration, thus making it two events in one, hence the N174,800,000.00 budget.
We also want to add that the said award
investiture could not hold in 2013 and the
approved budget rolled over and was utilized to
organise the investiture in 2014.
It is high time government functionaries desist from abusing their immunity by destroying history and trading on lies just to gain cheap popularity or curry one favour or the other from certain quarters.

Perhaps President Olusegun Obasanjo was right in. his assessment of el-rufai when he said in his
latest memoir, My Watch that his vivid
recollection of him (el rufai)is his penchant for
lying, for unfair embellishment of stories and his inability to sustain loyalty for long.

That exactly is what el-rufai has done with his
ungodly fabrication of lies against Jonathan
government.
One hopes that President Buhari would be on
guard against being misled by the likes of el-rufai who are hell bent on misinforming the Nigerian public.

Story for the gods.. we were there, when they approved billions for independence, but they used millions to execute it..

El Rufaiiiiiii!

El, Oshiomhole, Buhari, and their Captain, Lai Mohammed had issues to settle with simple arithmetics

Propaganda can win elections but can save good governance. APC is a deceitful party.

See heavy lie oooo. Even Satan the devil, the Lucifer in HELL fire will be amazed by this lie this GEJ supporter is lashing out. We were all aware when the billions were announced on all over the place for the celebration of all independence day ceremonies in Nigeria during the era when stealing was not corruption. Kai naija na wao.
