I acted within my powers, says ex-Minister Mohammed The Senate is exploring ways and means of invoking sanctions against former President Goodluck Jonathan and some former ministers for allegedly appropriating reserved plots of land in Abuja. According to the Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the plots acquired by Jonathan and his ministers were designated as green areas, flood drains, city buffers, recreation centres, sewage lines, urban farming and city monuments. At a briefing yesterday, the chairman of the Committee, Senator Dino Melaye, said the illegally acquired areas fall within the highbrow Maitama District. Describing the action of Jonathan and his ministers as “satanic”, Melaye blamed the immediate past former Minister of the FCT, Senator Bala Mohammed, for the “indiscretion”. Besides Jonathan, the committee listed other beneficiaries of the “land grab” to include former Petroleum Minister Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke and former Justice Minister Mohammed Adoke. Other beneficiaries include former Trade and Investment Minister Olusegun Aganga; Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus and FCT Executive Director Ismaila Adamu. Some of the beneficiaries have started erecting structures on the plots, which were “hurriedly allocated” in the twilight of the last administration. Certificates of Occupancy were hurriedly issued for the plots, the committee alleged. Melaye said: “Senator Bala Mohammed, in his bid to satisfy some powerful Nigerians before the end of his tenure, disregarded the wisdom of his predecessors and the vision of the founding fathers of Abuja. “He went ahead to implement Messrs Fola Consult Limited’s recommendation by allocating these important features/endowments, including the Maitama Hills, to these powerful Nigerians. “It is pathetic to state that one of the allottees has erroneously burst a sewage conduit pipe and the entire area messed up with offensive odour which could trigger off serious epidemic within that location.” Faulting Mohammed’s defence of the allocations, Melaye said the former minister’s action amounted to maladministration, adding that “it is satanic “. He added that the committee plans to put a Stop Work Order on the various construction sites on the plots. Besides, the beneficiaries are to replace all the trees they felled during construction. But Mohammed said the committee was misinformed on the allocations. In an advertorial published in some national dailies, the former Minister said he never acted outside the limits of his powers. In the advertorial, signed on his behalf by his Media Consultant, Mr. Emma Agu, Mohammed insisted that the Abuja Master Plan had never been inviolable. According to him, the Abuja Master Plan is a dynamic road map for the city’s land use and infrastructure development, guided by the demands of change and time. He added that his actions were informed by the need to ensure full utilisation of available resources and that the allocations were made in compliance with the Land Use Act. According to him, construction was approved after the allottees had obtained building plan approvals from the Department of Development Control of the FCT. He urged the Senate committee to seek adequate information from the FCT administration, stressing that the allocations could only be reversed by an incumbent Minister of the FCT. http://thenationonlineng.net/jonathan-alison-madueke-named-in-abuja-land-grab/

GEJ will soon get jailed. In my honest opinion, it is a matter of time. Yet some shameless people who are still struggling to get the 100 naira MB they need to come online will continue to shout "GEJ their hero". Such a shame. Bigotry, ethnicity and nepotism has eaten some people up deeply. These idiots who regard gej as their hero when asked questions, one will discover they are not supporting gej the shoeless man but rather GEJ the southerner Christian from their region and hating on Buhari because he is a northerner who happens to be muslim. Wole Soyinka was right, this generation was dead on arrival. 77 Likes 12 Shares |

Buhari will be a disappointment if GEJ is not jailed. And never again we will allow ourselves to be fooled by someone claiming poverty. He was shoeless, we should have taught it out. If he was shoeless, it means he was careless too. Back in the days, parents weren't lazy, they go the extra mile to ensure their wards have the necessary stuffs. They do this through farming, every farm have one land to farm to the other. Gej's parents bought him shoes, he was careless with it. He LOST it. He couldn't be trusted again hence his parents didn't buy him a replacement ( maybe cos it happened too many times and they got tired) but we foolishly trusted the careless clueless one to be careful with over 150m people. 23 Likes 4 Shares |

BaddieKay:They should do the same for Nepa and other parastals. Nigeria is the only nation in the world that pays "investors" to buy their companies. When you pay someone to buy your property as witnessed in NEPA. PDP and GEJ were worst than the Amalekites that invaded David and took spoils of his children and wealth in 1st Samuel 30. But like David, we will pursue, overtake and recover all and even some interest. 7 Likes 1 Share |

It is not uncommon to hear that politicians allocate land to themselves when they're in office. I'll want to say even Fashola and Tinubu did this when they were governors (though I have no proof of this). So, since the senate have proof of the shady dealings, they should go ahead and do what's necessary. 2 Likes |

Mjshexy: Without a doubt previous minister's have awarded lands meant to green areas to themselves and cronies, however, If you read the minister's response yesterday. He alluded to the fact that ministers hill was never designated as a green area but because of rocky and hilly nature, full development was possible. on a lighter note... If not anything self I believe I've lived longer than you in Abuja  |

WATCHOVER:I was expecting personal attacks such as this. Some of you, most of you lot, when you talk, you talk just so you can show how dumb you are, not because you have something meaningful to add to the discourse. If you lot know the meaning of Zombie, you won't use it on others. Look into a mirror, you will find a zombie right there. 3 Likes |
