Elxandre:
Stop talking nonsense.

Most of the money mishandled was for the re-lection campaign.

Since we the 200 million citizens do NOT contribute our own little widow's mite as the oyinbos do, the politicians have to STEAL from us.
That was what the Donatus General of Buhari's campaign did with River's people's money, not so

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

Nigeria still never serious for steady supply of electricity. Just yesterday south Africa invested 3.8 billion dollars in electricity alone not withstanding that electricity lasts months before electricity is taken due to load shedding. Nigeria has the money,is all a matter of seriousness to achieve a purpose.

This govt nawah, is Abuja and Nassarawa the only states in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a country and problems such as Electricity is a global issue that should be tackled collectively to include all states not just FCT.

Ephemmm:
While I am not here to defend the loopholes, remember that budget is just an estimation of expected revenue and expenses which cannot be 100% accurate: it is an estimation, but not certainty. When it comes to auditing and accountability, one has to defend his expenses not necessarily a budget.

You are not defending but then you are asking us to remember.
Remember what exactly, please?
Who is FOOLING who

If it was under the last administration

Jonathan would have divided the money into two, instruct the CBN to disburse it

Ngozi will sign it off

Dasuki will distribute it

Thank God for change

Change CHAIN to a party whose navigator used $16 billion to buy us blackout, not so

captainBIAFRA:
Groups suspected to be allies of former military dictator, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, IBB, have called for the probe of former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on the alleged $16 billion power scam.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, recently, the IBB allies faulted civil society groups’ call that IBB should be probed on the alleged misappropriation of $12.4 billion oil windfall during the military dictator’s years in government.
The IBB allies queried the propriety of the white paper of the Okigbo report attached to the civil society’s statement with a question: “It is strange that the Federal Government is receiving documents from civil society when same document was declared missing by the Obasanjo administration. Couldn’t it be that the civil society stole the document?”
In a full page newspaper advertisement in a national daily today, where the IBB loyalties published the full text of their press conference, they also queried the rationale behind the civil groups’ call for the probe of IBB’s alleged $12.4 billion oil windfall when nothing was said of Obasanjo’s $16 billion power scam.
“It beats our imagination why this group which we are part of are using this particular time and moment to petition the Federal Government. It was unanimously resolved that we should point our searchlight on all corrupt governments in Nigeria. We only read on the pages of newspapers that the government should probe IBB on the so-called oil windfall, the loyalties wrote in the advertorial.
They dissociated themselves from the call for the probe of IBB, describing it as having a selfish, ethnic and sentimental motive.
The IBB allies were represented by Barrister Salisu Mohammed of Civil Society Movement for Justice and Freedom; Comrade Chukwu Nwabueze of Movement for Freedom and Equal Rights and Barrister Abiodun Akanbi of Human Rights Action Network.
Other groups include: Social Rights Advancement Projects led by Comrade Nasiru Dalti; Transparency Network of Nigeria led by Alhaji Saleh Mamman and Good Governance Coalition under Engr. Umar Farouk Al Hassan. All the leaders of the six groups signed the press statement.

Great move. What about Lagos and other parts of the country.

While I am not against inviting investors to help upgrade the economy. I just hope these agreements they make are sensible and considerate, so they don't sell the bread/livelyhood of future generations.

This is why it is rather important to empower the citizens or persuade the empowered to invest in their own country.
