something their brother couldn't do for them. now an Hausa man want to do it for them but they choose to remove it so that in 2019 they will say he has not done anything for them and as such, he shouldn't be voted again.
Now Nigeria has a President. we now see reason why baba insisted that he must see details of the budget before he sign it.
enemies of Nigeria progress done enter trouble as long as baba is in charge.
they have shot their ration already, I don't even see their hating stop Buhari in 2019

Okay Mr know all....can you then show us evidence that's wasn't in the budget? Until you are able to prove to us that the project was actually not in the budget then we can believe you...

No need asking him/her to show us. I dont blame their leaders at all. They are birds of the same feather.

Buhari fought for them when their leaders didnt and they are here shouting propaganda.

Their leaders must have known they are bunch of ingrates

Where are the wailers that wailed because PMB insisted on seeing the details before signing the budget?

So SS senators (who unfortunately are mostly PDP members) hate PMB/APC to the point it blinded them not to see the impact of removing the rail line project to the region?

I weep for my leaders, how can they be that myopic?

ignorance at its best! Why didn't APC senators from Ondo, Ogun, Lagos vote for the project??
Why didn't they convince APC senators in appropriation committee to fund the project??

They are all PDP senators. They wanted the Lagos-Calabar rail project out so that they can discredit Amaechi by saying he overlooked the Niger Delta. Their plan is to paint APC as a party that hates Niger Delta.

Their hate for Amaechi will kill all of them.

Was it not suppose to end/start from the Lagos end and still pass through some south west states like Ogun and Ondo states too?

A few days to the last re-run election in Rivers, Amaechi came on air in PH and talked briefly about the Lagos-Calabar rail project and its benefits for the NDelta region. How it was going to commence shortly and create employment. He talked with glee how APC-led FG planned to employ about 500,000 NDelta youths through that alone.

We know that almost all NDelta Senators and HoR members are PDP, and they arent happy that another party is planning to achieve what they couldn't, so they omitted it so as to blame APC in future.

I know how politcs is played in NDelta, even when detrimental to collective good. This my post isnt far from the truth.


so ameachi who cancelled NDelta university is now be clained by you people that he so love the region to yge extent he want lagoscalabar rail way.



APC should try another lie

Yours, right?

Who talks about funding a project that is not in the budget?

Who would you expect to protect the interest of the SS, SW senators, right?

The SS needs that project more and it behoves the SS senators to push for it.

Let me use Rivers state as an example. If a politician who supports APC live in a neighbourhood, the PDP govt would tar roads in the sorrounding neighbourhoods and refuse to work in that neighbourhood. They will distribute transfomers and wouldn't give one to that neighbourhood. Every form of governance will skip them because of that politician.

But what they fail to understand is that the politician does not necessarily feel the pinch as he already has SUVs to drive on the bad roads and a Lister generator at home for electricity. They are simply undoing the common man.

This is another bullshit, tell me the area this happened

Shut da fuc k up!
Can't you read and comprehend well?
Its stated clearly that Niger Delta senators didn't talk when Lagos-Calabar rail project was removed but but the northern senators voted for the inclusion of Lagos-Kano.
This means the north are serious with developing their region on that matter. So don't just blame the north for what they might not have hand in.
I m not a northerner. Just a fighter for what is right.
The southern senators better come and tell us the reason why they didn't include the Lagos-Calabar rail project.

When will buhari stop propaganda, this story was pre plan hence he said he want to see details before signing the budget. may while people are enjoying change but still waiting for change dole.

Propaganda or not, Nigeria first before any party, If for 16 years PDP failed why not see if APC will archive it. I think one day Buhari will go, we will be left with ourselves.

It is very pathetic and annoying that we have senators from Niger Delta and they allowed this injustice to be done to our region by thier Saraki loving senators.

We all know that almost all the senators from Niger Delta are PDP and are those who voted Saraki to be Senate president.

Yet this same senators could not fight for thier people to ensure a rail dat will benefit thier region is retained. They were asleep in the senate when Kano Senators ensured Lagos Kano rail is retained.

I weep for my senators and house of rep members. They are disgrace. They dont represent our people. They represent themselves. I am ashame of them.

You will be suprise many of them were not aware it was removed. Our Niger Delta Senators were busy flexing in Abuja, while nothern senators were busy working 4 thier people. Where was Senator Ben Bruce the twitter Senator? He needs to tweet about this.

Be decieving yourself there,lagos - kano rail was not tampered with and you and i knows that Lagos to Abuja-kaduna-kano is more important to Lagos than Lagos to cross river,you see all the lies against the person of buhari is gradually coming to the fore, no wonder our south east and the south south is still where we are today,let's keep dreaming and hating bro,while those that are doing the needful are busy doing so.
