itsdumebi:
Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-rufai has stated that former president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan disbursed the N2 billion ecological funds among PDP states only, ignoring ACN and other party states in the country in 2013.

El-rufai made the allegation while speaking to newsmen In Abuja on Thursday, after the National Economic Council meeting (NEC).

In his words:

“The committee established beyond all doubts that in 2013, the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan gave N2bn to certain states of the federation but excluded other states.The states that got it were all PDP states and states of other parties that were sympathetic to the PDP like Labour Party in Ondo and APGA in Anambra state. 19 states and the FCT did not get the N2bn from the ecological fund. These states are Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Borno, Edo, Ekiti, Nassarawa, Niger, Ogun, Imo, Jigawa, Kano, Kwara and Lagos. Others are Osun, Oyo, Rivers, Sokoto, Yobe, Zamfara and the federal capital territory"

The petite governor further added;

“So, essentially what President Goodluck Jonathan did was to take N2bn each from the ecological fund and give to some PDP states.Any PDP state that was not his friend like Kano and Kwara didn’t get it. And all the other opposition party, like ACN state, got nothing… no ANPP state got anything.

Did you just conveniently omitted the part in the article that said: "Any PDP state that was not his friend like Kano and Kwara didn’t get it." Or was it an innocent oversight?

Jigawa State Governor, Lamido was at war with Jonathan. Rivers State Governor, Amaechi was at war with Jonathan. Kwara State Governor, Ahmed and his puppet master, Saraki were at war with Jonathan. They automatically didn't qualified for the N2b largesse even though they were back then PDP States. You can add Niger and Kano to that bolded list of yours. Same logic applies.

Did you omit the part where I said that the Ecological fund was not meant to be shared by the 36 states like a federal allocation but to states prone to erosion and land slides? There was nothing to share oga, everyother thing that looks like politics to you isn't or wasn't.

Of course I omitted that part where you said Ecological Fund was NOT meant to be shared by 36 States because you were wrong. I left it so you could correct yourself. Unfortunately, you didn't.

Anyway, FYI, Ecological Fund was essentially created to ensure that adequate provisions are made to address the serious ecological and environmental problems facing the nation be it flood, coastal soil erosion, desertification, drought and general pollution issues. Every single state in Nigeria is prone to these problems.

Again, there are funds to be shared as against your assumption. The revised sharing formula is FGN - 1%, States - 0.72% and LGAs - .60%.

So, you're still either playing politics or you're innocently ignorant of the essence of the Ecological Fund as established by Federation Account Act 1981. Go check it out.

Later you will tell us about Buhari and how he shared bail out funds

I don't need to because you already know about that and how Buhari was fair to all irrespective of party affiliation. But in case you don't, go do little research and come back, then we can do logical comparison if you want.

deceptively false ,it is food prepared and served only for the gullible minded

Actually it is true. Let States that received the N2b back then come out and deny it. And why would Rivers, Ekiti, and Akwa Ibom which are PDP States be among the 19 States to be given their own share? To bribe them?

APC is NOT doing what Jonathan did.

Out of 36 States, 19 did not get N2b back in 2013 because Jonathan refused to give them. Now APC is giving those States what was denied them them in 2013. That's righting the wrong done, not doing something wrong.

Please always try to understand a situation properly before passing judgement.

He was appointed by the Central, NEC to be precise, to head the 11-man Ad-hoc committee on management of Ecological Fund. And now the committee just deliver their interim report. Did you even read the article?

And in case you don't know National Executive Council (NEC) includes all the 36 State Governors, CBN and others. So what's wrong with what El-Rufai did or say?

So? Does that negate the fact that the other 17 States, totally not in good relationship with Jonathan administration, were denied their own share?

The fact still remains that some states were denied what was rightfully and constitutionally theirs without any reasonable reasons other than politics.

you that is fighting for ecological fund for governors, have you asked what has happened to all the billions that have been shared since and still many states are owing salaries the bail out funds and the Paris club funds?
bros abeg park well
the funds were shared then for states that had critical ecology problems.

that was how the same apc governors forced jonathan to share all the sovereign wealth fund.
the fact still remains that not all the PDP state got the money so it wasn't a deliberate ploy.

This is it. Nigeria economic situation is actually caused by corruption and mismanagement, poor planning and lack of will to plan for the future.

Most Nigerian youths lack the capacity to build from within - create wealth.

We wont be talking about Jonathan did this or that if we want to improve change our orientation to do right and create wealth.

If economy boomed, we had a president not always abroad for treatment, people admittedly had a better life...and yet they said GEJ was corrupt.
They know they messed up bringing a mummy to power, but they want to save face.

Fortunately both families of wailers and zombies suffer the economic hardship together.
Only difference is that most wailers expected the mess & prepared better. For example yours truly suspended certain investment expecting economic policies that will be bad for economy and currency. And Buhari did not disappoint. grin cheesy

Nbote, you were wrong and El-Rufai was right. I am not a fan of El-Rufai but he told the truth in this instance.

I am surprised that you did not know that GEJ actually gave N2 billion each from the ecological fund to "only friendly PDP states". Some Governors who were denied their rights even complained at the time and the media reported it. The Governors of states that were not paid by GEJ did not keep quite. You could google the story.

And for your information, contrary to your comment, only disbursements such as FAAC allocation, excess crude, refunds, etc involve states' meeting on a monthly basis. Disbursement of ecological fund does not require any meeting; that was why it was easy for Jonathan to refuse to pay some states and cheated them by that action...

I'm quite aware of d ecological fund disbursement and I'm assuming U know as well as I know what d fund is supposed to be for.. State governors are fond of always asking for everything to b shared whether dey are in need of it or not.. Anyway here's a link u shld go thru. Ekiti and Akwa ibom states didnt get d funds despite being one of d vocal supporters of d govt at d tym.. I think Akwa Ibom was even part of d protesting states den so what's ur point?

No, the funds wasn't share to States that had ecological issues. It was rather shared to states that were friendly to Jonathan. But if you insist I'll like you to tell me what ecological problems those states had in 2013.

I believe you don't fully understand what Ecological Fund is all about. I'm advising you go read the 1981 Act.

About the bailouts and Paris Club, you need to petition your state Governor so he can give account. FGN have little or no power to query state finances.

I'm sorry to break it to you but nobody shared Nigeria Sovereign Wealth Fund what was shared is the ECA. That issue has been settled. If the custodian of the fund is stealing it behind the shareholders, are you suggesting they should keep watching the custodian as he steals all the funds?

Somethings are just indefensible.
