No Regrets Endorsing Fashola For Second Term - Tinubu by Rhino5dm: 8:56pm On Oct 13, 2011
[size=18pt]No regrets endorsing Fashola for second term, says Tinubu[/size]
Lagos – A former Lagos State Governor, Chief Bola Tinubu said on Wednesday that the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) had no regrets giving Gov. Babatunde Fashola a second term ticket.

Tinubu, who lauded Fashola for his achievements in his first term, said the party was proud of him.

“The party has no regrets for endorsing him for a second tenure.

“The governor has been able to turn Lagos into a mega and very friendly city with the meagre resources available in the state,’’ he told a rally of ACN supporters at Onikan Stadium, Lagos.

Tinubu, who is the leader of the party, urged the people to vote en masse for the party’s candidates in the October 22 council polls.

“ACN chairmen and councilors will continue to replicate what had been done at the state level in the councils,’’ he said.

He called for a review of the nation’s revenue allocation formula in a bid to give more money to the councils and states for the development of the grassroots.

Also addressing the rally, Fashola promised more development in the state if ACN candidates were voted into power.

“If you want accelerated development in Lagos State to continue, then ACN is the party to vote for the council seats,’’ he said.

Fashola said his administration would give more assistance to the councils to boost development. (NAN)

is ther supposed to be any room for regrets?
Re: No Regrets Endorsing Fashola For Second Term - Tinubu by Depilot(m): 9:32pm On Oct 13, 2011
First, for this criminal to be stating such at this point in time means that something is up
Second, who gave this criminal the right to pick and chose candidates?
And finally, Lagosians gave Fashola the second term, not this old thief. And Fashola still remains the main reason why other ACN governors were elected during the last elections.

Very soon it will become clear that Tinubu is irrelevant in Lagos state or in Nigeria.

IKEJA— Lagos State Government, Thursday, said it will discontinue the services of two of its tax consultancy firms – Alpha Beta and TAMAC- in revenue collection.

Organised private sector under the auspices of Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, MAN, yesterday, accused the revenue consultants of outrageous lifestyle, describing them as squandering tax-payer’s money.

MAN also accused the consultants of double- standard and encouraging multiple taxes in the state.

The National Joint Tax Board had condemned the use of private consultants in revenue collection by governments, stressing that it does not promote transparency.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Taxation and Revenue, Mr. Bola Shodipo, said government will from next year discontinue with the revenue/tax consultancy system.

He said that the consultants had outlived their usefulness, and their services may no longer be required.

The private revenue/tax consultants were introduced when Tinubu was governor of the state.

Recent reforms carried out by the government, it was gathered had empowered the state Board of Internal Revenue to bring in tax/revenue experts, as its core staff and transfer non-core staff to ministries and other parastatals as part of efforts to raise the internally-generated revenue of the state, which unconfirmed sources was put at over N20 billion monthly.

Until Nigerians take the bull by the horns to do away with these charlatans, Nigeria will continue to remain backward and stagnant.

One thing you fools need to realize is that in politics there is no permanent/loyal supporter, But that doesn't change the fact that some are better than the other, Buhari might not be perfect but he is 100times experienced and smarter than the confused thief in Aso Rock, How i wish he was even a smart thief like the Old Man Obasanjo. If Obama is to rule us, we would still have people that would hate HIM. So as a representative of the foolish pple community and dumb one's, Buhari that i support might not be the messiah, Bt he is waaaaaay berra than our current Eediot.

Buhari would have helped us fight corruption and anybody that wholeheartedly does this would have solved 99% of Nigeria's problem.
Within ourselves, we know Jonathan is eminently incapable of transforming Nigeria. Buhari all the way.

You ended up compounding your foolish act with this gibberish above  . . . worms like you are not fit to label others foolish or eediots . .  .In your confused state , you would have done better professing your love for Tinubu than muddle two individuals with different ideologies together . . .

Do you know how Fashola became a governor in 2007? Did you know Fashola prior to 2006 when Tinubu staked all his reputation, goodwill and resources to sponsor Fashola in 2006?
Where were people like you when Tinubu fought to pave way for Fashola to become the governor in 2007?

Are you expecting all the errors from 1960 to disappear in less than 24 months? It will take a super being to raise back a dead country in less than 24 months. All the man needs is time.
Re: No Regrets Endorsing Fashola For Second Term - Tinubu by PointB: 2:02pm On Oct 14, 2011
Why would he regret making over N 2 Billion Naira extra every month from Lagos treasury? Which thief would regret that? Certainly not Asiwaju Tinubu

Why do you people play maradona all the time? You people are so dishonest it's not even funny.

You lashed out at other people in a thread that's really not about GEJ by claiming that people are trying to rubbish the good things GEJ has done.

Obviously, you know for a fact that GEJ has done something that people are trying to rubbish.

All you need to do or was asked to do is list the good things GEJ has do that people are trying to rubbish.

We are not talking about your 24 months, you said he has done some good things, just list the good things and if you can not, just keep quiet and stop playing your own fellow countrymen for a fool.


Period.

There is no point listing his achievements, these are things you already know.

Don't worry about what I know because I know he's yet to do any damn thing to justify what the Nigerian tax payers are paying him.

I did not make the claim about the good things he has done, you made the claim and the burden remains yours.

Stop playing games, just put you claims where your mouth is and give us your list.

We both know you lied when you made that claim and that's why you are finding it difficult to come up with and answer or any kind of list.

you people really need to stop insulting our intelligence,

over N20b monthly frtom IGR only is N240b annually not including mega bucks from FG allocation to the state and its LGs.
It can only be magre after the Ashiwaju of Area Boys has siphoned the large chunk to himself at the expense of sedated Lagosians.

shows the disdain in which they hold the electorate and teh fact that we have not mobilised, educated and informed ourselves ENOUGH on our rights and the accountability of these people to US.

At the end of the day, it means 450 billion yearly budget to spend on 18 million people, the largest state work force and the largest insftrastructural need in Nigeria.

Now, how do you explain other states with larger or similar budgets with just 4-5 million people and smaller infrastructure demand and not even doing 1/4 of what Lagos state is doing in terms of public administration and infrastructure demand?

Are these states siphoning money too and if they are, where is your fake and manufactured outrage?

You need to mobilize yourself educationally first before you open your mouth to spew ignorance.,

I see that you prefer to compare yourself with the worst performers and claim to be a superstar, hmmm good for you.
is that how you do to your kids, if you have them i.e. if they come 17th in a class of 20, you congratulate them and say at least they are not the last.
Or maybe that is how your parents brought you up to be successful- also by benchmarking your report card with the worst in your classes  shocked
