Saying that †ђξ President 'solicited' for †ђξ 'church gift' in my own opinion is preposterous yet you can not rule out †ђξ fact that Otuoke got †ђξ church because of †ђξ President! †ђξ corporate social responsibility story of Abati here doesn't hold any water.how come,amoung all †ђξ states †ђξ Construction company has been working,it was †ђξ President's State,town and even village that 'qualified' for †ђξ CSR? †ђξ attempt to bring in †ђξ Abuja millenium park into †ђξ story is also damning.Do you know of any of our Presidents who came from Abuja? Abuja is a neutral ground,†ђξ millenium park is a gift with neutral intentions,a gift to Nigeria while I can't say †ђξ same for †ђξ Otuoke gift. Knowing †ђξ tribalistic and nepotic disposition of Nigerians to developmental projects/issues, I believe GEJ should have declined †ђξ gift. And its not as if †ђξ CAN are saints either! 1 Like |

@ OP, the point for me is The president solicited and got by his own admission or does he talk before he thinks? no politician is a saint but our pressy is in a class of his own - a power drunk megalomaniac |

What exactly is wrong with that? Even if the President built the Church by himself, i see nothing wrong in that. People should stop being silly. 2 Likes |

Solicited church gift is preposterous yet he should have declined it is contradictory. @Topic Yes indeed this CSR is controversial but Goodluck Jonathan can't be blamed in anyway for this after all he isn't the only member of his community. Besides you never know the real intentions of the donors so for all the hypocrites and ignoramuses criticizing without facts or reasonable judgment go get yourselves a life. |

The president has made it clear that the church is not for him or his family rather the Anglican church and the community @large.what else do yu want to hear? Am beginning to dislike CAN and this their constant and baseless opposition to the presidency,truly let's give GEJ some space,making Nigeria great is a collective responsiblity. |

church, shrine or whatever that was built should not be an issue,does the church belong to GEJ or not ACN should criticize and attack the waste in the economy and not to make comments on things that are not of value opposition wise they ACN does not know how to function as an opposition party |

Point is what do you classify as Corporate Social Responsiblity (CSR)? I thiink, the donating company is at liberty to choose whatever projects that suits them and sees it to completion. Their choice of renovating a church in a community where the President hails from is their perogative, although there's that tendency of scoring a point with the President that will yield greater deals in the future. Did the president err by commending the company publicly? Yes asthe motive is very clear Is it an impeachable offence? Most definitely no Is the opposition just raising false air? Well...politics is politics 1 Like |

So y the foul cry for a gift to church?. Why did u bring mosque into this,however, this is different cos it was not donated to him by a contractor or an individual but as u ve said was built by the state government..this matter is not because it is a church or anything but cos Goodluck accept it as a donation from a firm that has benefited from its regime as both a governor and a president..come to think of it, y was it placed in his home town?..cmon.is it d only town whose church needs renovation..a sane person will knw that the firm is trying to get into his good book..d firm should has donated it d town and not involving the president |

It is a fact that the community got the Church by the influence of the President. It is also a fact the cost of the Church would be transferred indirectly to the taxpayer via inflation of contract cost. We should stop deceiving ourselves, this is a case of "I rob ya back, you rob mine". The President should just apologise to the nation and let's move on. |

When we begin to see things in their real color, we will begin to make progress. Going by the provisions of the Code of Conduct Act, the President committed an impeachable offence. Abati's defence is an after-thought because the President had already admitted calling for the building of a church since the old one is not beffitting of a President's place of worship.Its the duty of the opposition to coNstantly keep the president in check and the ACN is doing that very well. 1 Like |

The difference between newly built church and renovation of an old church is crystal clear, exaggerating issues is it part of acn manifesto? Acn lied that it was a new chuch. Otueke village is part of Nigeria, i dont understand why people are whining. The enemies 'ndi ufu obi' prefare the construction company to carry out such renovation work on an Italian church not to Otueke village church,what a shame. All these super arrogant critics should know that impeaching the president or demolition of the church is out of the question. |
Re: Reuben Abati's Response To Otuoke Community Church Gift To GEJ by baslone: 11:46am On Apr 05, 2012 |
We are simply just playing with words!!! Any future contract bid by Gitto Construzioni General will never be turned down no matter how inflated the deal is. And this is always going to be until this regime is over. A bribe will always a bribe! Nice move- Gitto Construzioni- NO DULLING FOR NAIJA!!!! 1 Like |

I say the issue should be followed-up to a logical conclusion. Who cares what Rueben Abati says when what GEJ said was direct on TV, heard and seen by millions. If we say that this is not a case of corruption, we might as well make corruption legal in Nigeria. |
