Akinjide Attacks Buhari for Truncating Lagos Metroline Project!

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), has come under fresh attack for his decision to terminate the Lagos metro line project initiated by the Alhaji Lateef Jakande administration to ease traffic in the metropolis.

The Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ms. Jumoke Akinjide, said the former Head of State truncated the opportunity of a free flow of traffic within the metropolis and by extension, the economic growth of the South-west because of his hatred for the region and his determination to see its growth retarded.

She said the countries that were no where near the growth attained by the South-west when the APC presidential candidate stopped its metro line project had since advanced to become world economic powers, insisting that rather than advance the course of the South-west to realise its potential to springboard the nation to a world economic power status, the maximum ruler, she said, however opted to pay a $500 million fine for breaching the agreement guiding the rail project execution to ensure the rail project dream was not realised.

[b]She said the Lagos metro rail project was designed by the Jakande government to facilitate transportation within Lagos and surroundings, but was terminated when Buhari military regime took over in December, I983, thus making the country to forfeit a whopping $60 million, which was part of the loan that had been paid by the Jakande administration before Buhari toppled the civilian government.

The minister who spoke in Abuja on Monday, held Buhari responsible for the unending traffic problems in Lagos, the seat of Nigeria’s economy, submitting that he succeeded in setting the South-west back in terms of judicious time wasted to gridlock and also employment opportunities that the rail project would have provided for the people.

“It could not be imagined the kind of hatred Buhari has for the South-west that could have made him dashed the hope of the government that initiated the rail project which was going on smoothly and on schedule before he forced himself to power,” she lamented.

In her projection, the project would have been completed on time if not for General Buhari’s coup and the transportation nightmare Lagosians face today would not have existed.

“The visionary Jakande administration had concluded all the plans to finance the project, putting everything in place for its successful execution. My father provided the legal framework in his capacity as the Attorney –General at the time, and the state government had deposited $50million after securing a $450 million loan at six per cent fixed interest rate for 25 years.

“At the time the project was cancelled the government had paid part of the loan and therefore had no worry about financing the project. But Buhari stopped the project and went ahead to pay another $500million, which was almost enough to complete the project, as fine to the foreign company handling the project for terminating the contract.”[/b]

Describing the APC presidential candidate as a sworn enemy of the South-west, the minister said: “I don’t see the reason some Yorubas would still gang up with this man to further rip us off.

He has never done us any good and he can never do us any good. He had his opportunity to show us love, he never did, instead he humiliated our leaders and detained them for no just cause, yet some people want us to embrace such enemy because of their own selfish interest. Buhari is not new to failure, he will fail again,” she submitted.

The hype about Buhari is his past records.
This too is part of it.

And "progressives", before you shout "propaganda", please put a call to your vision-less, clueless, myopic and bigotic messiah and ask him why he canceled it.

To all real Progressives, please keep the light burning!
Keep educating th gullible.
Victory is assured.
Let us consolidate the powerful gains of the las four years.

And please, don't get into any fight with any "progressive".

It is pointless, arguing with the blind about the colour of an electric bulb.
Cheers to all.

For when we were yet without strength, in due
time Christ died for the ungodly.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet
peradventure for a good man some would even dare
to die.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
we shall be saved from wrath through him.
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled
to God by the death of his Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through
our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received
the atonement.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the
world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon
all men, for that all have sinned:
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is
not imputed when there is no law.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses,
even over them that had not sinned after the
similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure
of him that was to come.
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For
if through the offence of one many be dead, much
more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is
by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the
gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation,
but the free gift is of many offences unto
justification.
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one;
much more they which receive abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ.)
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment
came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the
righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men
unto justification of life.
For as by one man's disobedience many were
made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many
be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might
abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much
more abound:
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so
might grace reign through righteousness unto
eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

That Buhari guy comes off as a sketchy person.

Claiming to have not perpetrated corruption only makes him suspect much more plus the fact that he wants to 'fight' corruption yet he's dining with and hoping to assume the seat of power with the help of the type of folks he wants to 'fight'? How contradictory!

I foresee a fight against corruption targeted at members of other parties and not the renowned harbingers of corrupt practices in his party.

To me, Buhari was just so good that he must have covered his tracks and footprints of corruption.

If GMB did this to SW, then he's callous. I can't imagine something of this magnitude could be "Ethnicized". Isn't that why we aint progressing as a nation?
BTW, WHAT IS PROGRESSIVE ABOUT BUHARI if he did this? Why are we now calling him Progressive?

And GMB is asking for my Vote in SW!!!
And someone would be shouting CHANGE and PROGRESSIVE for my ear.

So this guys in Aso rock have us in mind. They seem to care about our daily hardship. They feel concerned about the gridlocks we face in traffic. Everybody know that Lagos is congested even a toddler. I won't extenuate the fact that its a heartless decision to cancel such a beneficial project even within such a short military regime. After all, his reason was succinctly stated. What I will emphasize however is how it has being impossible for the PDP to show such empathy on Lagosians in d new millenium having fully comprehended our untold hardships. To further aggravate the situation, the clueless president has done nothing to better our life by 1 bit and yet a jobless assistant minister is ranting on nothingness. Show me what GEJ has done in Lagos that pacifies the problems we face. This man is an alien, he is a disgrace to the Yoruba race. He didn't mention the sharp development the state has recorded unassisted. GMB till GEJ wakes up from cluelessness. CHANGE is tantamount to a new Nigeria.
