Majority of the major players in PDP between 1999 and 2010 are the promoters and movers of APC, including the President and Vice of 1999-07, the 3 Former PDP National Chairmen, National PDP Secretaries etc. Abeg no even go there!!! Meanwhile, Sen Danjuma Goje was the Minister of state for Power during Obj's first term, he's now an APC strongman. We should ask him to explain about this Egbema power issue.

Whynotthetruth:




The people in charge when that guy worked there and looted power ministry dry are the ones bankrolling and leading buhari campaigns now...GeJ just shrugged all of them off...he's bound to move faster now as buhari has inherited all the burdens and baggage...


If agric minister lied; why is our food import cost coming down?...Why didn't price of goods eg rice Skyrocket during Xmas as usual?...Why are dangote, olam, etc investing aggressively in that sector?...Why are new silos being built and stocked speedily?... Why is Kwankwanso(APC governor) naming an irrigation scheme after the minister while acknowledging his achievements under GEJ?...Obiagelliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

obailala:


Was Gen Buhari ever in PDP?... NO!
Was Prof Osinbajo ever in PDP?... NO!

Please let's leave all these talk about "APC major players were once in PDP so therefore APC government must be the same as PDP." That is a fallacious statement. In every organisation or gathering, what matters most is the character of the person at the top. When Prof. Dora Akunyili was appointed the head of NAFDAC in April 2001, she didn't have to sack everyone previously working at the agency. But her personal zeal, focus and militantly uncompromising stance forced everyone within the formally corrupt and impotent organisation to sit up and do the right thing. I repeat and I repeat again, what matters most is the person at the top.

If you place people like Stella Oduah or Bode George or Amaechi or even Tinubu under the authority of a Gen Buhari, they would act accordingly. The last time I checked, no matter the antecedents of the individuals in APC are, what matters most is the person at the top.

Obiagelli:


People like labran maku? That's visited the site and claimed the turbines are working?
How much did you buy chicken in December 2013 and 2014?
Same for oil, pepper and tomatoes. Please respond.

barcanista:
You see Obiagelli we have to be sincere with ourselves. Jonathan is so concerned about the said plant that is why he sent the OP and his team to work on it. We can deduce that the President is committed to get things fix. Let me remind you that few days ago he commissioned the fixed power plant in Ogun State that was "fraudulently" commissioned by Obj in 2006. You'all shouted him down but today we are talking about another failed plant of Obasanjo. Like I said let us be sincere.

Whynotthetruth:



Sure, they were arrested for questioning? Are they still in custody?...So doesn't the police have right to arrest and question pressmen when our sovereignty or security is threatened by their reportage? Especially given that it is an opposition newspaper that wants ruling government out of power?...

What's the crime of Tai Solarin under buhari?...Distributing fliers on street...
What was Awolowo's crime to have buhari station soldiers before his compound 24/7 during his 20months reign?
Is he the only military we ever had? why were others not that harsh, intimidating, reckless and heartless?

Now that it has turned out to be Egbema in Imo state, what do you say?
Look before you leap.

Owing to her strong stance, the formally corrupt and impotent organisation became very efficient. I repeat and I repeat again, what matters most is the nature of the person at the top. Even though Prof Dora may be gone today (God bless her soul), we still have thousands of Dora's in Nigeria today who are capable of delivering if only the oga at the top would permit them to.

If you place people like Stella Oduah or Bode George or Amaechi or even Tinubu under the authority of a Gen Buhari, they would act accordingly and you would be surprised at how efficient these same set of thieves can be. The last time I checked, no matter the antecedents of the individuals in APC, what matters most is the integrity and courage of the person at the top.

The is mere propaganda, to rubbish the hard work the government has done in the power sector. It's really sad that people harbor such mischief in their hearts. The power plant has neither been commissioned or mentioned anywhere as generating power to the national grid. Obviously, the government cannot build all the power plants at the same time but from the pictures shown, serious work has been carried out and further investigation reveals that the plant has also be slated for privatization and a preferred bidder has been selected with an agreed price of $415,075,000. If no serious work is on ground I don't think any firm will bid for the plant.
There is so much misinformation and everyone needs to do a second check to confirm any information out there because politicians are so desperate to get votes by whatever mean. we really need to be careful. I really don't know the intention of the poster seriously.

You work with the largest gas turbine producers who are supplying equipment to power plants, yet you say nothing is happening?

Omo re Kan o si ninu ibon,le hin ko dun pau. PDP from head to toe is full of deceit and lies. same way 16billion dollar went the drain all in the name of power.
A child of 16years failed to crawl,not to talk of stand on his own, walk,run and fly like other sane nation of the world.
I wonder our sins for God to have neglected us like this.

ALL IZZ WELL

Whynotthetruth:





You must be an alien bro...Akunyili got loads of people sacked...Moreso, it is very myopic to compare success in an agency of Akunyili to governance of a COMPLEX state like Nigeria...btw did akunyili succeed same way in Ministerial appointment...Osibanjo was part of tinubu corrupt regime...
If buhari could hold his own as he did in ANPP, CPC etc why is he not in charge in APC now?...All his actons today contradict most of what he stands for or promised in the past....
Eg He said he will fight corruption and his party APC came out through Oyegun and contradicted that...
So take it into your head now; buhari cannot control Tinubu not now not ever...you think after funding him; they will leave him to rule and go to bed...wake up bro...

aguiyi:
the egbema youths and their ikwerre counter part are just a bunch of something else. you barely find them in Nigerian universities outside of rivers state so they don't know whats obtainable outside their shores.

even in rivers state higher institutions only a few are outstanding in their classes. they are also very hostile and quick to anger. only a few are not involved in cultism

don't blame them much, their leaders are doing to them what the northern leaders are doing to the northern youths. impoverish them so they can respond to your call anytime and day.

is this a state or federal govt project

9jatriot:


Is arresting journalist part of the democracy you know. At least GMB can hide under the fact that his was a military regime. As for the question if he was the only military regime yet he was harsh, except you do not know your history you would know that all military regimes tried to suppress the press. But your claim that they were jailed for centuries is false, it was only politicians where were convicted to be corrupt that had that lengthy jail term.

GEJ had on at least 3 occasion jailed press men and his is suppose to be a democratically elected government.

Whynotthetruth:



Jailed by Jonathan... get your dictionary and come back again bro...or give me names of the jailed...

Did I say for centuries... keep grappling with straws...
NADECO and such other groups existed under military albeit some intimidations...Under buhari even NANS, ASUU, NMA etc weren't allowed to exist...He's worse than a dictator bro...

You said convicted & jailed only corrupt politicians?...Was Ekwueme corrupt? So why did buhari jail him?
Why didn't buhari jail Gov. Awwal(seemingly most corrupt governor then)but put him under house arrest and released him within 2weeks...What about his ADC Jokolo & emir of 53suitcases?...so much for a general fighting selective corruption abi witch-hunting his perceived enemies in the name of corruption...

obailala:

Wait until he gets to power. Nobody gets to power on his own or by his own strength alone. That is a major principle of attaining power; you have to ride on the wings of others (both good and bad) to get to the top. Just patiently wait until he gets to power before making this your statement again and then we shall know who's really the boss.

As for Prof Dora, you are rather the one who is not seeing the bigger picture. I only cited an example to let you understand that it is possible to cleanse a system without having to kill everybody. Yes she might have sacked a few people, but she didn't sack everyone. There is no organisation which is made up of only saints. You actually need the good and the bad to make progress; what matters most is the ability of the pilot at the top to control the excesses of the bad seed. GEJ obviously cannot control the bad seed, he cant control anyone at all including his own wife. Even Jesus Christ wined and dined with sinners and he even had a Judas amongst his kitchen cabinet. At the end, every one serves a purpose.

9jatriot:


I gave you a link earlier, why all these rhetorics and back and forth. If you claim that GEJ did not arrest them, then Buhari can also claim that he did not arrest the journalist that it was security personnel who did it. If Buhari takes responsibility for their arrest, GEJ should do same in his own case. 33 brief cases, Ekwueme, etc have been dealt with even here on nairaland, use your search button bro. His approach may have been unconventional, but there is no doubt what so ever that the man abhors corruption, stealing or fraud and does not try to give them a new dictionary definition or call any of them "ordinary" or commission projects that are not working.

Whynotthetruth:



Buhari jailed them but in Jonathan; it is normal invitation to police for questions after which you go home...kindly get a dictionary and see the meaning of "jail"...

Buhari said Abacha isn't corrupt and didn't loot the treasury...Hope he's a saint to you bro?

9jatriot:


If people have their newspapers seized from them, taken to the police station and not released, I don't know how else to define arrested. Buhari did not unilaterally put anyone in jail, most cases were tried in special courts called tribunals. Like I said previously incase you missed it, his approach may have been unconventional, but there was no doubt that the man abhorred corruption.

One man says that you cannot say another man is corrupt without providing proof, another man grants him a post humus award. Who is the greater sinner in this case? Every single thing you accuse Buhari of, GEJ has done worse whereas any good GEJ may want to claim to have done GMB has done far better.
