Mahatma Ghandi:

I read that a private company is responsible for providing the cars though I think is some sort of sponsorship or so,I no know sha,about the hiring and firing I tow your line GEJ should just give us good roads,electricity and free education and watch nigerians defend and publicise him,I thought he would have learnt from oshiomole but from what am reading this dude is not gonna give his propaganda of lies anytime soon

Mr Mahatma Ghandi, it is an insult on good governance to compare Oshiomhole with GEJ. GEJ has done extraordinarily well in just one year in office. His reforms are everywhere. His zero tolerance to corruption is remarkable. His achievements in infrastructure development are evident. and I will make bold to recall some of them accordingly.

In roads, GEJ has either started, awarded, undertaking or completed some of these roads projects. , Zaria-Funtua-Gusau expressway covering over 101 km, , Oshodi-Apapa with expansion and drainage works,  dedicated bridge frm liverpool roundabout to Tin can ports, trailer park, Dualisation  of Ibadan -Ilorin, ENUGU-Onitsha, completion of OWERRI -Onitsha,    9th mile, ongoing reconstruction of Benin-Ore-Sagamu highway measuring over 265 km, Kano-Maidugri Dualisation.

dedeike: I know that so many of you are so obsessed with blackmailing this government so no matter the efforts to tell you the truth, it will not deter you from embracing falsehood.
It has been said time and time again that no cars were bought but some idiots will continue to hold unto the falsehood as marketed by the Sahara SHOPRITE of lies.
It's more ridiculous that otherwise educated men still fall for the dumbest and lamest story being spread around.
I didn't even bother to read further when I saw in that useless publication that 120 other exotic cars including Hinda and Toyota were purchased from coscharis.
Even a toddler knows that coscharis deals more with BMW and German cars. And if govt is to buy exotic Honda or Toyota cars, they will surely go to Honda place or Toyota.
So I wasn't surprised the next day when govt came out with a strong denial. I always knew the report was fake.

Dr. Doyin Okupe resumed yesterday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja as the Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to President Goodluck Jonathan.

His main duty will be to act as the liaison between the President and the Public.

Dr. Okupe, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief, was the Special Adviser on Media to President Olusegun Obasanjo at the inception of this Republic in 1999.

This Jonathan family are nothing but thieves! With a wife who is now receiving level 17 monthly salary in absentia for a job undone! A glutton of a president eating one billion naira food yearly. You sure need a media spin doctor to savage the disgrace this useless family have heaped upon themselves.

What is the most commonly used word in nairaland?
could it be the word Retardeen?
A word I believe many eat, sleep, laugh, jump and cry with.
Retardeen
If it were a human, I wonder what it will be doing.
Retardeen

Can any thing human be faster than it should be.

Same old people still find their way back into the political scene.

Is this not the same person that was sacked by OBJ many years ago.

He was accused by OBJ of being totally dishonest, who next will it be to parade in the corridors of power.

So what now happen to Dr Abati, after this episode.

Truly shows that no condition is permament.

Please let 2015 come quickly.

Dr. Doyin Okupe needs no appointment to defend the course of good governance. If you've be watching Channels Tv, you would have known how he's been doing that. He's a good man the presidency truly needs. Congrat Dr. Doyin Okupe. More grease to your elbow. God bless Goodluck Jonathan. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. God bless us all.

Sahara Reporters are getting pathetic each day. News meant to inform the masses shouldn't be controversial and implicative. What has Reuben Abati got to do on this if sidelined or not? Why not pass the news and leave any subject rather than liaising with oppositions for cheap traffic.

Guy whether u believe Sahara Reporters or not is immaterial,....they got dir very reliable sources,trust me. Simply wait a few days, u wud get a confirmation frm d Presidency of Okupe's appointment. I vividly remember wen Abati was appointed,....Sahara Reporters broke d news 4 days b4 d Presidency announced it. Infact d Presidency back den,thru Imma Nboro denied it (d poor guy didn't know his head had bin shaved in his absence),....d rest of dt story is history 2day. I remember seeing Okupe on AIT or Channels last month,....and he was talking pro-GEJ,....and in my mind I asked,wats dis guy up to? No I know,....he has simply sold his conscience for a plate of porridge! (...ala Reuben Abati style)

Am so so ashamed of u Dedeike. How can any sane Nigerian claim GEJ has done extraordinarily well? ....d only tin GEJ has done well in more 2yrs of his Presidency is make promises. ....did I hear u say Zaria-Funtua-Gusau rd is an express? I bet u don't even know wia Gusau is. An express is a daul carriage road,at least 2 lanes each on both sides of d road,...pls dt Zaria-Gusau rd is not express! Its a single-lane highway,recently rehabilitated (I drive on dt road every 4thnite,Sokt to Abuja). And Ibadan-Ilorin Express? Sure its express,Obj started d work in 1999,....and 13yrs after (13yrs of uninterrupted PDP Federal Govt),d work work is stil not finished,...just abt 130km stretch of road. I left Sokt 8am ystrday (Saturday) for Ibadan (I drove myself),got 2 Ibadan ard 7:45pm,I drove thru dt road,...for yor education d Ogbomoso-Oyo part of dt road has not bin daulised at all at all! Pls get yor facts right b4 posting fallacy online!!!

I know Oga Madam has "dim patience" - little or no patience.
My biggest surprise had been Abati taking up a job at Aso Rock. This is really rocking his popularity with the progressives! Was it love for money? He is definitely going and ending up the way of Ebino Topsy, Shina Peters and many others, neither here nor there! Zackie.

[quote author=nagoma]

Yes, A bad workman blames his tools. The solution is not in changing the damage control outlets. The president and his Royal household have to stop the blunders and serve the people's interest. I have no sympathy for Obati who must have accumulated some personal loot by now. He can actually leave now, richer in monetary terms but much poorer in public image and respect compared to when he went to work for the clueless government.

Abati is the loser in all these. His reputation as one of the finest columnists has been dragged into the mud, and no amount of acquired wealth can wash it clean. If Abati appreciated self-worth, he should have known that he was bigger than that silly appointment of being the spokesman of a clueless president. It's a demotion for his blooming journalistic career because he will come out of it battered and beaten.
