Bukkyade: grin grin grin grin this attack lion is really hitting hard on the opposition. Why are they scared of him?
When I saw criminal past, I felt Okupe had been convicted of a crime in the past. But when I read down the line, I just found out it was mere investigation. Somebody should remind these Tinubu boys that investigation is not indictment and cannot provide sufficient grounds for the sack of a govt appointee. If investigation were to be indictment, then it means that Tinubu should be the first to be barred from participating in partisan politics. EFCC has previously investigated Tinubu and even included his name in the 2007 indictment list.
Thatnothwitstanding, Tinubu has been investigated for his assets and was arraigned recently on account of his alleged crime. These ACN goons should call Tinubu to order first before asking for the speck in Okupe's eyes.

I seldom respond to piece like this.

If you recall, sometimes last year, Tinubu was tried and acquitted by a competent court of Jurisdiction. Now the question goes: Why is Tinubu's rising profile a treat to goons like you? This same man laid the foundation to the current development in Lagos. Let's even accept the said man is corrupt, but we are seeing the dividend of Governance and the Region (South-west) is relatively peaceful and growing at a steady rate. Mr/Mrs Perfect, do cast the first stone if you are a saint. Let's pray for God's intervention in our Polity and avoid wiping sentiments.

Frustration has started eating up ACN. Loose mouth Lai mohammed has met his senior.
ACN - bloody hypocrites. Lai should advise the ACN's headquarters (Lagos) house of assembly speaker to resign first.

Dividend riddled with debts. Mind you that Lagos is the highest debtor in Nigeria. How are they going to pay? Toll gates springing up everywhere. Soon u will pay tolls to enter ur house. Fines everywhere. If u eat gala 20k, if u drink pure water 20k, if u look 20k, if u talk, laugh or smile while driving 20k. Agbero's collecting part of the payments to settle their debts while hawkers that r not rendering enough revenue go 2 kirikiri.

There was rumour the other that the senate leadership are plotting the exit of George Akume the seating Governor when Dr. criminal okupe stole the acclaimed N200,000,000.00. Now my argumentum ad verecormdiam. The presidency have total of the senate that was why they wanted to use the elements to push George aside because George is a threat to dr. Criminal okus.

I find it extremely difficult to understand President Jonathan Goodluck. Doyin Okupe's record is not a clear one and my President cannot claim ignorance of this. If the President did not know, he should have asked Doyin Okupe why he was booted out of OBJ's government unceremoniously.

Food 4 tot (lolz)

This administration is not interested in hoodwinking Nigerians with the propaganda of fleeting performances, but even within this short period of its existence, and in spite of incessant attacks from certain quarters to frustrate and distract government, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s administration has engaged in concrete and sustainable socio-economic deliverables that will transform the Nigerian society.

We will hereunder highlight just a few of the numerous achievements of this administration in the last 14 months.

Power

• This administration met 10 abandoned NIPP projects and has successfully revitalized all. More importantly they are all within the range of 95-100 % completion stage and are awaiting gas supply for which government has taken very concrete steps to address.
• Government has improved the power generation from under 3000mw in 2011 to 4300 mw by august 2012
• Various communities across Nigeria can attest to the fact that steady power supply is gradually being restored
The NIPP projects are as listed below:
Location Total installed power output
1 IHOVBOR EDO STATE 451 mw
2 OMOTOSHO ONDO STATE 451 mw
3 OLORUNSOGO OGUN STATE 750 mw
4 SAPELE DELTA 451 mw
5 GEREGU KOGI 434 mw
6 EGBEMA IMO STATE 338 mw
7 GBARAIN BAYELSA 225 mw
8 OMOKU RIVERS STATE 225 mw
9 CALABAR CROSS RIVER 561 mw
10 ALAOJI ABIA 1074 mw
TOTAL 4960 mw


Therefore when the 10 NIPP projects are fully on stream, which will be within the next few months the total national generation capacity will not be less than 9000 mw which will be a 200% increase in the generating capacity as compared with the figures for 2011 and the highest ever by any administration since independence.


Agriculture

• Government has elevated the living standards and income of farmers and rural dwellers through the free distribution of several millions of improved seedlings including cotton,sorghum,rice and cassava.
• Today Nigeria is the world’s largest producer of cassava and is on its way to becoming the largest exporter of cassava products globally.
• The agricultural transformations agenda will double cocoa production from its present 250,000mt to 500,000mt /annum by the year 2015.
• The flour millers, who initially resisted the primary directive from government for 3 % local substitution, have since on their own increased the substitution ratio to 20%. For example Gala a UAC product has a substitution ratio of 20 % cassava mix. This has resulted in considerable foreign exchange savings and increased income for farmers and agro- allied processors.
• On the PPP initiative of the Federal Government, foreign investors have invested $40 million in rice production and milling in Taraba state (Feb 2012). This will be the largest rice farm project in Africa.
• The expected production is 300,000 metric tons of rice (which accounts for 15% of the national rice import) while at the same time creating 15,000 jobs.
• This administration is facilitating the establishment of the largest high quality rice processing mills with an overall installed processing capacity of 2 million tons per annum which will also be the largest installed milling capacity in Africa. It will be private sector driven and established in rice producing states.
• Presently however 3 new rice processing mills in Ebonyi, Niger and Kebbi states with combined 90000 tons of milled rice per annum are already completed


Major market infrastructure projects completed within the last 12 months to drive agricultural transformation at the state level.

1. 180 km of rural roads and 77 km of feeder roads completed
2. Establishment of 10 export crop, preservation and conditioning centers located in Kebbi, Kaduna, Cross River, Nassarawa, Gombe and Enugu states
3. Establishment of 8 agro processing centers.
4. Completion of 10 additional silo complexes with total capacity of 550,000 metric tons
5. 100,000 metric tons capacity silos located in Fct, Borno, Zamfara and Kebbi states
6. 25,000 metric tons capacity located in Taraba, Osun, Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Katsina and Sokoto states.

Water supply

Projects completed:

1. Northern Ishan water supply project in Edo state with a plant capacity of 9 million litters per day to serve communities of Uromi, Ubiaja, Ugengu, Ugboha and Igueben, with a total projected population of 500,000 by 2012 at a cost of n2.5billion
2. 10 million liters per day – Mangu water treatment plant at the cost of over n1billion to serve communities of Gindiri and Mangu townships in Plateau state
3. The Federal Government and Benue State Government have completed and commissioned 50 million liters per day capacity the greater Makurdi water supply scheme.

• 1000 hand pumps borehole in 18 states across the six geopolitical zones rehabilitated
• 836 new motorized boreholes completed
• The rehabilitation of Oyan dam in Ogun state at a cost of 650m

Transportation

In the transportation sector government has successfully rehabilitated 3000km out of 3505 km of existing narrow gauge rail lines. The Lagos –Kano corridor will be completed this year, while the Port Harcourt -Maiduguri corridor which has started will be completed in 2013. The all-important Itakpe-Ajaokuta–Warri modern standard gauge line rail lines is nearly complete with the entire tracks 100% laid down. The 2 nd similar standard modern guage lines between Lagos and Ibadan has also been awarded.

Aviation

There is ongoing massive rehabilitation of airports nationwide, and for the first time ever there is 100 % total radar coverage of Nigeria’s airspace .this is the largest radar coverage project in black Africa.

Ports

At the ports, cargo clearing time has been reduced from one month to seven days and is expected to be reduced further to four days within the next few months.This has seriously impacted positively on the business and economic climate within the country.

Infrastructure

In the area of infrastructure this administration’s impact can be felt in all nooks and crannies across the six geopolitical zones of the country as follows:

Projects already commissioned in 2012

• Enugu-Abakaliki road
• Ogoja –junction Ikom road

• 7 traffic census road projects
• 7 road inventory projects
• Renovations of central work shops
• 92 national road rehabilitation projects completed
• 59 zonal intervention projects
• 6 access roads to refineries
• 4 roads under the Nigeria /Niger joint commission for cooperation

Ongoing Projects

• Abuja-lokoja dual carriageway will be completed by this admiration
• Kano-maiduguri dual carriageway will also be completed by this administration
• At then beginning of this administration benin _ore road was almost impassable and it used to take 6-9 hrs to get to lagos .now it takes just 3 three hours.
• Onitsha head bridge –upper iweka junction
• Apapa –oshodi expressway is being rehabilitated
• 9th mile to otukpo –iweata road in benue is being rehabilitated
• Gombe –potiskum road washout
• Auchi-ikene expressway washout
• Biliri highway washout
• Sokoto –ilela washout
• Km 30 onitsha –enugu road washout

Conclusion

With these few highlighted developmental efforts and activities of the government enumerated above, all the fallacies, deceits, misinformation and disinformation about incompetence and non-performance of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration are unfounded not supported by facts on ground and are therefore are outright falsehood.

Irrespective of what the detractors of this administration want the general public to believe, the truth, and indeed the absolute truth, is that this government is alive to its responsibilities, effectively, actively performing and responding to the needs of the Nigerian people.

Irrespective of what the detractors of this administration want the general public to believe, the truth, and indeed the absolute truth, is that this government is alive to its responsibilities, effectively, actively performing and responding to the needs of the Nigerian people.
