NGF crisis was planned -Aregbesola 2013-07-05 23:00:42 Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has said that the crisis in the Nigeria Governors' Forum was orchestrated. Aregbesola spoke while responding to questions during his visit to PUNCH Place, headquarters of PUNCH Nigeria Limited, on Friday. He said the scenario that played out after the NGF election was premeditated. He said, "Some people deliberately wanted to discredit a process that had been proven to be very organised, peaceful and without rancour. "It takes two to tango and the best position is not neutrality. Look, let's call a spade what it is. I won't say more because I am a principal actor in the entire thing. "We all know what was wrong but I think we are timid to say it. We cannot use an orchestrated and deliberate smear to castigate all governors. We all know the interest behind what happened. If we are not courageous enough to apportion blame, let's be quiet. I rest my case." The governor said the South-West had not reneged on its pursuit for federalism. He, however, regretted that he had been accused of infringing on the constitution in his campaign of federalism, adding, "I am a strong advocate of federalism." He also reiterated his call for regional integration in the South-West, especially in addressing issues of common interest. He said, "A lot of things would be non-issues if addressed on a regional basis. For instance, the issue of crime control and security is so paramount that all of us are investing in security surveillance, aerial space surveillance to eliminate opportunistic attacks. "These people know that they can move easily within a region but with such joint effort, it will not be possible. Besides, it will cost a lesser amount." On the issue of the state government owning a helicopter despite its meagre resources, Aregbesola said he did not see anything frivolous about it. He explained that although the idea was dropped after it could not sail through, the state had opted for it to boost its response to emergencies and security-related issues. "We expected that with this, we should be able to rescue, support and intervene if there is an emergency. "We began by investing in an alert system that notifies the appropriate quarters in seconds when there is an emergency or a threat. We thought that the helicopter service would complement this by providing immediate help instead of going through the roads and taking hours to reach the point where help is needed," he said. Aregbesola said the Osun N4bn cargo airport project was in keeping with his administration's goal of grooming its economy to become a key commercial hub. He said, "We are still building an economy that will be privately owned. We need to banish poverty by empowering Nigerians to earn their sustenance. "Having the cargo airport in Osun is important because it will be an incentive to investors instead of the unattractive roads and the danger they portend. "Osun is the heartland of 33million Yoruba people in the world. Imagine 200,000 visitors coming to Osun in a year and spending $I,000 each, that is $200m. It will amortise the investment on the airport. "We said at the outset that we will run an unusual government. Having an airport in Osun should not even be a problem because it had the first airstrip in Nigeria according to history." He also said that the state had boosted its agricultural sector through its periodic feeding of pupils. http://mobile.punchng.com/output.php?link=http://www.punchng.com/news/ngf-crisis-was-planned-aregbesola/ 2 Likes |

well, it is disheartening and absurd to hear such a comment from a distinguished cohesive apparatus of a state. Everyone should know that every thing happening in the NGF scenerio is not planned. It will be lugubrious to think that all these jobs being lost and ministerial nominees cancelled as a result of this crisis is a mere soap-opera. The presidency and other parties involved should please embrace peace and tranquility to avoid BLOODSHED and stop acting insouciant. |

Nigerian Youths wake up, We have no other country except Nigeria, We have been suffering in silence while our Leaders put our future in their bank accounts. How can we remain like this? How can a youth go to school and suffered to graduate at the end no job. You are almost 40 and still your future is as bleak as a dark room. Did your parents send you to school to sit at home because our Government have failed us. Let us come out one day and say No. We must not remain like this, we cannot all travel abroad to find a better life, our better life is here in our country. We have the money, oil and resources but only a selected few have continue to suck it dry why we keep believing God for a change, wake up now I challenge you. We need 500,000 youths in each of the 36states to challenge the Government. We say NO, we need rebuild this nation, we will vacate those who stand on our way as they are considered the enemy. A man cannot have billions of naira while millions of youths roam the streets every day looking for daily bread. Our young men must not all be kidnappers, our young girls must not all be prostitutes. Get Ready I tell you. The time has come for us to react, the only way our Government listens is violence, they have shown it to the Niger delta militants and now they are planning to show it to the boko haram..whereas a simple gesture of N20,000 per month to the unemployed was rejected and you pay militants N75,000 per month. How much do they pay as minimum wage? How much do they pay to elected officers, we are going to revolt. Nigeria will burn to be rebuilt again like Libya, Iraq, Egypt and Tunisia...please spread this message unless you want to die in poverty in a country where God has destined all of us to be happy and prosperous...!!!pls join the group on facebook tagged "nigerian youths movement for revolution" Pls send this msg to all ur forum, groups on facebook, 2go, whatsapp, twitter, and social messengers, cos anytin can happen o!!! The time is right for us all to say no bad governance who take the youths for grante 4 Likes |

It is obvious because some people (Undemocratic fee-dee-fee elements) have declared the winner of the election before the election,so the result of the election doesn't change anything to them |
