Buhari should just be a man and apologize to Lagosians. The cancellation is unjustifiable.

Dear General,
It is not only the reason you canceled it, that we want to hear.

We want to hear about the penalty for the breach of the contrast.

Did you pay any penalty?
How much was it?

cool. Buhari stopped the Lagos Metro Rail even when the military Administrator for Lagos State, alerted him a clause in the contract agreement ($60 million metro rail project) that would put the state into debt, if the contract was cancelled unilaterally. His reply to Mudashiru was "I don't care". The fund for the execution of the project which would have given Lagosians an intra-city light train transport system was not coming from Buhari's Supreme Military Council, Buhari, cancelled this project of the state government, without genuine reason but maybe ethnicity (Yoruba Land). Till date no Nigerian city has metro rail. Buhari also stopped all the wonderful projects initiated by Dede Sam Mbakwe in Imo State. Can you call GMB (Buhari) a progressive?

Only a semi literate person will cancel a project he knows nothing about!

A Projects costs 450 million dollars!


50 million Dollars have been paid already to the contractors leaving a Balance of 400 million Dollars


Yet this man went ahead to waste 550 million dollars as penalty and fines to terminate the project instead of paying 400 million USD to complete it

It's pure wickedness, Becos Lagosians and Nigerians are still suffering from that decision!

It's simply unexplainable!










Are Lagosians not suffering from the Yar'Adua/Jonathan's administration decision to cancel the OBJ railway project that dashed the Chinese $250million apart from penalties? How is it different from this?

The federal government at the time couldn't guarantee any more loans at the time because the previous government had borrowed beyond reasoning to maintain the economy and their lifestyles as a result of falling oil prices.

All those telling lies of $ 500 million should bury their heads in shame.

Why are you deceiving ursef
(Oba of Lagos, Oba Akiolu recently rightly blamed General Mohammadu Buhari for this act of wickedness on the part of his Government 1983-1985) Needless to say, the cancellation resulted in Court Case for breach of Contract and cost the State Billions of Naira. The 600 Million Naira Project would probably cost 600 Billion today and all hope had been lost until the Obasanjo Federal Government launched the still proposed Lagos Mega-City Project which hopefully would assist the present governor Governor Fashola to realise his dream of transforming Lagos into a commuters' delight. Better late than never.

How can a loan for such a vital project ever go wrong if is well executed? A capital project with life long benefits. Lagos would have been more refined city by now if such project was undertaken ages ago


It is lack of vision and visoonless leaders are jistcas hood as the talibans.

PDP'S PROPAGANDA WILL SOON CATCH UP WITH THEM, THEIR LIES IS BEGINNING TO BRAINWASH PEOPLE, I WAS DISCUSSING WITH A FRIEND WHO WAS SWEARING WITH HIS LIFE THAT BUHARI WILL ISLAMIZE NIGERIA AND HE IS BEHIND BOKO HARAM,HOW WILL SOMEBODY BE KILLING PEOPLE THAT WILL VOTE FOR HIM?
But for someone like Buhari, killing innocent people to drive home his point is no big deal. The 2011 post election violence by his supporters which he silently endorsed, his name been forwarded by Boko haram as their negotiator because he is their grand patron and his numerous threats of blood flowing can attest to this fact, so i am not surprised that your friend refused to be gullible and didn't allow u convince him with your lies. Buhari is a religious fanatic and an extremist, no matter how you try to rebrand him, it won't work. I would rather you hold your peace.

Buhari is economically inept and has no clue how to better the nation.

All his decisions on the economy have been disastrous.

In October 2006, the Olusegun Obasanjo administration signed an US $8.3 billion contract with the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), for the first phase of the rail modernisation project. That project, a 1,315 km Lagos-Abuja-Kano double-track standard gauge rail corridor, with a maximum speed of 150 km an hour, was to flag off a 25-year long rail modernisation project.

But no sooner had the Umaru Yar’Adua administration birthed than dissenting voices started thumbing down the project. The clear strategy has been scarecrow tactics: alleged inflation of cost hinting at sleaze, skewed process in the contract award, etc, etc.

Don't mind Buhari. He thinks leadership is gara-gara. Let him know that this is democracy and no longer military rule o.
Meanwhile somebody should tell Buhari that affidavit is not the same thing as academic qualification.
