Jonathan’s Land Grab An “abuse Of Office, Corruption” – APC by wola44: 4:07pm On Feb 25, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to apologise to Nigerians over alleged acquisition of 90.04 hectares of land in the Aviation Village, Abuja for farming.

In a statement issued in London yesterday, by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the defence that the land was meant for farming, which it said, is allowed under the Fifth Schedule Part 1 (Code of Conduct for Public Officers) of the 1999 Constitution, does not hold water.

It stated that the issues involved were beyond the fact that a public officer was legally allowed to engage in farming, adding that the provision quoted by the President’s apologists was a weak and untenable defence. The APC statement read in part: “The Fifth Schedule Part 1(Code of Conduct for Public Officers) of the 1999 Constitution, Section 1 states: ‘a public officer shall not put himself in a position where his personal interest conflicts with his duties and responsibilities.’

But that’s exactly what the President did by leveraging his high office to grab a prime land in

Abuja. Would Goodluck Jonathan have been given 90.04 hectares of such a prime land were he not a sitting President?

It also accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Bala Mohammed, of acquiring 40.40 hectares of land in Abuja, for farming.

Blasting those defending the land acquisition, APC said: “Those pushing this kind of argument are insulting Nigerian. It is also important to point out that the Aviation Village, under the Abuja Master plan, is meant only for aviation-related activities and not farming. The president knew this, yet he went ahead to apply and was allocated land for farming in the Aviation Village.” (The Sun)

See pot calling kettle black. Is this up to the over 30 km land grabbing Tinubu has done in Ibeju Lekki? I wonder what would happen if APC were to win. God forbid.
