No ma'am he has yet to clear my doubt because it will need a long 4 years for my doubt over his administration to be cleared. Meanwhile, we shall watch their transition and follow-up with the government policies. It's a long 4 years...."I hope he succeed though"

Its really hard to take you seriously since you still have tons of threads promoting Buhari and supporting him with all your energy. Then again no one forced these guys to pay attention to you so much. But i have to say you do work hard and write well so maybe you deserve the attention BUT you're totally just like Beaf and Sincere9gerian and where the hell are those guys now anyway?

doctokwus:
Am so glad to see Festus Odimegwu in that list.
This is a real sign that GMB actually wants to transcend sentiments and tribal politics in choosing people to move this nation forward.
Odimegwu for those who do not know apart from being d MD of Nigerian breweries actually came into limelight when a group of influential northern elite including a staunch GMB supporter and governor of Kano state,kwankwaso, put pressure on GEJ to sack him as the head of the population commission for speaking the truth about all d census conducted in Nigeria, that all have been fraudulent and characterized by inflation of figures and registration of non human specie.I never thought that man would be allowed to come near any genuine,truthful government again.
Kudos to GMB. Every step u take just confirms further that yours is a divine duty of redemption of Nigeria.

Having Festus Odimegwu anywhere near this committee is a gross mistake. I wonder how he got there. His antecedents are well known to Nigerians. You cannot place an unrepentant bigot in such positions. I would want to know the position of APC stakeholders such as Kwankwaso on the appointment of Odimegwu on this committee.

REVISIT - FESTUS ODIMEGWU OCTOBER 2013
----------------------------------------------------
"There was jubilation in parts of northern Nigeria today as President Goodluck Jonathan bowed to pressure from a section of northern Nigeria politicians and relieved the Chairman of the country’s National Population Commission, Mr festus odimegwu of his position. The president appointed Sam Ahaiwe, the Commissioner representing Abia State in the Commission, to act as chairman pending the appointment of a new chairman of the commission.
Observers were not surprised at the abrupt removal of Odumegwu who at a public function had said: “No census has been credible in Nigeria since 1816. Even the one conducted in 2006 is not credible. I have the records and evidence produced by scholars and professors of repute; this is not my report. If the current laws are not amended, the planned 2016 census will not succeed”.
Sequel to that indicting statement, which succeed”.
Sequel to that indicting statement, which echoed the views of many experts, northern Nigeria politicians and governors led by Rabiu Kwankwaso undertook a virulent lobby which urged Jonathan to drop odimegwu. They noted that odimegwu’s blunt statement was capable of destabilizing the country.
Kwankwaso is the current governor of Kano state which has benefitted the most from the same fraudulent population figures that odimegwu complained about.
Following his visit to President Jonathan after the vexed Odumegwu statement, Kwankwaso offered the following statement to the media and making a snide reference to odimegwu’s past as boss of Nigeria Breweries PLC: “…I also raised the issue of the Chairman of the National Population Commission headed by one festus Odimegwu. "We are not happy about that appointment, and think that it was a mistake. He had only one thing in alcoholic industry (sic), all his life. And my guess is that he’s taking a lot of his products and that is why we feel that his appointment is a mistake because he cannot be the Chairman of NPC and at the same time attack what his predecessors have done”
[color=#990000][/color]Although international agencies recognise Lagos as hosting an estimated 15 million people, making it one of the most populated metropolis in the world, Nigeria’s last census exercise which was fraught with fraud as odimegwu opined, ascribes the largest population to Kwankwaso’s Kano State instead of Lagos."
