The Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has said the state lost about N10 billion under the administration of Goodluck Jonathan in four years. This is even as he has said no worker is owed salary in the state. Oshiomhole while fielding questions from State House correspondents after he and former governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, met behind closed-doors with President Muhammadu Buhari, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said the sum was an estimate of what could have accrued to his state if the past administration had been faithful in remitting taxes paid by the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG) and Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria into the Consolidated Federation Account the same way the present administration did. He claimed that if the $1.6 billion NLNG tax used as bailout for states had come during the Jonathan administration, it would have gone the same way it has been going without states benefitting. He reiterated that contrary to media reports, the bail out given to states did not come from the Excess Crude Account (ECA), but from the NLNG, which has for the first time in a long while started remitting revenue to the Consolidated Revenue Fund. Speaking on the bail out to states, the Edo State governor said, “We have always been happy with the President because he has been very clear from day one on his cam­ paign promises to putting an end to impunity and flagrant disobedient of law and order. And he has promised transparency and order. So it is not just about the bail out but it is completely a new approach that anybody who is a stakeholder in the matters involving the funds of the federation that we all can see through everything. “For example the noise that has been generated over what happened last week, there was nothing extraordinary. What was extraordinary is that the NLNG has over the years been remitting funds to the Federal Government. But the Federal Government ille­ gally refused to transfer these funds to the consolidated revenue fund which belongs to the three tiers of government.”

why Blaming Jonathan for your Incompetence?

Osho Baba don dey chop him whity wife Kpekus, now him dey yan nonsense?

Oshiomole has started again. Why can't he focus on his job as Governor?

Why not say Edo lost N10b on importation of teenage girls from all over Africa for beauty pageant. Ugly old chimp alway wanting to be in the news

Have you guys notice something about Oshiomhole. He talks more than lia Mohammed.

Is he the new APC spokesman

You Know............

Na his new wife dey shak ham.....

After wasting Edo state money in ur wedding to a Cape Verde pornstarrr, now you have mouth to talk. Illiterate Auchi he goat.

Frankly speaking, since PMB came onboard, i think Gov Adams has completely lost his sanity. He now makes comment like a motor park tout without even verifying what he is saying. PMB should know that you don't drive a car successfully by constantly looking backward. Complaining and always looking back at the past administration will make him look confused. (Thats if he is not confuse already)

Was Jonathan the Finance Commissioner for Edo State before?

I need Enlightment

I've noticed a disturbing trend since this term began, that APC is now fond of justifying their incompetence and failure by using the PDP as an excuse and even as a standard. I think this is quite embarrassing because Nigerians voted out the PDP to usher in change, new ways of doing things. There should be no relationship between the old and the new. Fiscal federalism would have shut up Oshiomole trap, permanently.

Some people won't even read the content before commenting/attacking. I'm guilty too. lol

Ok

Was Jonathan governor of Edo state?

Oshiomole is a scallywag - Kwankwanso

We all know the the impunity the clueless one exhibited under the last administration! !
