Ex-President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has been challenged by Governor Aminu Bello Masari – Governor Masari took a swing at Jonathan, asking him to give details of his impact in the Niger Delta – Masari has challenged leaders of the Niger Delta to come clean on how the affairs of the region has been run Former speaker of the house of representatives and Katsina state governor, Aminu Bello Masari has lamented that for 6years, a Niger Delta president failed to develop the region despite huge revenues from oil within the administration. Aminu Masari 09283 Governor Masari says the leaders from the Niger Delta region, failed their people. Although Masari did not name anyone, the reference to a Niger Delta president was apparently made to Goodluck Jonathan, the immediate past president, under whose presidency oil price averaged $ 100 per barrel. In an interview published in the current edition of The Interview, Masari called out Niger Delta leaders, challenging them to “come clean” on how they managed the region’s resources.

Let us see what difference he made in six years when he was president,” he said. “When the excess crude account became pocket money, how much of the money went to the Niger Delta?” He asked the federal government to publish how much the region has received since the 13 percent derivation started. According to a statement by Azu Ishiekwene, managing director/editor-in-chief of the magazine, “the interview features Masari firing on all cylinders”. The former speaker of the house of representatives took on Senate President Bukola Saraki, and explained why the third term bid of former President Olusegun Obasanjo failed. For the first time, he spoke at length on ‘budget padding’, and then, he “removed his gloves on his predecessor, Ibrahim Shema”. Asked what he did to ensure accountability of oil money when he was speaker and also a ranking member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Masari said: “The house of representatives has been friendly to the people of the Niger Delta than any other institution in the country.” The magazine’s issue also contains detailed interviews with Chioma Ajunwa and the world’s most famous foodies, the Roca Brothers. In the same vein, Alhaji Masari has lamented that the way resources were lavished by the past PDP administration is the major reason some states in the country cannot pay workers’ salaries regularly. Governor Masari made the disclosure when he received the Katsina state officials of Munazzamatul Fitiyanul Islam on a courtesy visit in Government House Katsina yesterday, July 25.

Dont mind these blood sucking demons Enough is enough... This is a parasitic relationship. The South South has not benefited anything from Nigeria and has the right to self determination if and when necessary. NigerDeltan: |

What impact has Buhari had on the north? Could we now blame Boko Haram activities on him? It is even on record that he supported them through his words and actions, but the likes of Governor Masari had nothing to say about it. Sing on to your zombies who have no brain of their own to weigh things. |
