WHO RAPED NIGERIA?
I'm usually taken aback whenever officers of the
present APC administration release statements
and interviews to sermonise Nigerians on how
PDP administration has destroyed Nigeria for
16years and how they are working on fixing the
mess created by PDP.
It is non-contestable that between May 29, 1999
and May 29, 2015, "PDP" occupied the
seat of power in Abuja and control majority states
in the federation. However, we have to get our
fact right with respect to "who destroyed Nigeria
between 1999 and 2015". I believe we should do a
holistic analysis on this subject.

PRESIDENTS AND VICE BETWEEN 1999-2015:
Nigeria had three presidents between May 29,
1999 and May 29, 2015. Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, Late Mallam Umaru Yar'adua and Dr
Goodluck Jonathan. Of the three, Obasanjo spent
eight years in office(1999-2007), Yar'adua three
years (May 2007-May 2010) and Dr Jonathan five
years (May 2010-May 2015). Obasanjo with
highest number of time spent(Eight years)
denounced PDP to become APC and Buhari's
navigator to office. Similarly, of the three vice
presidents between the period, Atiku Abubakar
spent the most number of years in office (Eight,
1999-2007). He not only moved to AC/APC while
in office in 2006, he also aspired to rule Nigeria
on APC platform in 2014 and is a member of
APC's Board of Trustees.

SPEAKERS OF HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE
BETWEEN 1999-2015:
Between 1999 and 2015 Nigeria had six Speakers
of Federal House of Representative. There are
Salisu Buhari (June -July 1999), Ghali Na'aba
(July 1999-June 2003), Aminu Bello Mansari
(June 2003-June 2007), Madam Patricia Etteh
(June 2007-November 2007), Dimeji Bankole (Nov
2007-June 2011) and Waziri Tambawal(June
2011-June 2015). Of all Six former Speakers,
FOUR are members of APC (Na'aba, Mansari,
Etteh and Tambawal) with a combined period of
TWELVE YEARS in office out of the sixteen years.
Mansari and Tambawal are APC Governors of
Katsina and Sokoto states respectively.
PROMINENT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS:
Nasir Elrufai was DG Bureau for Public Enterprise
and Secretary of National Council on Privatisation
between 1999 and 2003. He later became minister
of FCT between 2003 and 2007 and now Kaduna State Governor. As DG BPE and Secretary of NCP, he supervised the privatisation of NEPA, NITEL etc. All were enmeshed in controversy. By virtue of his office, Atiku
Abubakar was the Chairman of NCP between
1999 and 2007. Both men supervised the
privatisation of public companies for the period.
They are APC members.
Danjuma Goje, was the minister of state for power
between 1999 and 2003. Rabiu Kwankwaso was
minister of Defence between 2003 and 2007. Both
are members of APC BoT and Senators. The Benue State Governor, Samuel Orthom served as minister of state, trade and investment between 2011 and 2015. Nasir Elrufai was minister of FCT between 2003 and 2007.
They are now Governors of Benue and Kaduna
states respectively. Should we wash all these
away?
STATE ADMINISTRATIONS BETWEEN 1999-2015:
Between 1999 and 2015, Gombe has had three
Governors, Abubakar Hashidu (4years), Danjuma
Goje (8years) and Ibrahim Dankwambo(4years).
Both Hashidu and Goje are members of APC. That
is a combined 12years.
In Kwara state, all governors since 1999 are APC
members save late Lawal who ruled under APP.
In Anambra state, ex-Govs Mbadiniju (4years),
Nwabuweze Chris Ngige (3years), and Peter Obi
(8years) were Governors. Mbadinuju and Ngige
are APC members. That is a combined 7years
between 1999-2014. PDP Obi held sway for 8
years.
Similarly, in Benue state George Akume was held
sway from 1999-2007(and Senator 2007 till
date). Is APC chieftain.
All Governors of Osun state between 1999 till
date are APC members. Also in Ekiti state, of the
16 years, PDP's Fayose only had four. Otunba
Niyi Adebayo(4years), Segun Oni (3 years) and
Fayemi (4years) are BoT members of APC.
In Abia state, Uzo Kalu that held sway between
1999 to 2007 is a Chief of APC. APC Govs has
been in power in Lagos state all through the
period.
In Zamfara state, APC Govs held sway for
TWELVE out of the 16years. In Rivers state APC
Chieftain Rotimi Amaechi was not only Governor
for eight years(of the 16years), he also served as
Speaker for the other part of 8years. Plateau state
Governor Simon Lalong was a Speaker during the
Dariye administration. The list is endless.
APC CLAIM OF PDP DESTROYING NIGERIA FOR
16 YEARS IS ILLOGICAL:
We can see that between 1999 and May 2015
individuals occupied various political offices, the
actions(and inactions) of these office-holders
contributed to the decline of the Nigeria and her
economy. Majority of these people were at one
time or the other indicted for corrupt practices
and fraud while in office. Most of these people are
members of APC and some appointed into offices.
ALL of them combined are responsible for the
sorry state of things in Nigeria. We can't forget
so soon that it was Saraki and Amaechi(as NGF
Chairpersons) that moved for the Sharing and
depletion of the Excess Crude Account, which GEJ
bowed to between 2007 and 2012. In fact,
theyalso pushed for the sharing of One Billion
Dollars in Soveriegn Wealth Fund but was resisted
by Jonathan. Today, Saraki is not just APC
Senator but also the Senate President, while
Amaechi is a Minster of Transport. Can we forget
so soon that Audu Ogbeh, a Minister
and APC Senator Barnabas Germade were PDP
National Chairmen between these periods".

Useless and incoherent rubbish
