APC Lie Busted! Port Harcourt International Airport Upgrade A PDP Project by naijapips02: 7:55am On Oct 15, 2018
A topic on the frontpage claiming PH international Airport as an APC/Buhari project is nothing but false.

The Upgrade of PH international airport was a project awarded in 2013 by the federal government under former President Goodluck Jonathan. The contract was for the remodelling and building of international airport terminals in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano and Enugu on a ‘Built, Operate and Transfer’ (BOT) basis, financed by Chinese EXIM Bank but with counterpart funds from Nigeria.

The FGN's obligation as part of this partnership was to provide $100 million counterpart funding which GEJ paid before he left office.

Like other projects, Buhari is laying claim and taking credit for a project he personal had no input in.

Here is a post by dailypost in 2016 when Adesoun tried to claim that the counterpart funding for this project had not being paid.


The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has lambasted the Minister of Finance, Ms. Kemi Adeosun for denying that Nigeria has paid its own part of the Airport Terminal counterpart funding of $100 million.

The party said contrary to the statement credited to Adeosun, who spoke in a television programme, Sunrise, on Tuesday, the federal government under former President Goodluck Jonathan awarded a contract for the remodelling and building of international airport terminals in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano and Enugu on a ‘Built, Operate and Transfer’ (BOT) basis, financed by Chinese EXIM Bank but with counterpart funds from Nigeria.

Deputy Senate President, while speaking at plenary yesterday on the economy, suggested that Kemi Adeosun be assigned to another ministry to give way to a more competent person because of the situation at hand.

A statement issued Wednesday by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, described Adeosun’s statement as just one of the many lies consistently peddled by the All Progressives Congress, APC, disregarding and denying all the obvious achievements of the 16 years of PDP era and collective successes of Nigerians

“Once again, our attention has been drawn to a statement made by the Minister of Finance, Ms. Kemi Adeosun, during the Channels Television Live Programme, ‘Sunrise Daily’ of Tuesday, in which she stated that, ‘Nigeria has not paid the airport terminal counterpart funding of $100 million….’

“This information like many of her previous statements is: false, misleading, malicious and was deliberately made with the intention of blackmailing previous PDP led administration which have been the hallmark of the APC government.

“We are pained that the APC under Buhari is bent on sacrificing our hard earned democracy on the slab of falsehood by consistently disregarding and denying all the obvious achievements of the 16 years of PDP era and collective successes of Nigerians. Why is that?

“You will recall that the former President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in 2014, awarded the contract of remodelling and building of international airport terminals in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano and Enugu on a BOT basis, financed by Chinese EXIM Bank with counterpart funds from Nigeria. The contract total sum was $500 million with counterpart funding of $100 million from Nigeria.

“The fact of the matter is that, Nigeria paid her own sum of $100 million on the 29th of January 2014 through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at the beginning of the projects.

“You will also recall that the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Aviation, Hajiya Binta Bello, corroborated our position during her interview with THISDAY Newspaper on September 14, 2015, where she stated: ‘Finance was not an impediment, and Nigeria government counterpart funding of $100 million has been paid at the commencement of the projects.

“She went further to assert that the projects would be completed and delivered at the first quarter of 2016.

“In the light of the above, the claim by the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun is not only standing the truth on its head but depicting the habitual lies and deceit the APC is known for.

“For the record, the previous PDP government entered into an agreement with the Chinese government to construct terminals in five airports, and in January 2014, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) wrote the Debt Management Office informing them of effecting the Payment of $100Million to the Chinese Firm, CECC which was remitted as directed by the CBN. In another thought, could it be that this needless confusion from the Minister regarding the already Paid Fund is to represent the Voucher again for payment?

“It is however unfortunate that a minister that is expected to know better on this matter would deliberately deceive the public in order to continue scoring cheap political points.

“To this end, we want to further advice the APC-led administration to concentrate on governance and stop deceiving Nigerians with their constant lies. What the people of this country need in this period of harsh economic recession is not meaningless and misguided lamentations from a government of the so called “Change” but good governance demonstrated by at least providing food on their table.”

Why do u people think those supporting Buhari are paid agents?
In all countries of the world there are always supporters and oppositions but here in Nigeria u people will insult each other.

People have their reasons for supporting who they want and we should respect that.


Both APC and PDP supporters are hypocrites. They ignore their errors and attack those of the other.

Nonsense supporters.

This your Propaganda is dead on arrival.
The same upgrade Goodluck and Stella Oduah claimed they did in Portharcourt International Airport, is the same they did in Enugu. Thank God for Buhari who came to the rescue of both Airports.

Below are pictures of the Enugu International Airport. The first picture is the state of the Airport when Stella Oduah and GEJ claimed they have renovated it. While, the second picture is the present state of the Airport after it was upgraded and remodeled by President Buhari.

God bless me,
God bless Buhari,
God bless Nigeria.

GEJ and Stella Oduah claimed they have fixed both Airports at the same time. They syphoned the funds meant for remodeling the Airports, that was why a poor job was done. Thanks to Buhari, both Airports are wearing a new looks now.
