Meanwhile in the same abuja, then Governor wada was also building a 12 storey kogi house for just over 2 billion. He took it to the 12 th floor in 6 months. If PDP as a party cannot learn from it’s own governor how to be prudent- where will they ever learn from? PDP o, APC o, they are all the same rogues.

Obasanjo and Atiku no dey see the uncompleted building , maybe Buhari is the reason they never finish it . so where is the funds raised for it ? if they can chop 60 Billion power money and clean mouth, what then is 27 Billion ?. They're going to Build Nigeria they failed to build for 16yrs. Nonsense . APC is not the best but don't dare tell me PDP is the remedy .unless you're Bias and Myopic .

The money is in fixed deposit. It will come out at the right time. Op, how can you say that house is not up to 50%. What i am seeing in that structure is 75% complete. If you put in sincere 1billion in that building, it is completed


You dont know the cost of finishing and furnishing

Only block works and roofing done so far is what you call 75% completed?

"Man proposses and God disposses"
Exactly! As OBJ used to say, money budgeted is not money available.
Most of the "Donations were publicity stunts. They were only mouth donations. Book launch, charity and even public church donations most times are mouth donations, the beneficiaries of the donations most times run after the donors to redeem their pledge, with little success.
The people pledging huge donations at PDP events were probably only trying to impress the president and probably the party chairman.

ABOUT YAM EATERS (PDP)

In 2008, the former PDP chairman Ahmadu Ali suggested a new Headquarters should be constructed for their party, PDP. The idea was welcomed by all party members.

A 12 story building was agreed upon. The former Vice President who at the time was the Governor of Kaduna State, Architect Namadi Sambo, designed the structure of the proposed new secretariat.

The contract was awarded to BNL construction firm for N10billion with a delivery date of two and half years. First quarter of that year, Ahmadu Ali was kicked out of office.

Then came a new PDP Nat. Chairman, Vincent Ogbulafor, who keyed into the idea of the new Secretariat by his predecessor. He quickly rallied round party members on how to raise funds.

By November 14, 2008, Ogbulafor organized a fundraising dinner for the N10billion needed to execute the project. On that night, N6billion was generated cash down. ��

Femi Otedola was the baba olowo in attendance. He was the highest donor. You know Femi Otedola na. Don't you? Ok! You remembered Farouk Lawal & subsidy money kwo? Ehen, na that Femi wey been dey swallow subsidy money that Farouk wanted to rope him before Femi come use akpako pass akpako on him. Femi single handedly donated N1billion to PDP on the night. No shaking! PDP! POWER!!!

This one no be dem say dem say, I watched that fund raising dinner live on AIT on that day. I saw the massive explosion of cheers when Femi announced his N1billion donation. ��

Back to my story jare.
So, five years later after the fundraising dinner, the secretariat was nowhere near 20% completion even though N6billion was raised for the project that was initially meant to be completed in 2 & a half years.

However, in October 2013, another former National Chairman of PDP, this time, it was Bamanga Tukur, he initiated fresh moves to re-mobilise the contractors back to site. How? Through fundraising of course. Are you a learner? �

In December 2014 a combined fundraising dinner was organized to raise funds for Mr. Jonathan's 2015 presidential election and for the building project. A mouth watering & mind boggling sum of N21 billion was realized at the event. Yes! You heard me right: N21billion. Is it ur N21billion? ����

I know a lot of us are not very good at mathematics, but let's do this quick maths.

N6billion + N21billion = N27billion. Blood of Moses! Meanwhile, the secretariat originally was meant to cost "only" N10billion.

Lest I forget to tell you, only N2billion was given to BNL construction company as mobilisation from the N6billion that was raised from the initial fundraising. Balance from there was N4billion. Therefore; N4billion + N21billion?

The remaining N25billion was converted to yams & eaten up by goats of many breeds. Lol ���

At the time I typed this post at 02:37am this morning, the new PDP headquarters in Abuja is still not 50% completed.

This brings me to a saying by a character in the gods are not to blame; Odewole said;" If the crocodiles can eat up their own eggs, what can they not do to the body of the frog"?

I'm begging all my PDP friends to take this message to Secondus, Fayose & Wike, PDP should finish building their secretariat in Abuja first before they come to build the entire Nigeria. Tankiu!

Lemme explain the politics behind those donations you mentioned. True they came up with those figures but it doeant imply they were physical cash. Those are promised amount that honestly, that wont come in whole. Otedola that promised 1billion may not have donated more than half of those figures because, he could have been dropping it in trenches and as the project progresses more is been gicen but obviously, even when you heard those figures, it sidnt mean the cobtributiob went as planned. what about the money for northeast during the campaign funds to re established the north east then... billions were heard but am not sure they got up to a third of the said amount.

Big men can promise heaven and earth o but all na mouth. they cant part with one dime of the money. thats the truth

My Dear I don't think you have ever been in a fund raising committee here in Nigeria because from my experience (not political) some of those money pledged will never be redeemed. I have no knowledge of that of PDP though.

PDP really bleeped up here



My brother, i don't care about Party. I am more interested in the person and what i see him do.

Abia State which is my state needs another party as urgent as possible (Alex Otti) . If PDP is wise enough, they should work very hard on the states they have left else they will turn to one of those parties that are about to swept out, but what i see in Abia shows that sense is still far from PDP Leadership.

If APC is wise enough, they shouldn't flag Bello in Kogi as he failed woefully.

Look, if Abia governor misbehaves, it doesnt translate to pdp failure. ofcourse, the guy needs to be smacked with some sense but you also need to understand PDP as a party cannot be held responsible for Ikpeazu's demeanour singlely. What about Ayade, what about Wike? Politics is local. The party only provides the platform. The worst case scenerio is for the party to look for someelse that can deliver the manifesto of the party but they dont have constutional powers over the governor...
