Akeredolu is a fraud.

Southwest Bitumen Limited doesn't even have a website :

This the CEO of the company: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eadedara/?originalSubdomain=ng

What is the budget for the programme , timeline etc , there is not a single website for the fake company that was created for political reason. ..nonesense.

....

at the end of the day, Aketi will still win again �‍ that alone is my happiness.

Named dropping by Akerodolu and Obaseki.

A civilian dictatorship is being established by Nigeria’s political class.

It is not an issue of the creation of civilian dictatorship, it is an issue of a failed nation. Nigeria is a failed country. The debt profile is unexplainable high with high level corruption. There is no governance. This is just a zoo with politicians and civil servants at strategic locations embezzling money without control.

I got your point, earlier, Oyegun said an agreement was reached with Buhari for Obaseki and Akeredolu to do second term. Oyegun is too weak and shallow minded just like many of his people in Edo and South South States. Obaseki is also banking on Buhari . Using Buhari name does not gain or win popularity for Akeredolu in Ondo State, rather, it might affect him in the election.

South West voters don't care about Buhari, they only care about their various grassroots leaders. Osun & Ekiti elections have nothing to do with Buhari.

I wish Eyitayo Jegede well.

Why is every small piece done in Nigeria always attributed to Buhari.
A private company co-joined with a state government to exploit bitumen, and all they said is buhari
Knowing fully well that if this private company did not initiated this, Buhari doesn't even know the capital of Ondo talk more of knowing that bitumen exist in ondo.
pls lets grow up and not make everything political

OndoFirstBorn:
Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN has appreciated President Muhammadu Buhari for the role he played in the actualization of the Bitumen exploitation in the state.

The Governor who took to his twitter account to share the "Journey of Hope" of the Bitumen project said it's understandable that a sustainable project takes time but a promise is a promised that must be fulfilled.

The Governor in another tweet appreciated President Buhari for his commitment to the project through the Presidential Economic Diversification Initiative which was launched in 2017.

In his tweets: "We understand that sustainable development takes time but a promise is a promise. When we say it, we always do it. #DevelopOndo."

"I must also appreciate @MBuhari for his commitment to this project through the Presidential Economic Diversification Initiative which started around the beginning of my administration."

Quite a number of people are on Facebook calling the bitumen project status a ploy to decieve. They ought to know that there is a fundamental difference between what we are seeing here and what we have seen in previous years; this time, *this company has a Mining Lease which is the first one ever granted in Nigeria for Mining Bitumen.*

The Journey of Ondo Bitumen of Hope;

- Nov 7th 2017 - President Buhari shows full commitment to bitumen exploration project in Budget speech.

- May 18th 2018 - First ever Mining lease granted to mine bitumen in Nigeria granted to SWB.

SWB... should HIT the ground running. The bitumen reserve in Nigeria (Ondo, Ogun, Lagos, Edo) is even more than the crude oil reserve. Bitumen oozes out by itself from the ground in Ondo State! Too many untarred roads in Nigeria have to be tarred.

Hmm..

Still a midget when compared with oil and has infrastructure.

You can do better sir, stop celebrating mediocrity

Bitumen is a hydrocarbon and so is oil, I’m not sure what your point is or what point your trying to make.

Don't turn my Ondo state to another Oloibiri abeg.

Anyway we are getting O'odua Republic very soon hopefully.

Mining and other underground explorations are under the exclusive list. Only federal government can mine or give permission.

Exploitation abi na exploration?

Gurusmark1:
I hope Akeredolu is not using this Bitumen thing for election again

If he used bitumen for campaign previously, he has delivered because he was not even the governor then. So...

EyezofGod120:
