Politics › Re: PDP Group Tells Jonathan To Reconcile With OBJ So As To Win South West by adadadon(m): 12:34pm On Dec 19, 2014
deleib:
A group, Concerned PDP Stakeholders, on Thursday, advised President Goodluck Jonathan to reconcile with former President Olusegun Obasanjo in order to win in the South-West in 2015.
In a statement by its coordinator, Mr.Taofeek Oshodi, the group said since the All Progressives Congress had picked Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), as the running mate to Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) the President must devise plans to woo the Yoruba.
The group noted that the President needed to give the South-West a firm commitment and demonstration of recognition by considering its indigenes for top political appointments.
The group said, “The foremost strategic step President Jonathan should take immediately is to find a way to reconcile with his estranged political godfather who is the National Leader of the PDP, and the most respected political figure in the South-West. There is no other way out.
“The President must know that with the APC fielding a Yoruba Vice-President from a Christian background, we need to strategise on balancing political appointments now as the only way to tilt the equation. If President Jonathan wants to win the 2015 elections he must do this without delay.”
While reacting to the APC’s claim that its presidential primary was transparent, the group said the votes counted at the primary did not add up.
According to the group, if over 7, 000 delegates were accredited to vote at the venue and only a total of 6,000 votes were accounted for according to the figures released, the APC should explain what happened to the remaining 1,206 votes.
“The APC should explain this to Nigerians as some of us are observing them and would not like them to deceive Nigerians with their bogus claims of transparency and fair process. Some APC delegates from Delta State were not allowed to vote,” it said.
The group argued that the APC had no track record of good governance and that all it had was to give Nigerians “promises.”
“The PDP remains the safest option for Nigeria. We cannot put Nigeria in the hands of adventurers and politicians whose motive to get to the corridors of power is due to their grievances and self-interest. The devil we know is definitely better than the saint we don’t know,” the group stated.

Even when facts are before youhuhhuh SMH!
1. Buhari never built the first refinery and never claimed building it.

2. The Op/ the newspaper lied because as stated earlier it wasn't Buhari initiative but he was the Federal Commissioner for Petroleum Resources, March 1976 to June 1978;

3. He was the Military Governor, North Eastern State of Nigeria, August 1975 – March 1976; against the OP of 1975 to 1978.

4.Chairman, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, June 1978 – July 1978;

5. REFINERY PROJECT DECISION

The decision to construct the third Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) refinery in Kaduna was taken in 1974 along with that of the second NNPC refinery located at Warri. However, it was decided that work would commence on the construction of the third refinery whenever the projection of the consumption of petroleum products justifies it.

By early 1975, in view of the fuel shortages experienced then, the Federal Government decided that work on the third refinery should be advanced. It was envisaged that the refinery was to be a simple hydro skimming type refinery in order to meet up with the fuel demand then.

Based on the feasibility studies carried out, which took into consideration the consumption of the various petroleum products within the Northern Zone, and adequate means of disposal for the surplus products, a Refinery with crude oil capacity of 42,000 barrels per stream day (BPSD) could be easily justified. Hence, the refinery was designed for a capacity of 60,000 BPSD. It was much later that the Federal Government decided that the capacity for any refinery in Nigeria should not be below 100,000 BPSD. However, this would have led to the production of large quantity of heavy ends. And one practical and viable solution is reprocessing the heavy fuel oils.

In order to do this, the whole project plans had to be modified so that what initially was planned to be simply a hydro skimming type refinery, developed into an integrated refinery. The refinery would now be able to produce a wider variety of petroleum products, some of which should be lubricating base oils. Hence, it became necessary to import suitable paraffinic based crude oil from Venezuela, Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.

Products from the Refinery include; Fuels for use as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) or Diesel oil, Kerosene, Fuel Oil, Sulphur and those from the lubricating oils complex are Base Oils, Asphalt (Bitumen) and Waxes.

The lubricating oil complex of Kaduna Refinery is the first of its kind in West Africa and one of the largest in Africa. The consulting firm, KING WILKINSON of Hague, Holland, in conjunction with NNPC engineers, developed the plan for the refinery. The contract for construction was awarded to CHIYODA CHEMICAL ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY OF YOKOHAMA, Japan in 1977.

The Refinery project was completed and the Fuels Plant was commissioned in 1980. However the Lubes Plant was commissioned in 1983 and Petrochemical Plant much later in 1988. The initial operation and maintenance was carried out by Nigerian Staff and expatriate personnel as technical back up. By 1985, Nigerian staff had virtually taken over all the maintenance and operations.

If Buhari was the Federal Commissioner for Petroleum Resources, March 1976 to June 1978; who now supervised and awarded the contract.

6.The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is the state oil corporation which was established on April 1, 1977. In addition to its exploration activities, the Corporation was given powers and operational interests in refining, petrochemicals and products transportation as well as marketing. Between 1978 and 1989, NNPC constructed refineries in Warri, Kaduna and Port Harcourt and took over the 35,000-barrel Shell Refinery established in Port Harcourt in 1965.

Who initiated the policy for the creation of NNPC? can it be the federal commissioner of Petroleum resources.

7. Where did the writer or the OP got his fake news. At least NNPC will not lie against itself. Yes, Obasanjo was the president and he delegated it to somebody (who is that person BUHARI), did he deliver in the duty awarded to him by his boss? YES.

The OP is needs to do a proper research before posting. He lied about Buhari's profile. Haba, give it to he that is good in what ever he does.
Even Obasanjo who was his boss acknowledge his discipline and integrity.

Politics › Re: 2015 Elections: Why APC And Tinubu May Lose Lagos State Part II by adadadon(m): 2:04pm On Dec 11, 2014
Moheat:
In his acceptance speech, Ambode linked his emergence to his mass appeal. I find that naive at best, laughable at the worst. Pray, in a genuine democratic environment, what mass appeal would someone with no political experience have over a popular serving senator in Ganiyu Solomon, over a long-term serving speaker of the state Assembly in Adeyemi Ikuforiji or over other politicians in the state like Leke Pitan and Tola Kasali?

As predicted in the first part of this article, “King Tinebuchadnezzar’s” anointed candidate Akin Ambode won in the APC's selection called primaries organised in Lagos state on Thursday. I say selection because that’s exactly what it was despite the charade of trying to make it look like a fair primary election. The list of delegates to the election were not made known to other contestants except Ambode, neither was it a direct primary like was held in the old Alliance for Democracy (AD) in 1999 when Bola “Tinebuchadnezzar” Tinubu narrowly defeated in controversial circumstances the late Funsho Williams. In 1999, the primaries were held across the different wards in the 20 Local Governments (LGAs) in the state, while in this indirect primaries held on Thursday delegates were selected across the 20 LGAs and instructed on who the favoured candidate was hence the obvious selection of Ambode.
Akinwunmi Ambode It makes it easier for godfather Tinubu and his favourite Ambode, as the delegates were mostly APC LGA and state party executives drawn from the 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs, state House of Assembly and National Assembly members representing the state and thus could not freely vote their choice as they could easily be dealt with politically if they do.
Furthermore on Wednesday, when the contestants met at the Airport Hotel in Ikeja with the APC Lagos state primary organising chairman Peter Obadan, Ambode made a Freudian slip to the rest of the candidates that they should accept the indirect primary option as they all know who the winner would be in any case. Ganiyu Solomon (GOS), a serving senator in the state and one of the contestants, insisted he explain to them all what he meant by such boastful statement, but Ambode denied right away he said so. It shows a bit of the character of the APC gubernatorial candidate Ambode, as someone who lacks tact, is proud, insensitive, sly and downright cheeky. If he wins in 2015, my judgement of his character tells me Lagosians would have a pro-elitist government, as someone who would be pro-masses would at least be more sensitive and tactful to his fellow contestants despite the undue leg-up he’s been given by his godfather ahead of other candidates.
The travesty and tragedy in the comical race for the APC gubernatorial ticket in Lagos state is not the victory of Ambode, but the defeat for democracy and true progressive values in the state. The fact that the political space has been shut against many qualified and valuable politicians is the alarming danger in it all. There is no genuine politics going on in Lagos state except an empire built for the purpose of one king alone which is Tinubu. Here is how it works, if you are a politician with genuine mass appeal or grass-root following you would never get the godfather’s approval. The scam is to talk about electing a technocrat as governor who would not focus on politics while in office, ensuring you have no political structure or machinery to deploy for your political ambition. By the third year in office, should you have performed and begin to have any political following, the godfather instigates the state House of Assembly against you with the threat of impeachment which makes you reach out to him to save you.
The agreement put forward to you is that you don’t build any political structure or machinery in the state and must use only the political machinery of the godfather, which ensures that while you may be popular for your performance in the state you have no true political structure on ground. This ensures that Tinubu emasculates the governor and the one person to be the major political force in the state thereby ensuring the continuity of his enterprise and slavery of Lagosians socio-politically.
In his acceptance speech, Ambode linked his emergence to his mass appeal. I find that naive at best, laughable at the worst. Pray, in a genuine democratic environment, what mass appeal would someone with no political experience have over a popular serving senator in GOS, over a long-term serving speaker of the state Assembly in Adeyemi Ikuforiji or over other politicians in the state like Leke Pitan and Tola Kasali?
He maybe happy now to use his godfather’s political machinery, resources and supposed clout but the same cycle would repeat itself first in three years’ time and later on in eight years’ time should he become governor of the state as long as the godfather is still alive. The political contraction goes all the way down to the House of Assembly nomination where for example in Ikeja Constituency 2 a seasoned female politician who has been with the party since 1999 and held various positions in the party and in the Local Government, was restricted in favour of Tinubu’s nephew Damola Kasumu who has no political experience.
It was the same with the outgoing state legislator for that constituency Lola Akande (younger sister of Tinubu’s wife) who with no political engagement became a legislator for eight years. In Oshodi-Isolo constituency 2 Omowunmi-Edet was imposed in 2007 by Tinubu on the constituents and thus leaving out people with grass-root appeal.
The whole scheme is run in such a way that you go away sequestered in Alausa in your legislative quarters and no engagement with your constituents (since you not from the grass-roots anyway), your only engagement would be with your godfather whose birthday, political rallies, daughters’ coronation as Iyaloja (Market-women leader) etc. you keep showing up for to keep you in his memory - should the direct imposition continue - but when the chips are down and it comes to primaries like it was done this time you can’t woo enough of your constituents to vote for you and its easy for Henry Ajomale’s (APC state chairman) son to defeat such returning legislator as they would be using the godfather’s machinery and the cycle gets repeated. Its like a never ending replicating virus Tinubu has planted in the political system in Lagos state that would ensure he alone determines everyone’s ambition and it’s only given to people with no political structure or machinery.
Muiz Banire, a man not given to frivolous statements, some weeks back maintained that the APC may lose Lagos State and he openly criticised the role Tinubu is playing within the party. He was heavily criticised by some writers who stood in defence of their Emperor Nero, but they failed to see the ominous dangers. First it started with the Badagry division, who have always rejected the Tinubu imposition schemes since 2003 and opened the barn door for them to mostly vote for PDP, it crept to Ikorodu division through the likes of Adeseye Ogunlewe, then came the turn of Epe division with the Ibeju-Lekki axis opening their doors for PDP. Lagos division particularly Eti-Osa followed suit where Babajide Obanikoro won a council election on the opposition party’s platform but was denied at the tribunal. Ebute-Metta also under Lagos division had violent protest there when the incumbent legislator lost to a fresher.
Now the danger has moved inland to the Ikeja division (the division of Lagos that produces the most votes). Ikeja constituency 1 and 2 have two freshers in sons and nephews of party chieftains thereby screening out old party faithfuls who are the vote canvassers for the party. Mushin (another high-voting population area) has Banire and Ganiyu Solomon, two dissatisfied party influencers and you know APC has left its barn door open for the PDP. If you go back to Obanikoro son’s issue, you wonder why Lai Mohammed or Tinubu’s sons and nephews are good enough to be voted for under the so called banner of progressives but Obanikoro’s son would be demonised because public opinion has been turned against his father or he is not a “progressive.”
Those crying for a break-up of Nigeria (God forbid) should think carefully, say we have a Yoruba Nation is this the kind of politics we would be playing? A politics of servitude and glass-ceiling, where if you studied in the UK or US and your father is well known or you have a godfather then you can be allowed to get into public office. What about those who studied in Unilag, LASU, etc. or those who studied abroad and whose father are not known? It means in Tinubu’s republic you can’t contribute. When the likes of Obanikoro and Fayose fight for their independence and freedom we call them thugs and anti-progressives, but what exactly is progressive under Tinubu’s rule? When the people of Ekiti perform backward feats in their voting choice would it not be because they are fighting for independence and don’t want a Tinubu et al. style of politics were only the children of the rich and mighty, the elites get into public position especially in a state like Ekiti where though educated, lots of its indigenes are from humble/poor backgrounds.
Compare the APC in Ondo State to that of Lagos, reports indicate that celebration broke out amongst youths in the state when primary results were announced with police having a hectic time curtailing the peaceful celebrations. Would that not be because Mimiko has delivered the state from Tinubu’s clutches and made it impossible for him to dictate candidates for the party in that state because that would have spelt doom for APC’s chances in the state? The youths were celebrating against Mimiko and PDP, but I tell you they should be thanking God instead for making it possible to elect their popular candidates unlike in Tinubu’s fiefdom in Lagos state.
In Lagos State, PDP would need in the first instance to elect the right candidate. I would go for Jimi Agbaje for his level-headed and matured style almost similar to Fashola, but if Obanikoro gets the nod and removes violence from his campaign (with his thugs killing people indiscriminately at campaigns like it happened in 2007) then even he can defeat Ambode (Tinubu’s choice) come 2015.
There is no Tinubu myth in Lagos or South-West its just the forces aligning in his favour in the past. The major bed-rock of APC in Lagos are the foot soldiers (both low-level, medium and high-level) once you deny the middle and high-level foot soldiers a chance to be part of the success they’ve all worked for in the state or at least give them a level-playing field to play politics and pursue their ambitions, then whilst they may not decamp from the party having being there since 1999, they are not be compelled to work for the party at the polls. They can either adopt passive resistance “siddon look” approach or an active resistance (which I prefer) and watch Tinubu, his nephews, family members, sons of his cronies and friends do the voters mobilisation and canvassing themselves and see how they win the state. PDP needs a candidate that would not run a campaign based on scaremongering, rumours, calumny, character assassination or violence but one based on facts, figures and evidences.
This article would conclude in its final part on what PDP may capitalise on and needs to do to likely win the state in
2015.

I disagree 100%. If you haven't been to akwa ibom, then don't compare Fashola with Akpabio and say Fashola performed 100% more than Akpabio. Let those who know akwa ibom and lagos be the judge here. Lagos is Lagos. Lagos has what no other state in Nigeria has. But the Akpabio's achivement, can stand alongside Fashola's achievement. As I said earlier, let people who know Akwa Ibom as much as I know it be the judge.

I refuse to be decieved by any party be it APC or PDP. Performance I insist is an individual thing, not a party thing. No party stops it's governors from performing.

Those governors you listed are massive failures. But I'd never blame their party . Instead I blame them and their supporters. PDP never stopped them from performing. They didn't perform because they didn't want to. Ironically, if any of those non performing governors decides to jump into APC today, APC would gladly receive them and even make them their flag bearers.

I've said my 2k. I don't vote for parties or look at parties. I'm not a politician and I won't be decieved by any politician. PDP and APC na the same thing filled with the same thieves, criminals and saints.

Politics › Re: Between Akinwunmi Ambode And Jimi Agbaje Who Is A Better Leader? by adadadon(m): 6:31am On Dec 09, 2014
Agbaje versus Ambode
These are the fundamentals.
1.He doesn't have any public service experience.
Ambode is more or less a professor in that regard.
In other words, he doesn't have an edge over Ambode
in terms of experience and attractiveness of CV.
2. Slice it anyhow, APC party structure is extremely
strong and far better than that of PDP in Lagos.
3. There is no doubt that Fasola and Tinubu groups can
and will always find a common ground to work
together. The APC is not factionalised, and will be going
to the elections as one united house. we are yet to see
if Koro can work with Bode George.
4. While APC campaign theme will center on
CONTINUITY with Fasola and Ambode campaigning
together, PDP theme on CHANGE can't really resonate
in a place like Lagos.
Religion won't be a factor; they are both Christians.
Both are coming from constituencies that are
demanding for governor. Agbaje from Ikorodu,
Ambode from Epe. So there is no inherent advantage
for Agbaje that an "opposition" candidates should
normally have.
So it's a campaign of Ambode is better than Agbaje,
Ambode will continue with Fashola projects and raise
the bar a notch higher, a campaign that we can not
afford to give Lagos to Bode George, a politically
rehabilitated ex-convict.

Since 860 is greater than 806 according to Jimi Agbaje and his party doctrines then Agbaje is a willing stooge of Bide George and his former ex convict Godfathers's integrity rubs of on him.

Agbaje versus Ambode
These are the fundamentals.
1.He doesn't have any public service experience.
Ambode is more or less a professor in that regard.
In other words, he doesn't have an edge over Ambode
in terms of experience and attractiveness of CV.
2. Slice it anyhow, APC party structure is extremely
strong and far better than that of PDP in Lagos.
3. There is no doubt that Fasola and Tinubu groups can
and will always find a common ground to work
together. The APC is not factionalised, and will be going
to the elections as one united house. we are yet to see
if Koro can work with Bode George.
4. While APC campaign theme will center on
CONTINUITY with Fasola and Ambode campaigning
together, PDP theme on CHANGE can't really resonate
in a place like Lagos.
Religion won't be a factor; they are both Christians.
Both are coming from constituencies that are
demanding for governor. Agbaje from Ikorodu,
Ambode from Epe. So there is no inherent advantage
for Agbaje that an "opposition" candidates should
normally have.
So it's a campaign of Ambode is better than Agbaje,
Ambode will continue with Fashola projects and raise
the bar a notch higher, a campaign that we can not
afford to give Lagos to Bode George, a politically
rehabilitated ex-convict.

Politics › Crisis In Lagos PDP As Bode George, Ogunlewe Tell "Koro You Cant Win Primaries" by adadadon(op): 12:02pm On Dec 08, 2014
The Elders Council of the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP may have finally sealed the political coffin of the former Minister of
state, Defense, Senator Musliu Obanikoro, as the council has declared that he was not electable and would not be allowed to emerge as the party’s standard bearer.

This was disclosed at a press briefing in Lagos by Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe. The council is headed by Chief Olabode George.

Ogunlewe, a former Minister of works, said the group and Lagosians were quite familiar with the negative image of Obanikoro as well as his records, declaring that “never again, we will never again return to Babylon. Never again will we allow people of doubtful character to rule this state, never again.”


While vowing that Obanikoro would not be picked by delegates at the PDP gubernatorial primaries today to fly the party’s flag in the 2015 poll, Ogunlewe counselled him to “be a game player and not a game spoiler.”

He said that PDP leadership had it on authority that Obanikoro was working for the opposition, adding that the Elders’ Council came about its position on Obanikoro in the interest of the electorate and Lagosians in general.

He said: “We want a candidate Lagosians will believe in, we want a candidate with appropriate pedigree; that would be a professional, very decent, a person that will not be controversial, that will be cool-headed and would be loved by all citizens.

“We don’t want hooligans again that will be carrying guns and fighting on the streets. We have passed that stage. We must move forward, Lagos is the centre of economic activities.


“We would not vote for him, never. All the leadership have agreed that we would not subject the people of Lagos State to that kind of impunity again, never. Never, because we are thinking of the electorate; and a party that does not think of the electorate is a foolish party.”

Ogunlewe said the party was determined to present a gubernatorial candidate that would be believed by Lagosians, a professional with appropriate pedigree, among others, adding that PDP will not by any means pick anybody who possesses qualities lower than Akinwunmi Ambode’s.

Continuing, Ogunlewe clarified the party’s position on Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, who claimed to have been hounded out of Lagos gubernatorial race, declaring him a migrant politician who did not obtain expression of interest form because he had no money to pay.

Ogunlewe said: “He didn’t belong to PDP, he has been in the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, CAN; he is a migrant politician, he should tell us which local government he belongs
.”

Dont know why im not impressed with this guy..most of what he listed is what a normal public administrator will do in Kenya or South Africa, not to talk of the western world..So to me i cant categorically call them achievements will be more of duties.

Supo Shashore/Abike Dabiri to me would take Lagos to a level where Fashola would seem like childs play
like Uduaghan did well in delta state
