Sincere 9gerian:
LIAR! I knew you'll fall for my trap. Now, let me flog you intellectually.

In November 2009, the Yar'adua govt announced a phased replacement of aircraft in the presidential air fleet. The govt put in motion arrangement to buy 4 new aircrafts between 2010 and 2012. This was widely reported. On of such reports is partly reproduced below:

"ABUJA - THE Federal Government has clarified that the proposed four new aircraft BEING (emphasis mine) procured for the Presidential Air Fleet are not meant for President Umaru Yarâ Adua and Vice President Goodluck Jonathan,but that they are to be used by the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Chief Justice of the Federation and other top principal officers ofthe central government.."- November 2009

So take your shameless lies and deceit elsewhere.

Broken TV:
if you will vote Jonathan against fashola hit like

tomakint: If they like, let them merge Fashola with Buhari and Tinubu, Jonathan will still flog anybody and anything called APC!

gratiaeo: Fashola ticket dead on arrival

Nelly Ghenghen:

This is sad, but the construction of that pedestrian bridge started not too long ago ooh!! get your facts right Op!! it started sometime towards the end of last year, and it was really going up quick.
That highway is very very dangerous, how couldn't they think to put a ped bridge there in the first place smh

blink182: your breed of foolishness is quite rare, I must commend you.


That aside, when is this man going to declare for presidency, I am tired of waiting. Not even for once has a rumour leaked that he is interested.

nnalove: off point no goodluck no nigeria comes 2015 believe it or leave it huh dat is d truth. Power must not go back to north again.

Tabawababy: Mtchewww... I have hair the song before.

billante:

That means his life will be a smooth ride cause most nigerian roads are turning to smooth rides!

Sincere 9gerian: That road is not as bad as before. Two construction companies did remedial work on the road between December 2012 and January this year.

However, full reconstruction of the road will commence this year because the road is one of the priority projects in the 2013 budget according to the ministry of works.

IGBO-SON:
Nice one! Though i think your thread title could do with a little tweaking, as Fashola didn't build anything (he'd have to be Superman to perf orm such a feat)......he signed the contract papers for Julius Berger to build it using Lagos tax payers money.

teskyg: We are tired of APC in Lagos.Talk to everyone in the streets of Lagos,do an opinion poll.The result is glaring.PDP need to get their ass together,present a credible and grassroot person and Apc is history in Lagos.

pleep: Only if she is a virgin. Im actually praying for that

chiover: bros! Ur points are very ok but,let me ask u dis simple quest. Are u aware dat d road in question belongs to FG? D Governor has no right to touch d road without putting word across to FG.

Billyonaire: There is no Amnesty yet, but is not ruled out. You do not give Amnesty to ghosts. Let them show themselves.

Gbawe.:
By the time GEJ is done with his crude, ultra-divisive and 'throwback' ways, even GEJ will be shouting "vote APC".

Maxymilliano: Summary of some APC points of action:

There is no country in the world that has made the transition from a poor and underdeveloped country to a rich developed country without industrialization. The new era that we must enter now has to embrace industrialization across the key sectors of our economy.

Through industrialization we can significantly transform our agriculture, information and communication technology and knowledge-based industries

No country in the world has become food secure by using traditional hoes, cutlasses and depending solely on rain-fed agriculture. We must make the shift to mechanized agriculture and irrigation watered agriculture for all-year farming.

We must also make an urgent departure from subsistent agriculture to large scale commercial agriculture with aview to attaining self-sufficiency in food production; agro-industrialization; infrastructural development for storage, processing and marketing agro-produce.

For these, a National Irrigation Schemes shall be provided; small-scale dams rather than large dams shall be constructed to avoid displacing small-scale farmers.

Communities shall be aided by Government matching grants to construct dams to provide irrigated water for all-year-round agriculture. In supplementing our protein needs, Aqua-culture shall form the cornerstone of protein improvement programme.

Actually, the APC has a comprehensive and to a large extent, radical interventionplans for the extractive industry, transportation and communication with emphasis on the overhauling of the air transport system, re-establishing the national carrier to be private sector-operated, incorporating global best safety practises.

The Party will invest in the rail component of the urban Mass Transit System ; and will not only continue with the process of revamping the railways but would also make funds available for purchasing of new rolling stocks and refurbishing of existing ones. Major agricultural and industrial parts of the country hitherto not reached by rail lines shall be effectively linked for ease of access and transportation of persons, goods and services.

Distinguished Ladies and gentlemen, may I crave your indulgence to put in perspective a few issues of misrepresentation being bandied around by the merger group, apparently occasioned by some form of inexplicable ignorance.

With desperation that blinds objectivity, the Coalition of three political parties has flung at us as many allegations and fraudulent assertions as they could lay their hands on, even on matters as straight forward as basic constitutional requirement for registration of political parties.

1. They said we did not apply to INEC for registration:

First and foremost, we applied to INEC through a lawyer, whose services we retained and our letter was duly submitted to INEC. Subsequent to that, we got a reply from INEC stipulating requirements and preconditions for registration (Display letter).

2. They said we have not paid a kobo of the processing fee to INEC, the precondition for processing an application:

Contrary to the hallucinations of the Merger group, within the period we paid the N1million administrative and processing fee stipulated by the Commission. (Display receipts).

3. They said we are faceless:

Actually, we would have engaged them long ago, but we had work to do! And since they found it more rewarding idling away on the pages of newspaper, we let them enjoy their sports while we pursued an aspiration we had held so dear and close for the greater part of two years now.

Today we have submitted the long list of requirements as prescribed by INEC and have completed the constitutional demand on us for registration as a political party.

Accordingly, INEC has duly acknowledged our submission and this is the INEC endorsed letter to that effect (Display).

So ladies and gentlemen, we can now get down to specifics:

Has the Merger group submitted any application or registration material to INEC?

The answer is NO!

Does the noisy grandstanding and in the words of Lai Mohammed, ‘constructive knowledge’ or public knowledge of the Merger group translate to application or advancing registration materials to INEC?

The answer is NO!

Can a party which has shown a total lack of capacity in taking care of the least basic responsibility in the process; for a political association that seeks registration be taken serious beyond their worth in the news stands?

And the answer is NO!

If the Merger Group was sincere in the quest for an alternative platform for Nigerians, they should have settled down to build it. But of course, they cannot because they are used to BUYING IT! Now their frustration has found the usual outlet in name-calling and wolf-calls; all of which amounts to unproductive brinkmanship that does not and can never translate to registration of a political party.

We wish to remind you that when the Merger group claimed and announced our Acronym ‘APC’ for their party, we were compelled to react but an emergency meeting of the party was all that it took to come to terms with reality. And we reasoned: The Merger group has all the funds and connections to fast track their registration at our detriment, and with their unlimited media space, justify such action no matter how loud we protested.

We had no legal claim to the acronym.

And that is the message we have for all those that feel threatened by our emergence: No one has any legal claim to an acronym without fulfilling the stipulated constitutional procedures and requirements!

As a party we want the APC to be our bridge to the future, shedding our infatuation with the past

TODAY, WE CALLED YOU ALL HERE TO INFORM YOU OF OUR COMPLETION OF THE REQUIRED CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL PROCESS FOR REGISTRATION OF A POLITICAL PARTY. AS YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE WE HAVE OFFICIALLY OPENED OUR NATIONAL HQRS FROM WHERE,WE ARE ADDRESSING YOU TODAY. WE HAVE OFFICIALLY FILLED OUR APPLICATION AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 78 OF THE ELECTORAL ACT IN THE FORM OF FORM PA.1 (SHOW COPY).

WE HAVE EQUALLY PAID ALL THE PROCESING FEES FOR REGISTRATION, PROVIDED OUR NATIONAL OFFICE AND OFFICERS, PRODUCED OUR MANIFESTO, OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR LOGO, FLAG, EMBLEM. ETC, COPIES OF WHICH WE HAVE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU GENTLEMEN OF THE PRESS.

NOW THE FACTS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. WE ARE WAITING TO BE ISSUED OUR CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION IN THE COMING DAYS BY INEC IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE ELECTORAL ACT.

We have a firm resolve to fast-track the reform of the education sector. There is no precedent in history, where a country has made the transition to a rich and modern society without a critical mass of the population becoming qualitatively literate and numerate. The Far East countries that are now the models we want to emulate in our Vision 20:2020 have made sure that transition to high school is over 95% in the last 45 years or so. We can make it happen with relevant and qualitative intervention in our education sector and providing wider latitude for technical education.

Even more, we shall accelerate the resolution of problems and challenges in our education sector, including providing opportunities to young people out of school to access the necessary training and retraining opportunities for a new industrial economy.

This is so because the APC views education as a cardinal social objective that must be pursued vigorously by the state. It is an important social instrument for national enlightenment and unity amongst the diverse peoples of Nigeria.

In conformity with the provisions of the Constitution the APC shall pursue a foreign policy of mutual co-existence through bilateral and multilateral agreements. APC government shall observe international conventions and obligations of regional and international organizations of which Nigeria is signatory to.

While focusing on Africa and the third World as the center piece of Nigeria’s foreign policy, the APC government would resist imperial re-colonialism, discrimination and all forms of undue external interference.

We shall deploy the politics and economic instrument of diplomacy as our standard foreign policy strategy.

We shall vigorously pursue our brand of Citizenship Diplomacy that is centred solely on protecting the interest of Nigerian citizens wherever they may be around the world.

Suffice it to say that an APC-led federal government would not sit to negotiate bilateral relations with any nation where as much as one Nigerian citizen is abused or unjustly deprived, until such anomaly is redressed.

Details of our policy plan are contained in our manifesto, however, be assured that we are clear about the points of action and areas of action we seek to pursue. And indeed, we will take action – not just talk.

And like Margaret Mead most succinctly put it, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

So fellow Nigerians, and especially young Nigerians, this is the time to take charge of our destiny. We bring you the people’s alternative, the future of Nigeria and the future of Africa. Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you… your party… the APC, AFRICAN PEOPLE’S CONGRESS.

Thank you all and God bless!

CHIEF (HON) ONYINYE. M IKEAGWUONU (JP)

PROTEM NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF APC (AFRICAN PEOPLE’S CONGRESS)

tommykiwi: Who else you want us to vote for? Is clear you be Northerner, is better we vote in PDP rather dat vote in Boko boyz to rule us....

Billyonaire: Today is saturday here in Nigeria, its weekend here. I guess you are in Mars.

Billyonaire: Do you believe that anyone can pay someone to be in Nairaland, that will be an unwise investment. Last I checked, it doesnt work that way.

Billyonaire: No Sir, The Presidency had already planned a visit to Maiduguri, Yobe etc from March 7th, so an insider in the Presidency may have informed the opposition and they decided to rush there just to make President's visit reactionary. If you know what goes on in the inside of Presidency you wont sleep at night. Just love this President, he is a great guy. Should I rather trust this country in the hands of Buhari, a known rep of Boko Haram and his friends in fraud. I wont take that risk, my vote is my power, my loyalty is to Nigeria and the President cos he was voted by the greater majority.

gramci:

Must you attack his person, focus on the issue. Any fool can resort to name calling, enough of this "motor park" approach to issues. Shikena

salt 1:

Thaaaaaank you!
Instead of accusing and criticizing, show us concrete evidence of how Borno, Yobe, Nassarawa, OSun etc are better governed and better developed.
I am non-partisan: I voted Fasola and GEJ.
Those parading as our Messiahs should bring their credentials to the public domain and let's assess them. Each state govt receives allocations and while Amaechi, Chime and Akpabio are transforming their states, others are busy struggling to call others thieves and criminals.

thelastPope: The character of a man will always come to the fore no matter how much he pretends to be something else.

Fashola agreed to fuel subsidy removal and turned around and betrayed the agreement

Fashola used okada during his governorship campaign and turned on them after he became governor

Fashola had an agreement with doctors before the election and reneged after the election and went ahead and fired all 788 of them when they protested

Now again, Fashola agrees to good governance tour then turns around and betrays it again. Tells a lot about the man's character.

Pygru:
why don't u counter what he has said instead of insulting.
