Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

It's PDP and GEJ that should be blamed na.

Nigeria should not have anything less than US$100bn in our external reserves even with chopping in govt but what has happened is that all the years of oil boom didn't mean increased foreign reserves. They ate all the money, bought boats and real estate and jets everywhere. Now, there is no buffer for the economy in the event that a shock comes. Coupled with the price of oil in the global market and the promise of increased oil production globally in 2016 leading to a glut in the supply of oil, we are in for very tough times.

In short, what has happened is that we are eating once a day now so that should a famine comes, we will have something to feed on for some time. Don't blame Buhari. He has come to help.

If you like abuse me but I have just painted the easiest scenario for anybody to interpret easily.

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct

Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that [size=14pt]the states had requested for $2bn[/size] to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.

ROTIMI: Make we no go end up for that side o! (prison)

SARAKI: God forbid! I will talk to Osibanjo, he's more gentle than Buhari!

barcanista:
Since I was born, I have never witness the kind of hypocrisy, double standard and demonisation that is currently perpetrated by Muhammadu Buhari, the APC, Alhaji Sanusi, Osinbajo and their "good governance crusaders" against the person of President Goodluck Jonathan, Allison Madekwe, and other government officials.

Alhajis Buhari and Sanusi and APC have been going about using every platform to talk about a "missing $20b", cheered by their hypocritical followers that pride themselves as good governance crusaders. They have deliberately gone blind over the fraud of CBN under Sanusi as outlined by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria report in February 2014.

Sanusi Indicted And Removed For Fraud
According to the report (see below) Sanusi was indicted for Gross Misconduct that bothers on fraud and financial recklessness among other offence. The FRCN subsequently advised Mr President to remove Lamido Sanusi from office for further investigation and probe after the explanation of Sanusi appeared more like a tale and outrightly illogical according to FRCN. The council indicates that the explanation provided by Sanusi is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”

The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”


April 2014: VP-elect Yemi Osibanjo Filed Case To Stop Sanusi Probe
Rather than Sanusi to prove his innocence in court, he filed a case in Federal High Court, Lagos to STOP FRCN and Other Security Agencies from investigating and prosecuting him through three Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, Dr. Kanyinsola Ajayi and Kola Awodien.
http://www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=24587

13 May 2014: Lagos Judge Tshoho Grants Sanusi Prayers
High Court Judge John Tshoho rather than uphold the constitutional powers of FRCN to investigate probe Sanusi, he granted the prayers of Lamido Sanusi and BARRED FRCN from further investigation or probing Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. In his own words...
“Prejudice is very pronounced in the language of that document. The language of the briefing note (transmitted by the FRCN to the presidency) conveys a sense of the defendant desperately goading the presidency to deal with the plaintiff,”
“The plaintiff submitting himself for investigation (by FRCN) is like the cockroach finding itself in the midst of fowls. Such a cockroach cannot be innocent,”.
http://www.tv360nigeria.com/?p=11923

Despite the fact the President Jonathan commissioned PWC to audit NNPC books to ascertain the veracity or otherwise of Sanusi's claim, Buhari, APC, Sanusi and their online agents that parade themselves as good governance and anticorruption apostles have been crying blue murder but refused to comment on the FRCN report nor the APC's VP elect role in shielding Sanusi for probe.

April 26, 2015: Buhari's Display of Hypocrisy
In his usual hypocrisy, General Buahri vowed to re-visit the $20b allegation but said NOTHING about the FRCN report. In his own word... “Imagine a situation where the former CBN governor who by God ‘s grace would later become the  Emir of Kano raised an  issue of missing billions of money, not in Naira but in Dollars, $20 billion.
“What happened, instead of investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not, they simply found a reason to remove him. So these are the issues we are talking about…"
Contrary to the lies of Alhaji Buhari, Sanusi wasn't removed because he raised alarm, he was removed because he was indicted by FRCN. Jonathan also never kept mute, he commissioned PWC to audit the books. Buhari was also blind to talk about prosecuting Sanusi for the CBN fraud. Perhaps the Emir is as "incorruptible" as him(Buhari)

Technical Consultants Advised Amaechi Against Monorail Project After Collecting N22bn

As the Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by the Rivers State Government to probe the sale of valued assets of the state and other matters continued its sitting on Friday, the technical consultant to the state on the monorail project, Arcus Gibbs revealed that he advised former Governor Chibuike Amaechi against continuing with the project.

Managing Director of Arcus Gibbs Nig Ltd, Wiero Viguezang, however said his company gave the advice only after collecting N22.9bn from the Rivers State Government since its services were enlisted in March 1, 2010.

Viguezang spoke when he appeared before the commission to explain the role played by his company in the monorail project being probed by the commission.

While being cross-examined by counsel to the commission, Dr. Zaccheus Adangor, Viguezang, stated that the monorail project was no longer tenable considering the shortfall in the state’s revenue and the inability of its original technical and equity partners, TSI Nig Ltd, headed by the former military administrator of Rivers State, Brig-Gen Anthony Ukpo (Rtd.), to fulfil its obligations to contribute 80 per cent of its equity holdings.

He disclosed that the state owes his company N1.1bn for its services.
He also said the company had in a letter to the Rivers State through the ministry of transport, in April, made a six-point recommendation to the Rivers State on how to unbundle the monorail project in such a way that the state government can salvage some financial benefits out of the N33.9bn so far invested in the project. The monorail project was originally estimated to cost about Euros2250m.

The technical partner had in its sixth point of recommendation suggested to the Rivers State Government to unbundle the monorail project and approach the manufacturers of the mechanical components and rail tracks in Germany and exploit the possibility of reselling components at a lower price to the manufacturers.

He said the company also advised the state government to consider the option of using the monorail facilities for other commercially viable purposes, mentioning the spaces between pillars and surrounding areas of the monorail project, stressing that the area between Azikiwe Road and the UTC axis could be put into very fruitful commercial purpose.
Viguezang also told the commission that his company and the state government had planned to unveil the monorail project last April specifically to mislead the people of Rivers State into thinking that the project, which has gulped N33.9bn, was still on course.

He admitted that his company wrote a memo to the commissioner for transport to arrange the unveiling of the project essentially for media coverage since the project was “technically uncompleted”.

According to Viguezang, “We actually wrote to the ministry of transport in January, to arrange for the governor to unveil the monorail project in April for the attention and coverage of the media based on the expectation of the people of the state.”

When asked to clarify if the unveiling was to deceive the people of Rivers State into believing that the controversial monorail project was ready, Viguezang admitted; “It was to deceive the people into believing that the monorail project was at last ready”.

The managing director, however, stressed that “apart from the media coverage and public attention that it is expected to generate, the monorail was not technically and commercially ready. Only phase 1a within phase 1 of the project was ready. So, there was no way the public would have been able to use the monorail as at April when we asked the ministry of transport to unveil the project to the media”.

Viguezang admitted that the Rivers State government enlisted services of Arcus Gibbs at the cost of N600 million from March 1, 2010 to December 1, 2010, after the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with TSI collapsed because TSI could not raise revenue to fulfil the payment of its 80 per cent equity share capital.

He stated that part of its role as the technical service provider to the Rivers State government concerning the monorail project was to evaluate and assess the activities of TSI and give an independent opinion to the Rivers State government.

GEJ is not there?

chino11:
- Confined to Minna Hilltop Residence
- Sambo pays him solidarity visit
- Returns to Germany in the new year

FORMER Military President Ibrahim Babangida's recent medical trip overseas is causing serious concern to his friends and associates, especially those from the Northern part of the country. IBB as he is popularly called was seriously ill recently and had to be rushed to Germany for treatment. Their concern was heightened by the information that the former president may have been advised by doctors to restrict his presence at public functions and to quit political activities.

However, contrary to the impression being giving that he went on his yearly medical examination overseas, National Daily competent sources said that the former military ruler's health may have taken a turn for the worst as he was not really himself at the time of departure until few days after intensive medical care by a team of doctors at the hospital. “It is true that Babangida suffered from radiculopathy, an ailment associated with disease of the bone which was said to have been aggravated by a gunshot wound during the civil war, but along the line he became stricken by yet another ailment which has allegedly slowed him down so much, an inside source said, adding that “Babangida was not able to walk by himself; he was carried by his aides into the chartered airplane that flew him to Germany for urgent medical treatment.

Cause for concern

During his eight year tenure, Babangida visited France and Germany several times to receive treatment over his worrisome disease of radiculopathy and returned seemingly hale and healthy.

“But that is not exactly the true situation, throughout his time in office he constantly complained of his leg problem. He suffered excruciating pain in the leg which made him sometime not to stay too long in office during official duty hours. Sometimes, he needed a more quiet time to himself so that the pain will abate.”

National Daily learnt that before his latest trip overseas, Babangida was feeling dizzy and wobble when he walks. The situation got to appoint that he collapsed one day when he was in the midst of his associates in his Hilltop mansion, Minna.

“Let me tell you the truth, IBB has not been feeling well for sometimes, in the past four months he cut down on his public outing and the frequency of his business meeting. The symptoms of his latest ailment started during the jostle for the endorsement of Northern political forum as the single presidential candidate from the North; when we noticed that IBB was slowing down at a speed between his spritely movements.”

Competent sources said Babangida initially consulted with his personal physician who after examining him recommended that he goes oversea for comprehensive medical treatment.

Sources said that Babangida traveled oversea for about a month and according to the advice of his personal doctor demanded that a thorough examination should be carried out on his vital body organs such as kidney, liver and intestine. A team of doctors using the most modern sophisticated medical equipment were said to have cautioned the retired General after the examination to tone down his social, political and business commitments in other to safeguard his health which is not “too sound” anymore.

However, another competent source close to Babangida, re-assured that there is no cause for alarm stressing that Babangida travels oversea regularly for medical treatment. “You know that he suffers a very serious leg injury which is a result of a gunshot during the civil war. He is managing it very well.

Moreover, IBB is no longer a young man. He is 70 years old. So as an old man, he may not escape the degenerative disease of old age. There is no ominous cloud; Baba is just observing house rest after his medical trip overseas.”

Babangida sources said plans to return to Germany early 2012 for continuation of medical treatment as recommended by his foreign doctors.

IBB slows down

However, Mohammed, Aisha and other offspring of the former military ruler are said to be worried about their fathers poor health condition and allegedly advised him to “slow down” and learn to take things “easy”.

“Since his return from Germany, Babangida has not honoured any invitation to a social functions or attend to end of year meeting of his vast businesses rather he has mandated his son, Muhammed to represent his interest. It is true that most of Babangida's businesses are managed by appointed proxies, but before now he personally presided over meetings held in his Hilltop, Minna, residence for thorough briefing on the state of his businesses, but it seems that his son Mohammed is in charge now,” an inside source said.

Notable members of the Arewa Consultative Forum including the president Alhaji Aliko Mohammed and the secretary, Colonel Musa Shehu were said to have visited IBB expressing their joy on his return from medical treatment overseas. Former head of state, General Abdulsalam Abubakar has been sighted several times at the Hilltop mansion. Northern governors, including Alhaji Babangida Aliu of Niger State, Usman Dakingari of Kebbi State were said to have also paid solidarity visit to the aging former president at his Hilltop mansion in Minna. Retired military officers, including former Director of Military Intelligence (DMI) Brigadier-General Halilu Akilu and Business mogul Mike Adenuga were sighted at IBB's residence recently.

Competent sources said that northern leaders are secretly worried about Babangida's poor state of health given his role as the former military president who mostly protected the interest of the North when he was office and one of the northern rulers with enormous contacts across the country and in the international community. They allegedly believe that having a former president like Obasanjo from the South in the ruling People's Democratic Party, it is necessary that the north has another person of stature like Babangida.

“If Babangida curtails his political activities it will not be in the interest of the north. Forget about the fact that he was not selected by NPF, when he aspired for president; he is still revered by the north. Babangida is one of the northern leaders living today that can credibly speak for the north. He has enormous clout and influence across the country even the whole world.”

Presidential ambition

National Daily learned that the activities of the past one year in which IBB forth to become president of Nigeria again, may have adversely affected the retired amour military officer severally. He was also said to be devastated that he failed in his ambition which he deeply desired to correct his past mistakes and restore his legacy in the anal of Nigeria history.

“He gave his presidential aspiration everything he had, His funds, ideals, strategy and contact. Some Nigerians wanted him to return to power but Northern political leaders Forum betrayed him. IBB was blocked by his own Arewa's brothers who rigged the outcome of the selection process between him and Atiku (Abubakar). Naturally, he felt bad, he is a human being.”

Babangida has been under intense pressure from his friends to take another wife after the death of his wife, Maryam. Apart from needing someone to sooth his old age; it is important to have a companion who will act as step another to his children.

However, IBB was said to be humiliating to contract a second marriage again especially in his old age. He allegedly argued that he had a very intimate relationship with his late wife who he said was loyal and obedient to him throughout her life time. So, he would not want to do anything to offend her memory.

“His friends make reference to (Chief Olusegun) Obasanjo who is only separated from his wives but in other to have a companion, picked a new wife recently. They advised IBB to make a choice from some of his female friends who visit him at the hilltop mansion” our source said.

However, it was learnt that IBB's children are not in totally in support of their father taking a second wife. They are afraid that a new woman will cause a decision between them and their father in other to gain his full attention and to take country.

“They want to jealously guide what it theirs. They don't want another woman to come and reap where she did not sow. Another woman to come and reap where she did not sow. Another woman may give birth to her own children who could support their mother in causing skirmishes and demand their own share of Babangida's estate if he is no more”

Sambo visits

Vice President Namadi Sambo last week visited Babangida's Hilltop residence in Minna. Competent sources said that his visit may not be unconnected with the information about the former military ruler's state of health.

“Sambo was sent by President Goodluck Jonathan to pay solidarity visit to IBB. He was concerned when information filtered into ASO Rock that IBB is very ill.

The president appreciates that IBB is an elder states man and former Nigeria's Head of state. He has contributed enormously to the peace, Unity and development of this country. Sambo was said to have conveyed Jonathan's message to IBB during his visit. It is also important to note that Sambo also visited in his capacity as a northern leader. It is his responsibility to pray for the soonest recovery of a fellow leader of the north who is sick.”

Sources said that on arrival on IBB's residence, a feeble and the vice president who remained with him for about an hour.

The vice president before leaving for Abuja also conferred with the emir of Minna Alhaji Umar Farouk Bahago on issues suspected to brother on Boko Haram and IBB's poor health.

Babangida was rushed overseas in November for an urgent medical treatment in a German Hospital sources said that Doctors recommended that Babangida gets admitted for a long time to enable a team of doctors monitor his recent ailment and thoroughly give him medical treatment.

However, after the initial treatment it was agreed that Babangida will return to German early in the New Year to continue treatment.

GMB‬ Speech While Addressing Nigeria Community In The United Kingdom.


I Will Maintain a modest lifestyle as President -Muhammadu Buhari.

“One of the major killers of our economy apart from corruption is waste. Our scarce resources are being plundered away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet. What do you call that? Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses.

You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so many aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton.

Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our high level of poverty, lack and joblessness. Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year. Now, for me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy. We intend for instance, to bring back our National carrier, the Nigerian airways. [size=14pt]We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airways[/size] and within a year increase the fleet into about 20.

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.
