jameshankss: Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
Nigeria has actually been locating criminals and has obliterated them out of existence.
Tinubu, Buhari and APC only located Kanu to lock him up in Sokoto.
Other criminals from Jagaban of Borgu’s northern region are being encouraged through negotiations, to continue wrecking Nigeria.

‘Tactical Ransom or Negotiation?’ Nigerians Question Tinubu, FG as Kebbi, Kwara Terrorists Go Scot-Free
Since the Nigerian government confirmed that the abducted 38 worshippers in Kwara State and the 24 Kebbi schoolgirls had been freed, many Nigerians have been awaiting updates about the arrest or killing of their abductors.
The silence of the federal and state governments on consequences for the perpetrators has led many to believe that the government likely negotiated with the terrorists and paid ransom to have the abductees released.
FIJ called the spokespersons of the Nigerian Army (NA) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Wednesday morning, but neither provided answers to questions about the abductors.
Shortly after Kebbi Governor Nasir Idris and Bello Matawalle, Minister of Defence, announced on Tuesday that the 24 students had been freed, the terrorists who abducted the girls released a video, saying the government negotiated with them for the girls’ release.
Image123: Lolz, because the protests are sponsored. The bulk of Nigerians are more sensible than burning down the country. We wise.
Are you saying that because of your knowledge about how Tinubu, Fayemi and Buhari sponsored Tunde Bakare to lead protests against fuel sector deregulation and subsidy removal reforms 14 years ago? This was a year after Buhari and Bakare lost elections o.
It was also three years before Tinubu begged Buhari out of retirement, so he could be repackaged as APC change messiah, to make Jonathan a one term president, thereby ending 16 years of PDP prosperity, peace and stability with cheap petrol, cheap dollars and less debt burden.
How much do you think you have paid as FORCED subsidy to Buhari and Tinubu in the last 11 years, due to the massive corruption in their oil sector
anonimi: Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC
January 19, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.
On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.
But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.
It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

christejames: The People's President, fire on... 🔥
Do you mean the pretentious guy below
NLCreator: Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.
There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.
Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.
The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.
While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.
“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.
“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.
“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”
Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Sule better focus on winning souls for Christ or go back to his original calling of fornication.
He obviously knows more about security than your idol who squeezes money out of Nigerians but has no clue how to safeguard the country.
Do you know why Tinubu fought for power, grabbed it and then hit the ground running cluelessly like a headless pig 🐖?
What does Tinubu deserve from patriotic Nigerians
Maxymilliano: The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained why he delegated some members of the party to respond to questions posed to him. According to the former Lagos Governor, he adopted the delegation method “to show team-ship”.
Tinubu spoke at the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation.
At the lecture, Tinubu after his opening remarks, assigned Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai to speak on how his (Tinubu-led) government would address insecurity and asked the Director of Strategic Communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.

HacheNoire: Inibehe Effiong has a right to his opinion and it’s not generic!
In same Nigeria, we the dedicated disciples and followers know His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is the best thing that happened to Nigeria since the creation of Earth.
The few like Inibehe Effiong who detest the demigod, will have to keep rambling till 2031.
Who God has blessed, no man can curse!
What do you gain by calling Tinubu a propagandist liar
May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu
According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”
On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.
Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.
Bentacur007: Mr Content Creator Focus on church business
The content creator is the naive politician who got kicked out of APGA in 2014 by his own protégé Obiano, after his failed attempt to be the godfather.
Thankfully, Atiku rehabilitated him five years later, from the political wilderness.
It’s obvious that Kwankwaso is hoping for 2031, if Tinubu fails to get a 3rd term for life president, which Obasanjo failed to get in 2007.
Interesting to see that unstable, unreliable, untrustworthy, zero principles, party hopping Utomi was ADC presidential candidate in the same 2007, after Atiku led other democratic heroes to kill the bill in the NASS despite Ghana must go bags of bribes.
lexylaw40: The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.
Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."
The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.
"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.
"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.
"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.
Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.
The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.
Ofunaofu: It shall never be well with those who worked for, supported, encouraged, and helped enthrone this APC regime.
As we speak, it is already not well with many of them. The regime they helped bring to power has succeeded in subjecting them to hardship, suffering, and even death.
We are no longer hearing, "Tinubu's government will favour me." Many of those who believed that are not even alive to receive that favour, let alone survive to enjoy it.
What of those who are too naive to give 100% tribalistic SE rigged votes to Tinubu indirectly, for his own turn at continuing APC extreme poverty and insecurity shege

Kindly share Tinubu’s tweet on this same incident.

anonimi: How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals
AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.
Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.
The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.
In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.
He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.
gabbytabby: According to Obasanjo his boss that is his modus operandi as desperate people do desperate things. Hence a tendency to keep jumping about including becoming a Dubai’s landlord.
No loyal or patriotic bone whatsoever. Known for selling the family silver.things
This Obasanjo who was pained by Atiku’s loyalty to the country and constitution in 2007, when he led other democratic heroes to kill the bill for 3rd term and life president?
Abi you are talking about the Obasanjo assessed Tinubu below?
gabbytabby: While you are busy organising your marabouts
Why would he need to do that, when patriotic Nigerians are working hard for a return to PDP prosperity, peace and stability built upon deregulation and privatisation policies for low unemployment, low debt burden, low insecurity, cheap petrol etc?
Would you rather continue with worsening APC extreme poverty and insecurity shege with Tinubu’s master strategy politicking
WizardOfNG: The bitter, frustrated and vitriolic Atiku sinking to a new low. It is now Remi Tinubu he wishes attack as if she has any executive power or authority.
While he is pretending to be concerned about the security of Nigeria, he should tell us why he was happy sojourning In Dubai for years, including under Buhari, while security got considerably worse in his region of origin and he said/did nothing.
Charity begins at home. A man who does not care to prioritise and tackle problems in his home will be concerned about the entire village how?
Are you not the bitter, frustrated, vitriolic person who is sinking to a new low with propaganda lies
ARISHEM: This is the reason why you and your goons kidnapped him so that people will turn up and vote out Tinubu.
Are you saying that because you know that was the plan used by master strategist Tinubu to make Jonathan a one term president in 2015? If this is true, it only means that the Lagos magician has failed to settle his terrorists and bandits fully, as they agreed in 2015 BC!!!
Tinubu begged Buhari to come out of retirement and replace Jonathan, packaged as APC messiah four years after he called him expired.
The results are out now and being felt by 200 million extreme poverty Nigerians, with worsening unemployment and insecurity from idle hands.
Benjanni: The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has provided further insight into ongoing political conversations concerning zoning, power sharing, and party affairs as Nigeria prepares for future electoral contests. During an interview aired on Channels Television, the former governor of Rivers State discussed several issues he believes are essential for sustaining political harmony, fairness, and national stability.
While speaking on the programme, Wike revisited discussions among prominent political figures regarding the allocation of major political positions between the northern and southern regions of the country. He explained that such conversations are intended to preserve equity within the political system and ensure that different parts of Nigeria have an opportunity to participate in national leadership.
Reflecting on one of those discussions, Wike recounted a conversation involving former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. According to him, “We told Atiku, ‘Allow the South to complete their tenure,’ and he replied, ‘No, we can’t do that.’” The minister cited this exchange while addressing the broader debate surrounding zoning arrangements and the principle of rotational leadership within political parties.
Wike noted that the concept of power rotation has long been a key element of Nigeria’s political landscape. In his view, it frequently shapes decisions related to candidate selection, leadership succession, and party planning. He argued that tensions often arise when previously accepted understandings regarding regional representation are disregarded, leading to disputes among party stakeholders.
The FCT minister further emphasized that adherence to informal political agreements can contribute significantly to stability within parties and the wider political environment. According to him, these arrangements have historically served as mechanisms for balancing competing interests among Nigeria’s various geopolitical regions while promoting a sense of inclusion and unity.
In addition, Wike stressed the need for fairness in the political process. He maintained that the pursuit of leadership positions should extend beyond personal aspirations and should also consider the broader objective of strengthening national unity. He argued that equitable representation remains an important factor in fostering trust, cooperation, and a sense of belonging among citizens and political actors alike.
Overall, Wike’s remarks highlighted the continuing relevance of zoning and rotational leadership in Nigeria’s political system, underscoring his belief that respecting established political understandings can help preserve balance, inclusiveness, and cohesion across the country.
givedemwotowoto: I have to make this important clarification for the 2027 Elections:
Nigeria has a voter turnout problem that needs to be addressed urgently. It can only be addressed if we hold ourselves accountable.
People argue that "many" people voted on election day in 2023. Those "many" people were only 26% of the registered voters.
Pay attention to the data:
93 million people were registered to vote in the 2023 elections. This represents 77% of all Nigerians of voting age.
87 million people collected their PVCs.
But only 24 million people showed up on election day to vote. Just 26% of registered voters.
In some states like Abia state, voter turnout was as low as 12%.
=================
Compare this number to the 2024 US election:
173 million Americans were registered to vote. This represents 73% of all Americans of voting age.
On election day, 65% showed up at the polls to vote. In some states, the turnout was over 75%.
=================
Compare 65% to 26%.
Low voter turnout helped Tinubu win election with only 8.7 million votes. Remember, 87 million people collected their PVCs.
If turnout is low again in 2027, it’s game over for opposition.
Show up at the PUs and overwhelm them. Vote and wait for votes to be counted, captured on camera. Don't forget to mention your PU name and date on camera while recording. Accompany them to INEC office and sleep there till results are announced.
This shouldn't be too much for any Nigerian to do knowing what's coming if Tinubu wins re-election.
How did low voter turnout influence Tinubu getting his own turn to continue APC extreme poverty shege, MORE THAN the rigged election results in the SE states that gave Obi 100% in the worst tribalistic zoning and rotation desire for sharing the national cake of corruption?
Which of the two issues helped Tinubu most in 2023
jameshankss: Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

NaijaRoyalty: …Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money
However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”
Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.
He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.
Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.
anonimi: The eyesore on Bourdillon Road 2nd January 2025
Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.
If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.
That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.
dmxnairaland: Kinda sounds like you're defending the deplorable state of Lagos, no?
The condition of whatever state I'm from isn't a valid excuse for the condition Lagos is in.
Lagos state's yearly budget is many many times more than that of most other states in Nigeria, even rivaling that of some nations, and Lagos is also the largest economic hub in West Africa.
With all that resource and opportunity, why is Lagos now such a mess? How can one defend that?
Anyways, to answer your question, I'm from Kwara....Hope you're satisfied.
How is your Otoge gómìnà of ìjọba mẹkunnu in Kwara state better than the four progreThief governors who have ruined Lagos State in 27 years of forever increasing tax burden on people that grew budget 100 times?
Nevertheless, only 5% of schools are owned by government, with Lagosians carrying kwashiorkor potbelly pregnancies from drinking water in shitty boreholes, because Tinubu’s master plan does not include employing well paid workers to make government services and utilities available for everyone.
Same of same useless rogues in Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC!!!
Babasessy: The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.
It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.
So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history. Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.
He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.
In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.
In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.
Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.
Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.
The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off. But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.
I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.
dmxnairaland: Because Lagos state is privileged by location and is also the former capital Nigeria.
If Lagos is strictly Yoruba Land as so many are claiming on this thread, doesn't that mean it is Yoruba that are accountable for it's sorry state?
Beyond all the tall buildings, recreational attractions and Luxury cars, Lagos is a garbage and sewage dumb with countless beggars on the streets and a transport system run by touts.
Tell me, as a Yoruba man....Are you proud of that?
What state are you from, which is not a garbage and sewage dump etc
Keme4Real: Hmmm. Make our leaders kwantinu to dey sleep
How can you believe all these propaganda lies against Tinubu and APC?

Buhari came and delivered what he promised.
Nigeria Boko Haram: Militants 'technically defeated' - Buhari Published 24 December 2015
Nigeria has "technically won the war" against Islamist Boko Haram militants, President Muhammadu Buhari says.
He told the BBC that the militant group could no longer mount "conventional attacks" against security forces or population centres.
It had been reduced to fighting with improvised explosives devices (IED) and remained a force only in its heartland of Borno state, he said.
Boko Haram has been described as one of the world's deadliest terror groups.
Critics of the government argue that it has exaggerated the scale of its success against the militants, and that each time the army claims to have wiped out Boko Haram, the militants have quietly rebuilt.
Nnamdd1: The Nigerian Army has handed over the flag of Boko Haram that was recovered from “camp zero” in Sambisa forest to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Major General Lucky Irabor, Theatre commander of Operation Lafiya Dole handed over the flag to Buhari at exactly 10:30 pm on Friday, December 30th, at this year’s regimental dinner organised by the presidential brigade of guards.
Speaking at Friday’s dinner, Irabor said troops arrested 1,240 suspected Boko Haram members during a mop-up operation inside Sambisa.
In his response, Buhari, who recounted how he was nearly killed even before he collected his first salary in the army stated that keeping Nigeria united was paramount.
“I believe you are here because you want to be here and you cannot complain. We will do our best to build the national institutions in the country,” he said.
“There are 250 ethnic groups, so keeping Nigeria one is a task that must be done. So even for a personal reason, you must make sure this country stays one and remain strong.”
On his part, Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai assured Nigerians that they will continue their onslaught in the north-east.
SHEREOG: This about cross river is so so true 90% of state communities doesn’t have light, good roads, good water and basic health care (i am a cross riverian ).
Any reason why you left out good public schools with enough teachers for all children?
Is education not the foundation for everything else
geoworldedu: True talk. However, as long as we keep mentioning Yoruba, Hausa , Igbo, Fulani, etc the country will never progress. It's better 8 countries emanate from this weak giant called Nigeria.
In person, Illbliss is a very humble and cool person. I like him for this.
Why have you failed to make your own senators and representatives of the past 27 years to include your desire for 8 countries, in the 5 amendments to the 1999 constitution so far
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has announced that the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have been successfully re-streamed after a nine-month rehabilitation exercise conducted by its in-house engineers and technicians.
The corporation, in a statement, noted that both plants commenced preliminary production of petroleum products after successful test-runs, adding that while PHRC was ramping up its operation to about 60 per cent of its 210,000 barrels per day capacity, WRPC production was projected to hit 80 per cent of its installed 125,000bpd capacity.
The NNPC said the Port Harcourt refinery was projected to boost the nation’s local refining capacity with a product yield of five million litres of petrol per day, while Warri refinery would contribute 3.5 million litres of petrol.
Providing insight into the rehabilitation exercise, the NNPC noted that it had to adopt the phased rehabilitation strategy after the Original Refinery Builders, who were initially contacted for the project came up with unfavorable terms.
It said, “Though a decision was taken in 2011 to rehabilitate all the refineries using the ORB of each of the refineries, we were impelled to switch strategy after the ORBs declined participation and nominated some partners in their stead who came up with outrageously unfavorable terms.”
The NNPC stated that the nominated partners, as sole-bidders, came up with humongous price offers after two years of thorough and exhaustive scope of work definition and price negotiations.
It added that the proxies were also unwilling to provide post rehabilitation performance guarantees.
The corporation said, “The phased rehabilitation strategy which entailed phased and simultaneous rehabilitation of all the refineries using in-house and locally available resources in line with the spirit and letter of the Nigerian Content Law, also involved the use of Original Equipment Manufacturer representatives to effect major equipment overhaul and rehabilitation.”
The national oil firm said the phased rehabilitation programme, which started in October 2014 after the required funding stream was established, created a 70 per cent reduction in costs which helped largely in mitigating the financing challenges of refinery rehabilitation.
It observed that with the successful re-streaming of the PHRC and WRPC, attention has now moved to the 110,000 barrels per day Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company which was billed to come on stream soon.
saintopus: Dec 06, 2024 The PH Refinery ships its first export of petroleum products to Dubai. The company is expected to load the cargo in the coming days onboard the Wonder Star MR1 ship, signalling the commencement of operations at the plant and the exportation of petroleum products.
The ship will load 15,000 metric tons of the product, which translates to about 13.6 million litres.
Although the volume coming from the NNPC into the global market is still small, the development has the potential to impact the Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) benchmarks in the future while changing the market realities for Atlantic Basin exporters into Nigeria and other regions.
The sulfur content of the export by NNPC stands at 0.26 per cent per wt and a 0.918 g/ml density at 15°C, according to Kpler, a data and analysis company.
The cargo was reportedly sold at an $8.50/t discount to the NWE 0.5 per cent benchmark on a Free on Board (FOB) basis.
Kpler reported that the development would help displace imports from traditional suppliers in Africa and Europe, as Nigeria’s falling clean product (CPP) imports are already decreasing, dragging imports into the wider West Africa region lower as well.
mcquin: He should start with power. No country truly develops without power.
Ofcourse, I can’t advise a man 100s of times richer than myself but then if it’s for reasons as patriotism and not the money he already has, Nigerians are pleading for investments in power. I pray this reaches him.
Fashola to Nigerians: 'If You Want to Have Stable Electricity Supply, Vote PDP Out in 2015'
Jul 11, 2014.
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, while marking his 2,600 days in office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof of the Lagos Television premises, has said voting out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power in next year’s general election is the only way the country can have stable electricity.
According to The Nation, Fashola said electricity crisis in the country is caused by lack of ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.
"Yes I agree with you that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity, we have to do the right thing. But you know what, the only way that you and I will have electricity in this country will be to vote out the PDP.
pendy79: Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.
Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.
The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.
While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.
He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.
The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis.
