It is clear that OBJ's actions are dealing deadly blows to Jonathan's camp. For the robots that would likely come in here to say that he's not needed, your paymaster has agreed that 'Ebora Owu' is his political father and god, hence, the need for him to trash him is allowed.

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.

There was absolutely no basis for such a seizure. Let us even assume that the state government erred in creating the 36 additional local governments in 2003, the government reversed itself after the intervention of some elders in the south-west axis of the country. Still, the Obasanjo government only released about N24 billion out of the about N34 billion that it withheld. This was enough indication that it only used the creation of the local governments as a smokescreen to deal with the Lagos State Government. Even when the Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Government had no right to withhold the funds, the Obasanjo government pretended not to understand English language. Out of mischief, it returned to the apex court, ostensibly for it to interpret its ruling. In anger, the justices retorted that they wrote their judgment in English Language and that there was nothing ambiguous in it. Continued cries by the Lagos State Government to the Federal Government fell on dear ears and the Obasanjo government stood by its illegality to the end.

Buhari faults crackdown on Boko Haram

Presidential candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 Presidential election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has frowned on the emergency rule in parts of the North. He alleged that innocent civilians were being killed in the states.

Buhari speaking during a Liberty FM Hausa Service Programme, Guest of the Week, on Sunday in Kaduna said that [size=13pt]Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished[/size] unlike the “special treatment” given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government.

Obasanjo dispels Yar'Adua death rumour
Mar 7, 2007

Nigeria's President Olusegun Obasanjo spoke publicly on telephone here Wednesday with Umaru Yar'Adua, presidential candidate of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to dispel rumours that the latter had died in Germany.
Yar'Adua, 55, was flown to Germany for medical treatment Tuesday night after he reportedly collapsed in Abuja, following a gruelling campaign schedule ahead of next month's poll.
Early Wednesday, rumours spread in Nigeria that Yar'Adua had died in Germany, provoking reactions from the PDP, his family and the presidency, among others.
Campaigning in his home town of Abeokuta in Nigeria's South-west, Obasanjo phoned the PDP candidate on his hospital bed and routed the call through the public address system so that party faithful could hear the conversation.
"I am alright, very fine, very fine indeed sir.
I am not dead, I am very much alive sir," Yar'Adua told the President during the five-minute conversation.
On his ailment, the PDP flag-bearer told Obasanjo that his doctors had diagnosed "just a slight infection that will soon be treated," adding that he had been assured that no surgery was required.
The local media had speculated that Yar'Adua had a kidney disease.
At the end of the conversation, Obasanjo slammed those who originated the rumour as "wicked and heartless," saying: "Nobody knows who will die tomorrow except God.

Fashola sends dad abroad for medicare
As the crisis rocking the state's health sector worsens
MAY 13, 2012

Ademola Fashola, the father of Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, has been flown to the United States for medical attention for an undisclosed ailment, as the crisis rocking the health sector in the state continues.

The governor's father was said to be accompanied by two doctors from the state, one of who is the Medical Director of Ebute-Metta Health Centre, F. O. Williams.

The governor, on Monday, sacked 788 striking doctors following their failure to respond to queries issued to them to defend the strike action.

The doctors had gone on a three-day warning strike to press for the full implementation of an agreement reached with the state government over an improved salary structure called CONMESS.

A senior official of the state government, who did not want his name published, confirmed that the elder Fashola had been evacuated from the country before the strike.

"I also heard about it but it didn't happen during the ongoing crisis," he said. "I heard that his father had been flown out before the strike started at all."

As at the time of this report, Dr Williams could not be reached as calls made to his mobile phone were unsuccessful.

Following the sacking of the doctors and their subsequent forced eviction from their staff quarters, the state government announced that it has employed 373 substitute doctors into its health system.

The state' Commissioner for Health, Jide Idris, also said more applications have been received from doctors interested in working in state-owned hospitals.

However, checks at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) and some other state-owned hospitals revealed that many of the new doctors were yet to resume; thus jeopardising the fate of hundreds of sick residents.

One of the affected doctors, who also did not want his name published, claimed that the governor once stated, during one of their negotiations, "that he has no need for public hospitals".

"Fashola told us that he doesn't use facilities in state hospitals and that whatever project he carries out there is not for himself," he said.

The doctor also claimed that former Lagos State Governor and Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) chieftain, Bola Tinubu, last year, at a meeting to broker peace between the state government and the doctors, said the state could afford to shut down all its public hospitals.

"Tinubu told us that if his mother fell ill, he could afford to fly her outside the country and even pay the bills if all residents visited private hospitals," he added.

When contacted, Idris confirmed that the governor's father was recently flown abroad, but on a referral from LASUTH. "He was attended to at the teaching hospital; and it was at the teaching hospital that he was referred abroad," he said, while refusing to state the nature of Fashola's ailment.

ZombieNation:
The canker worm Tinubu was the first governor to turn state house of assemblies to rubber stamps.

The Lagos state national assembly passed a pension bill for elected officials which included Tinubu.

Under the bill, Lagos is saddled with maintaining Tinubu for the rest of his life on the prevailing full salary a sitting governor is entitled to.

The pension bill for Tinubu also includes choice properties bought and paid for by the state in Abuja, Lagos and abroad.

Tinubu also has the choice of 5 executive cars to be replaced every 5yrs.

Recall also that Tinubu is on record to be the only elected governor in the history of modern democracy to have had 4 deputies in 8yrs!

The man is a rotten egg who spear headed corruption in Nigeria to new levels and the financial bankruptcy of acn states under his leprosy grip is evidence of his systematic kleptomaniac.

VIPERVENOM:
After supporting buhari all this while, now after jumpin ship cos of security and bread its definitely the wrong time for the op to say anything cos it really makes him look very stùpid

berem:
hey dumbo,are you sure you understood what that guy you quoted wrote?

Caseless:
well he's being paid in his own coin. Again, would you have wished obj handed power back to IBB? You celebrated when his political gimmick gave birth to gej's presidency.

Caseless:
we love the story like puccy especially when it shows how ungrateful gej is to have made those that helped him to the top his sworn enemies. Nothing depicts a man's downfall than seeing him fighting his once known allies and friends.

Like someone said, obj= obasanjo bomb Jonathan... We love this.

not4sure:
No Amechi will not win rivers state for APC bro but instead of Jonathan having a huge percentage in rivers as 2011, it will be reduced. and look it at in this way the state with popluation in this country are stronghold. in Nigeria democracy today this count so much. And if Buhari will win this Election, For now the odd still in his favour considering the Last Year Election result.

nkowaputa:
Buhari is a man full of contradictions.
- He will fight corruption but Tinubu is his
friend.
- He will give us security but he was pushed out
of office like a chicken by his subordinates.
- He is honest but lies about his qualification.
- He has no N 27 million to buy presidential
nomination form but the wife has N 135 million
worth of drugs to donate.
- He is poor but all his children schools abroad.
- He will fight terrorism but sees others fight
against terrorism as anti-north.
- He will help the youth but is never known to
have helped a single almajiri even in Daura.
- He will fix the economy but can only boast of less than 1m in his account after all these years.
- He will fix education but is unschooled
himself.
- He wants to benefit from democracy but
overthrew a democratic government.
- He obtained school certificate but cannot
produce "the certificate".
May God protect us from this hypocrite.
