Reacting further, Amaechi said, ”He only promised to do and not what he had done. Our responsibility is to get a man who is capable of making things happen. He told us to vote for him that he will do.”
Do you know what I call him now? I will do president. If you listen to his speech all he keep saying is I will do and not I have done. You will agree with me that all the projects in south south region of the country were erected by a northerner.
This Donatus General (DG) to Buhari get mouth plenty, I swear. The only problem is that's all he's got. NOTHING else.
Amaechi who for eight years could not complete less than 1km of light rail =>
Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has said the controversial monorail project he initiated would not be completed by his administration. He added that those expecting his government to execute more projects to have a rethink because, “we are looking for money now.”
The governor stated this yesterday in Port Harcourt, the state capital during a phone-in radio programme as part of his tour of media houses in the state.
is talking about our able and dedicated PERFORMER of a president =>

Skillbobralph: Edo PDP Lawmaker Feared Killed By Alleged APC Thugs
The political crisis rocking the Edo State House of Assembly worsened Tuesday night following the attack on Hon. Rasak Momoh and his colleagues by thugs suspected to be loyal to All Progressives Congress (APC).There were conflicting reports on the condition of the lawmaker who was reportedly rushed to the University of Benin Teaching hospital, Benin. One account claimed he did not survive the attack.
Momoh, who recently dumped APC for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was allegedly attacked by hordes of armed thugs reportedly led by Hon. Phillip Shuaib (Majority Leader of Edo State House of Assembly). Momoh represents Etsako 1 constituency, with Shuiab representing Etsako 2, constituency of Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
Eyewitnesses told Pointblanknews.com that dangerous weapons such as gun, axes, machetes and cudgels were said to have stormed Momoh’s and his colleagues house in the legislators’ quarters and unleashed terror on the lawmaker.“It was like a war zone. They must have been about 20 of them. We saw Shuiab leading them and chanting war songs, threatening to deal with Momoh for embarrassing Governor Oshiomhole. We had to run for dear lives,” a lawmaker told Pointblanknews.com on the telephone.
Pointblanknews.com could not get the hospital to comment on the lawmaker’s condition. Lately, Rasak had squared up against APC, his former party.He had recently accused the party of propaganda, dictatorship, forging his signature as a member of the APC faction of the assembly. The result of police investigation is due this week. Razak’s defection had reportedly upset Governor Oshiomhole, who had often called the lawmaker “my brother.
The lawmaker and some of the defected colleagues who recently called on all Nigerians to come to Edo state and see for there eyes instead of reading mysterious articles which is not on ground in Edo State and accused the government of Adams Oshiomole as a failure and also accuse them of spending Edo State money on media to publish what is not going on in Edo State.
No wonder the old pensioner wants to dash N5,000 to 25 million unemployed people for a total of N1.5 trillion in 12 months i.e. 1/3rd of our 2014 budget. That na real archaic economy of dash dash to create more almajiris and area boys instead of providing infrastructures, facilities and utilities coupled with sound economic policies for an enabling environment to private investors who can create jobs so we can earn a living in DIGNITY. This is what the scientific duo of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and Arch. Namadi Sambo have done and is recognised by the international community as notified by CNN:

THE peaceful atmosphere in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, was shattered on Friday as hoodlums believed to be political thugs unleashed mayhem on the city and proceeded to engage the police in a shootout.
In the ensuing melee, an Inspector of Police was shot dead with many others, including an acting Divisional Police Officer, (DPO) and a Divisional Traffic Officer (DTO), receiving gunshot wounds. They are currently in critical conditions while the police last night declared that it had drawn the battle line with politicians and their thugs.
There were conflicting reports on the cause of the mayhem but a Police source informed Saturday Tribune that hoodlums, who attended a final day ‘Meet the People Tour’ undertaken by Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, held at Oke Ado office of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governor in the heart of Ibadan, stirred the uprising.
“Policemen from Iyaganku division were called to maintain peace and orderliness at the rally and on sensing a brewing crisis between a man dressed in APC uniform and a commercial motorcyclist, our men moved to know what was happening,” said the source.
‘The cyclist said he was asked by the man to take him to a destination but he refused because he was not interested in carrying any passenger dressed in political party’s uniform.
“At that point, we reasoned with the cyclist and advised the man to wait for another rider who might not mind carrying him even in his party’s vest.’’
The source explained further that the man insisted that the cyclist must carry him and as the exchanges hot up, a gang came around to further disturb the peace and one of them punched a policeman in the face.
At this point, the source said, the policemen arrested a couple of the thugs and called the acting Divisional Police Officer in Iyaganku who advised that the situation be brought under control pending her arrival to the scene.
“When she (acting DPO) arrived, she had discussions with APC chieftains who pleaded for the understanding of the policemen as in an event of such magnitude, miscreants, parading as partymen, could hijack the situation and terrorise the people.
“However, as the discussion was ongoing, some people believed to be APC loyalists demanded that two of those arrested by the police be released immediately.
“To our surprise, we saw another group of hoodlums who were protesting the arrest made by the police, and were shooting sporadically letting loose hell on everybody. Some of our men had to ferry the acting DPO to safety in a neaby filling station.
“In the crossfire, one of our men, an inspector, was shot in the head. He died on the spot, The acting DPO sustained gunshot injuries, while the Divisional Traffic Officer was not spared. In fact, as of now, nobody can say actually how many policemen and innocent people were injured,” the police source said.
The Police Inspector was confirmed dead at the emergency unit of a hospital located at Oke Padre area of Ibadan while the DPO and the DTO are receiving treatment at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan.
Meanwhile, the crisis extended to other parts of Ibadan, making areas in South Eastern part of the city, namely Idi Arere and Born Foto, deserted as residents fled when political thugs engaged one another in bloody clashes.
Soon after, it was learnt, the fracas extended to Iyana Lodge and Popoyemoja areas of the city.
Saturday Tribune gathered that a masquerader in Born Foto area, led an army of thugs to engage rival gangs in a clash that left many injured.
Police Public Relations Officer of the state’s Police Command, Superintendent of Police, Bisi Okuwobi-Ilobanafor reacted in a statement that the command would wage a ruthless war on political thugs as a total of 18 people had been arrested in connection with the fracas and would be charged to court.
“The Oyo State Police Command is deeply miffed by the gruesome, unwarranted and unprovoked murder of an Inspector of Police by political thugs during a political rally in Oke Ado area of Ibadan, today, November 21, 2014,’ Okuwobi-Ilobanfor said in the statement made available to Saturday Tribune.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Kola Sodipo, hereby warns politicians and supporters in unequivocal terms that the battle line has been drawn between the command and anyone out to perpetrate criminality,” the statement added.
Reacting, the APC, Oyo State chapter, believed the mayhem was mastermided by opposition party thugs who infiltrated the party’s rank by wearing its vests.
Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Wale Shadare, blamed the opposition for scheming the mayhem to embarrass Governor Abiola Ajimobi and give an unhappy ending to his tour.
“Why did it happen on the last day of the tour? Why did they choose the governor’s local government area to inflict the mayhem? The opposition parties embarked on the violence to embarrass the governor and take the shine off the successful tour,” Shadare said in a statement made available to Saturday Tribune.
After two days break, opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC) has re-started its nation-wide presidential campaign, kicking off with Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State.
Was the two days break to allow the old pensioner who is asking us for the FOURTH time to recruit him get some rest from the rigours of campaigning
If he cannot handle ordinary campaigning, how will he handle the tougher job of governance at his declared age of 73?

Stop talking utter RUBBISH. APC is also about violence.
simpleseyi: A 25-year-old man, Kingsley Ughala, has been shot dead while struggling to share the money dashed out by a politician after a rally of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State.
The incident happened on Friday afternoon in the Gbagada area of the state.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Kingsley had followed the APC to a rally and returned with some group of boys who later besieged the campaign office of the APC governorship candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, for “settlement.”
Our correspondent was told that after money was given out to the men, trouble started when a particular group wanted to pocket the largesse.
In the ensuing scuffle, the Imo State indigene was shot dead.
His corpse was said to have been deposited at the Gbagada General Hospital mortuary.
It was learnt that the police, had however arrested a suspect, Abayomi Ayeni.
A resident of the area, Jegede Johnson, said the victim was killed around 4pm.
He said, “It happened around the APC campaign office in Gbagada. After they finished their rally for the day, some group of boys returned to the campaign office for settlement.
“They were given some money to share among themselves.
“A fight broke out when one of the groups wanted to go away with the money.
“The struggle was intense, and at a point one of the groups brought out a gun and shot the guy dead.”
The victim’s father, Samuel, a carpenter, said he had returned from work in the evening of the fateful day when he learnt his son had been killed.
“I returned from work at about 9pm and I heard my son was killed. By that time, it was too late for me to go out so I waited till the following day which was a Saturday. I reported the matter at the Ifako Police Station.
“He had just finished his apprenticeship and we were looking for a job for him when he was killed. He was the third out of my six children.”
The victim’s elder brother, Chima, said, “I learnt that my brother was struggling for the money with those boys. When they entered a bus, they shot and killed him.”
It was gathered that the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, where the suspect was also being held.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident.
Elslim: What is dis guys contribution to his society dat our presido will go there for a visit, unless if na presido receive d contribution
Please tell us what is OBJ's contribution to our society?
Ordinary Lagos-Ibadan express in his own backyard he did not do it for eight WASTED years. It took Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to deliver on that road, which is currently being rehabilitated and expanded.
Same story for Benin-Ore road that is also in OBJ's home zone. He did nothing for eight apart from voting annual big budgets. The scientist has done it.
minister2015: peoples'devil party has spent 35billiondollars for the past sixteen years plus the media-hyped privitization but Nig is generating less than 3000MW. South Africa is generating over 40000MW but Iweala wants us to believe Nig is the biggest economy in Africa, she is truly amoney a doubler.
What is the source of your figure So you know how ridiculous your fabu is- $35 billion at average 175 exchange rate is N6.125 trillion. What is our total federal budget for the past 16 years?
BTW why don't you tell us how much South Africa has invested in electricity for the past 55 years i.e. since 1960 when Nigeria got independence and we compare to our country's overall investment in the same sector for that period. Deal
Those who want to read can go there and discover your ridiculous distortions.
Abi you think sey na everybody wey dey for NL be almajiris and area boys wey your APCheat ogas nor gree give education but prefer to dash dem crumbs every now & then
candy: Na so so negative reports! In my estate, we used to enjoy up to 12 hours of electricity supply/day In the days of phcn. We are lucky if we have five hours(between 12am and 5am) since Ibtec!
Things fall apart gan ni.
Usually when you sow a seed, it must die before it germinates a fresh, better new plant, not so We are in that phase with our electricity and as the OP showed clearly the government is aware and addressing the issues steadily for a SUSTAINABLE resolution of the problem rather than a quick fix that does not last.
Let us not forget that we had similar birth pangs for cement, fertiliser cabal removal but today these sectors are competing with stable price and even reduction in some cases.
jom28gy: This is the only one of the areas government is lacking to give Nigerians adequate electricity supply,the genco and disco are continues billing not minding weather there is light or not.
My brother REAL change does not happen overnight. It takes time, meticulous planning and CONTINUITY as opposed to what some people specialise in i.e. CANCELLATION.
Steadily, agricultural production is showing fruits from years of continuous investment coupled with right policies with prices starting to drop or staying steady despite forex rate rise and increased purchasing power from more employed people in revived farms & factories.
Same goes for railways. Surely we shall get there soon for electricity.
This is what transparency that Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and Arch. Namadi Sambo have practised is all about. We have been told what the challenges are and steps being taken to fix them.
Please show us if previous administrations were as transparent At least we know that the "best" governor of APCheat said FoI does not concern him when asked about the World Bank loan for education
Splashme, Arysexy et al una do well oh for the photos wey una don paste so far. Una wey never post una own, make una nor too tey before una put una own for here too.
The TRUE progressives who are passionate about seeing the CONTINUITY of this revival that we have not had for so many decades shall surely carry the day in our great nation.
