I look forward to Femi Falana requesting for the report, using the FoI.

Would you know why Femi Falana has not challenged the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC state governors who said they are not affected by FoI
Do you think that is because he is also a pretending crook

It is no tweet dear.

It is in the report of the Interim Management Committee set up in 1999 to investigate the affairs of the PTF and supported by three independent auditing firms.

My reference to the tweet sauce was for the BOGUS 70% south roads by PTF
I understand about the FRAUDULENT rural telephone being from the IMC report.

Let me see if/how to edit my post to avoid any possible mix-up by other readers.

The Rural Telecommunications Development Scheme was another project from which money was siphoned. This one was so unbelievably cynical that it was beyond belief. There were two parts to the scheme – the Pilot Phase and the Main Phase. The first was a condition precedent. It required that the PTF under General Buhari would under this first scheme first determine if the project was viable. If determined not to be viable, invariably, the Main Phase would not be commenced. But even before the Pilot Phase could be concluded, Buhari awarded the contract for the Main Phase to the tune of N1.6 billion, without any contracts signed, and before any conclusions could be drawn from the Pilot project. The auditors looked at the three main bank accounts of the PTF and concluded that the PTF had been shortchanged by up to N3.6 billion by way of short payment of interest accruals from deposits, or excessive charges on Cost of Turnover by preferred banks.

Popular ThisDay newspaper columnist, Waziri Adio today -December 26 2014- felt compelled to speak up and clear the air on false accusations that Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was ‘sectional’ in the widely-acclaimed impact of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) he chaired under the Sanni Abacha regime.

In a series of, tweets, 35 in total Waziri made it clear that “the South got 70% in terms of amount located, and the North got 30%”.

The tweets are very enlightening. :
In a few minutes, I will start tweeting about the Petroleum Special Trust Fund (PTF) headed @ThisIsBuhari btw May '95 and May '99.

BTW, who is Waziri Adio the tweeter who is the sauce of these spurious figures

Yet another LIE from the renowned fabricators, Association of Pretending Crooks, APC that will soon be bursted

The real people you need to convince are not online. They are the people on the streets, markets, in their homes, on their way to their farms etc.

But obviously you guys are clueless in this regard.
Anyway good luck with your online presidency.

And they are the people who see-

- previously dead TRAINS running again with passengers & goods freighted at less cost.
- the yield from their FARMS increase due to increased focus by a dedicated federal government as well as better fertilser distribution that CUTS off subsidy & middle men cabals.
- their people EMPLOYED in revived automobile factories.
- previously budgeted but NOT maintained ROADS suddenly refurbished & expanded


just to name a FEW achievements of meaningful IMPACT on the lives of ordinary folks who will actually vote!

Obiagelli:
Btw all these was done in 18 months. Op you forgot the most important part, reducing inflation from 32% to 5% in a year.

Assuming what you said about the reduced inflation is true, it can be easily traced to his economic policy of importing everything from milk, vegetable oil, sugar to tyres etc through the Nigerian National Supply Company, NNSC. That was the era of Essential Commodities aka Essenco.

Thereby balooning our external debts and more importantly accelerating the demise of our agricultural & manufacturing sectors. So much short-sighted daftness parading itself to its mofo followers as panda (fake jewelry) brillance that fades out so quickly you wonder, (like we have been doing before now) where did all the money go

These sectors are being slowly but STEADILY revived by the FOCUSED, well thought out economic policies of the Jonathan/Sambo duo.
See the sparkling difference

We shall not go BACKWARRDS again to cheap & cheerful damaging tomfoolery.

It is a stock in trade of the PDP to distort facts, whip up sentiments all to make their principal look like the victim. Because Nigerians hardly read and research you guys spew all sorts of lies to deceive them in forums.


Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Mulikat Akande-Adeola, said on Tuesday‎ that it had now dawned on her that the Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, his Deputy, Mr. Emeka Ihedioha, and Deputy House Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor, played a game on her over Tambuwal’s defection.
T‎ambuwal had defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress on October 28.
He adjourned the House to December 3 soon after announcing his defection, cashing in on the motion for adjournment already moved by Akande-Adeola.
The majority leader has since come under heavy criticism from the PDP, which ‎blames her for allowing Tambuwal to defect under her nose and getting away with a lengthy adjournment of the House.

Read my post that YOU quoted again. I clearly said after the House passed the MOTION to adjourn for the day.

Spot the difference or you need some help

The late military Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, did not loot the national treasury contrary to the general impression, two military former heads of state have said.

Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, who ruled Nigeria between 1983 and 1985, and his successor, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, gave Abacha the clean bill in Kano yesterday after the rememberance prayers marking 10 years of the death of Abacha, who ruled between 1993 and 1998.

I thought the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC has a super smooth media & PROPAGANDA machinery!
Why do you think they have not deployed that to ensure such sordid affairs are not swept "under the carpet"

I am sure he will soon issue a statement to address these issues in a very professional manner

First of all, they can all pay 1M as fine.
Second of all, I think they donated to the party and not GEJ....lol!

Thanks for also pointing out other LOOPHOLES that can be legally exploited to escape any sanction.

If a letter of threat to life can be used in a law court to convict anyone I don't see why pledges to donate and acceptance plus gratitude will not commit GEJ and his cohorts to prison. Lawyers over to you people. The PDP will forever attempt to turn Nigerian constitution into a paper fit to sell groundnuts as long as they remain in power.

Did you say the same thing about Tambuwal WANTING to remain Speaker despite announcing his defection AFTER the House passed the motion to ADJOURN for the day

egift:
So they only Pledged the money so that they will not donate it to Jonathan?

PDP and their corrupt agents of confusion. Now they want to tell us the donation made on National TV was just our imaginations. Jonathan must be voted out to stop insulting the sensibilities of majority of Nigerians.

Coming from someone who was STRUGGLING to justify Tambuwal's scheming ways to retain his Speakership position and the entitlements after defection, I guess you won't mind if I call out your HYPOCRISY, or will you

egift:
What the Legislative arm of Government do in the House remains in the Green Chamber. PDP are looking to how to clamp down on the Legislative Arm of Government and detect its activities from outside.

For 15yrs PDP have been sowing evil at all level of government that will take Generations to uproot. There are 3 Arms of Government that are Equal within the context of their privileges as provided by the constitution. Jonathan is just trying to make the House subjective to its illegalities.

egift:
The fact remains: The IG of Police has no authority bestow on himself the responsibility of interpreting the Law - that is the sole duty of the court. The Speaker has neither been impeached nor prohibited by the Court.

Even if you are accused of any crime, the duty of the Police is to take you to court for judgement. It is sad that for some political expediencies, some folks are supporting illegality, impunity and abuse of power. It is wrong.

egift:
So you are blindly telling us nothing illegal in the donation as well?

Chisos! Why did you allow Jonathan to take away your brain? What a shame.

They have NOT donated yet. They have PLEDGED the amounts stated.
Donation occurs only when the amounts stated publicly is actually received in designated accounts, usually far away from the eyes of the public, not so

That is where philips70's reference to sub section 9 is null & void at THIS point in time.
Clearly!!!


I will ignore the insults to keep us on track of this very interesting and educating discussion.

philips70:
He is wrong. He purposely left out sub section 9. Read it in my earlier comment. It's not a good thing for a youth to mislead other youths in matters of this nature no matter what we stand to gain from it in the interim.

Na who you dey give work of to go dey do boys scout for search your earlier post
As far as THIS post is concerned you have also "purposely left out sub section 9." What say you in your defence

egift:
So this man is saying, they donated 21 billion naira - so tha Jonathan can spend only 1 billion as provided for by the law and squander or refund 20 billion naira?

See corrupt logic. For me, this man is angling for his own slice of the money. What a shame.

Have they actually donated cash worth N21 billion or PLEDGED the amount, which is subject to actual receipt
Please find out and clarify adequately before you make further comments that may potentially embarrass you.

Uproar over N4bn Budget for First Lady’s Office

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/uproar-over-n4bn-budget-for-first-lady-s-office/138107/

Thanks for digging up the very revealing article on the N4 billion, which was appropriately tagged as illegal by our highly esteemed senators.
I hope they quickly removed it from the budget before it was finally approved.

Nevertheless, we can cut tit some very generous slack by agreeing with her submission that there is no LEGAL appropriation for the non-existent (constitutionally) office

The other side of this actually means that General Buhari was being daft when he said he would not have an office of first lady since our constitution already does not make provision for such an office! What do you think

rasojie:
Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria! Any way you paint it, it is morally wrong to make such financial pledges in an ailing nation like Nigeria where the sufferation speak volumes. this is nothing but daylight rape of our motherland, my signature tells better

I quite agree with you that it is morally wrong to raise so much money, even as pledges given our not-fully recovered socio-economic challenges.
However as the OP argued there may be nothing LEGALLY wrong with the PLEDGES made.

Perhaps the OP may wish to change the title of the thread to read-

- Nothing LEGALLY wrong.........


We should learn to separate emotions from cold, hard facts & informed discussions (as I nor wan use arguements)

Now that Buhari & Tinubu have not only mixed but also blended, I hope Bode George has taken very good note and will lie very low away from the public eye to avoid providing ample opportunity to Tinubu & co to tarnish Agbaje's very limited chance of making any DENT in the JagaBandit kingdom of Lagos state!

Sorry if I came across as too harsh but this is a VERY SERIOUS matter affecting our country's security, territorial integrity and the consequences on socio-economic well-being of the affected areas

QED!!!

okoyemike:
I am ashamed of the military, a statement like this should get Amaechi impeached and arrested immediately for the sake of National security. Why all those grammar, military has its own constitution and tribunal and shallow minded civilians should refrain from making sensational statements they know nothing about. I'm telling you, if they military revolt against the government, Nigeria would just end that day, there won't be election and even amechi and his cohorts would be in hiding. I thought all leaders were sensible till I heard amechi speak. Cowardice in the army, protest or even strike that others enjoy earns you the firing squad in the military. Wike was right afterall, Amechi is APC's fool. GMB would even marvel at his statement.

Thankfully we have had democracy going on for us in the past 16 years or so hence it is no longer "nascent" but in its "teenage" years
More importantly we no longer have General Bully-Aminu of Ota at the helm of affairs. Otherwise Amaechi would have been history since many moons ago

Unfortunately it does NOT seem that General Muhammadu Buhari is marveling at the statement form his Donatus General (DG), otherwise he would have done some PUBLIC damage control since the story broke out.
It is too late now!
Just as his belated call for the end to post-2011 electoral violence AFTER so many YOUTH from the south who were in the SERVICE of our nation were brutally murdered by his supporters

Those asshòle generals are stealing truckloads of rice meant for the troops and rationing ammunition for them. And when the soldiers complain, they're sentenced to death! As if there is any other avenue for channelling discontent.

Stop deluding & confusing yourself and others who are too LAZY to find out the alternative channels of COMMUNICATING their discontent!

If it is against the military code of honour to protest, it should also be against the military code of honour to steal. All those ole generals should be tried and sentenced to death too

It is also against the military code to steal.
You may wish to find out what the penalties for such are according to the military laws, which are an integral part of our constitution.
If you are really concerned about the unfair nature of the applicable military laws, nothing stops you from addressing appropriate petitions to the SINator and representatTHIEF for your constituency so the issues can be discussed and reviewed in the NASS. See altenative channels for resolving issues in a lawful manner

EdCure:
Na Wadata plaza d Defence HQ dey?

Was that stated in the OP

azimibraun:
Too afraid to mention ameachi's name they defence hqtrs said " a statement made by a popular politician" Is Rotimi Ameachi too difficult to mention or pronounce? The man just said the truth and has ruffled feathers.

That is what simple decorum & protocol requires in civilised societies.
Are you allergic to such niceties of life or do you have any particular problem with it

Below is what I consider key part of the OP =>

He said he expected Amaechi or his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), to retract the statement, but their failure to do so prompted the reaction of the military. “It was expected that the fellow quoted or his party would have made immediate moves to correct this fallacy or erroneous impression being propagated especially in view of the level of knowledge of his principal and candidate in forthcoming elections.

“Unfortunately, no such gesture seems to be forthcoming. There is therefore the need to caution against the propagation of this dangerous idea before it causes more problems. “For the avoidance of any doubt, the military institution rejects this declaration and its intention in all ramifications.

The military law as recognised by the constitution of the federation is an appropriate legal document for the management of affairs of the military. The processes it outlines for handling military offences remain legal and will continue to be applied in the interest of the nation’s security and democracy.”

He further called for caution in meddling in the affairs of the military, adding that constituted authority in the military must not be undermined. “Individuals and interest groups seeking to play to the gallery by being meddlesome, sensational or mischievous in interpreting developments in the military are advised to moderate their activities with some decorum.

I also expected that General Muhammadu Buhari would have arranged adequate & appropriate damage control over the loquacious mess caused by his Donatus General (DG) but obviously that was expecting too much from the daft old soldier pensioner.
Never mind his grandstanding about consulting Generals about how to deal with BH menace!
Why consult Generals whom your party is undermining their authority on the altar of petty politics
As if there are no better alternative channels for addressing lapses in the military command raised by the mutinous soldiers? That includes the over-fed, loafing SINators and representaTHIEVES with their "oversight" functions!
And to imagine that he is a retired military officer who has held juicy political appointments from a very young age

The blatant HYPOCRISY of the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC gets exposed & revealed for more of our fellow citizens to discover daily despite their desperate attempt at packaging their putrid alternative WRONGLY labelled as change!
