Olofofo247ng: Do you actually think before typing? Why are you always like this?
What part of her post is not in sync with the data you shared?
PDP presidents gave us cheap petrol, cheap dollars, low debt and still grew our economy for widespread prosperity, peace and security.
What part of the above is not true?
Jonathan even grew the economy when oil price/ revenues were falling.
anonimi: FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct 15 NOVEMBER 2013
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 the states had requested for $2bn 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.
Deliberate impoverishment has worked for the master strategist of a-looter propaganda politics for 27 years in Lagos.
Does anyone think that 200 million Nigerians are smarter than 20 million Lagosians? Tinubu understands how to play our tribalistic zoning and rotation arrangement for sharing the national cake of corruption.
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.
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.
DickenClarq: Nothing new here This dude should tell us another story. From my own observation, this Von-Whatever is just trying too hard to please his pay Masters. 90% of world leaders even Donald Trump all faced criminal charges after elections. Am so angry right now, this fools!sh opposition are not doing enough or hitting Tinubu enough, they are not even frightening him. No wonder he ignored them and left for Europe. THIS IS CALLED SEE FINISH May God help us
Since you should know that God won't come down to help us, what WORKS are you doing to hit Tinubu hard enough to be frighthened and lose the election
At least the Imams are collecting money from the government unlike your pastor that collects his own money from you while promising you a formless, quixotic, earth-bound version of the 72 Virgins.
Which pastor announced that subsidy is gone three years ago, saved billions of dollars and is still borrowing more than PDP presidents who gave us cheap petrol?
Timmi: It is obvious some people lack comprehension skills. The man has been wanted before leaving the APC. It is just sad that we put politics over everything in Nigeria. Malami the former Attorney General embezzled billions in Naira to the point that he forfeited many properties that were proceeds of corruption to the government and now has the gut to be a governor. All politicians - ADC, APC, NDC, etc. are full of corrupt dishonorable honorables and it is only in Nigeria that the oppressed are hailing the oppressor.
APC has the worst rogue politicians. Otherwise why are we borrowing more money than when PDP gave us cheap petrol?
Dogalmighty17: Less than 25 hours after he resigned from the APC? Sylva left office over 8 years ago. All this while EFCC didn't know he has a corruption case to answer for? The EFCC is a joke
Even the founding chairman of EFCC knows it is now a joke since he works with mean he swore to prosecute.
5 mind-boggling revelations from Obasanjo’s ‘My Watch’
5. Tinubu was one of the most corrupt, of the 36 governors
Obasanjo never got along too well with former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, and unsurprisingly, Tinubu got a mention in the former’s book. Obasanjo revealed that then EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu tried to investigate almost all the state governors during his tenure but that of the 28 confirmed to be manifestly corrupt or tainted one way or the other, Tinubu’s case was one of the worst.
Lagos — ABIA State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and his Lagos State counterpart, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not escape justice but would be made to face the full wrath of the law following their recent indictment for alleged corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Chairman of the commission Mallam Nuhu Ribadu who made the vow yesterday said the duo must account for their stewardship and may be thrown out of office.
Britishcoins: we die here together says Tinubu.... one time president
Focusing on his dubious background, academic and drug records won't make him a one term president just as it did not stop him from being elected Lagos governor twice and Nigerian president in 2023.
When you sow the wind, expect to reap the whirlwind.
Those who invited terrorists to make Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan so Tinubu could beg Buhari out of retirement to be president, are harvesting what they sowed before 2015.
Unfortunately, there will be many collateral damage before our collective work gets rid of these worst rogue politicians in APC.
anonimi: What group of politicians is more wicked than A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC
Jayhome24: Can't stop laughing at all these political thrash.
I challenged anybody ADC or NDC to provide any 5 mouth warering corruption cases under Tinubu so far as it was during Buhari, Gej and Obj, pls list 5 serious corruption cases involving any Tinubu minister or SSA or governor or commissioner or any appointed by Tinubu, I just need 5, the amount,the person name? Then.lets put them side by side Obj, Gej and Buhari and let the world do the judgement and let's see who shame go catch.
During Buhari we are all here infact amaechi was among the worst but today in the same ADC talking corruption. Atiku himself hasn't answer where is the $600m proceeds he received from selling National assets. Atiku has not tell us how did he mopped $16billion electrification fund that soiled his relationship with obj. Nobody ask a presidential candidate who boldly dished out $2.5m to US lobbyist where he got the money from as a politician dem born any politician in US to dare such?
Go back to Gej era of countless mouth watering corruption cases under his administration. Go back to Obj and check the record too it was appalling.
Atiku, a child living in a glass house don't throw stone. A word is enough for the wise cus by the time el rufai treatment start on you don't complain witch hunting cus you are over rating yourself way too far.
Tinubu is a master strategist in propaganda politics who knows how to keep corruption scandals off the press.
Nevertheless, if he is borrowing more money despite subsidy savings and doing less, then what is he doing with the money apart from stealing
Islie: Nigeria’s suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, has been in the eye of the storm since her appointment in August, 2023.
The 37-year-old politician who served as the National Women Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is now facing allegations of fraud, corruption and abuse of power in her ministry.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday, suspended Dr Edu from office and ordered a thorough investigation into her indictment in the alleged transfer of N585.189m meant for vulnerable groups in Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Ogun and Lagos states into a private account.
Before then, Daily Trust, in September, 2023, revealed how the minister made controversial appointments into non-existent entities and defunct World Bank-supported projects, as well as an independent agency.
This report unveils eight of the most controversial issues that might have marred Dr Edu’s tenure and presumably led to her “downfall”.
The N585.2m scandal
The most recent and damning scandal that led to Dr Edu’s suspension is the alleged diversion of N585.2m from the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) to a private account.
The NSIPA is the agency responsible for implementing the government’s social welfare and empowerment programmes such as the N-Power, the Conditional Cash Transfer, the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme and the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme.
A viral document signed by Dr Edu to the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation revealed that the minister directed the lodgment of N585.189m into the private account of one Bridget Mojisola Oniyelu.
N3bn loot
Another scandal that rocked Edu’s ministry was the allegation of looting of billions of naira from NSIPA by herself and her cronies.
The allegation was made following the suspension of NSIPA’s Coordinator, Hajiya Halima Shehu, who was arrested and interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged N37.1bn scandal.
This sparked allegations that Dr Edu was an accomplice in allegedly siphoning the over N3bn from the NSIPA account using various fraudulent schemes such as inflating the number of beneficiaries, paying ghost workers, awarding contracts to fake companies and diverting funds to personal accounts.
Emeskhalifa: They'd be sounding like saints who will do better but just give them power and see rubbish
Atiku and other PDP elements in ADC had power in the past and they did far better than these worst rogue politicians of A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC.
In what area was PDP not better than APC since 2015?
socialmediaman: The 2018 Rating by Transparency International placed Nigeria at 148th position out of 180 countries. Nigeria was improving over the years under the previous government, until Buhari got elected as president, things became worse.
There is a difference between fact and fiction. We need to face facts, Buhari is worse than GEJ when it comes to fighting corruption, at least that’s what the facts prove.
Most of us believed there was corruption under Goodluck Jonathan’s Government. I agree with those who did, there was corruption, but not as bad as it is today under Mohammadu Buhari.
In 2012, Nigeria was placed at 139th position, In 2014, Nigeria gained 3 steps and was placed at 136th position. Under Buhari, Nigeria has lost many positions down to 148th.
There’s no further proof needed that corruption has worsened under Buhari’s government compared to previous years.
Lanretoye: But all that buhari and emefiele borrowed and printed should be transfered to your own account
Have you forgotten your comparative lessons already?
Bad, worse, worst. Good, better and best.
Corruption under Tinubu is worse than under Buhari. Do you contest that
Is that not how his jeun soke, jeun sapo has wrecked Lagos into a glorified ghetto and slum despite increasing the state budget 100 times to N4.2 trillion in 27 years of worsening water supply and free education?
chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.
Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.
The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.
The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.
Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.
The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.
But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.
During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).
The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.
Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.
Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:
“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.
“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”
mycar: Economy that is still playing catch up, has it gotten to the level is it was prior 2023,? Nope
It can't get to the 2023 level unfortunately, even with the rebasing exercise of 2024.
Tinubu is a complete and total failure in governance. A clueless clown of balablu bulaba propaganda lies.
anonimi: Nigeria remains fourth largest economy in Africa despite rebasing
July 21, 2025
Nigeria has retained its status as the fourth largest economy in Africa despite a rebasing exercise that expanded the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).
The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) announced that the economy expanded to N372.8 trillion ($243 billion) in 2024, down from N314.02 trillion in the prior year as more sectors in the informal economy were considered in its calculations.
The statistics bureau adopted 2019 as its base year away from 2010 that’s previously reported.
The rebasing exercise covers the period from 2019 to 2023 and reflects changes in the economy’s structure, sectoral contributions, and data sources.
Despite the overhaul, Nigeria fails to reclaim its erstwhile status as the largest economy in Africa.
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), South Africa remains the continent’s biggest economy with a GDP of $410.34 billion for a country with little over a quarter of Nigeria’s population.
Following the Southern African nation is Egypt with a GDP of $347 billion while Algeria maintains its third position having $268.9 billion as the size of its economy.
Although Nigeria’s economy grew 30 percent above the projected $188 billion estimate by the IMF this year, the rebasing was poised to place the economy as the biggest in Africa.
Skudi: The question I want to ask is if we change this present government and the new one come onboard will the price of fuel and cement reduce?and also will the exchange rate reduce or go back to 500 naira per dollar. I think the problem we have in this country is lack of productivity. Any new government that comes in will promise heaven and earth and the cycle goes on...till we all die and the unborn generation will come onboard
Atiku's promise is simple- a return to the prosperity, peace and security of PDP's 16 years that had cheap petrol, cheap dollars and low debt because we were more productive with less unemployment.
This was driven by deregulation and privatisation policies to unleash the creative energies of youths and even not so young Nigerians.
eepeepook: So long ago, I don’t care. A whole India Love was born at the time. Today, she’s considered a granny at 30.
Gang members will never have sense. The man was free to walk because he gave confessions and came to a deal with the police. His constant bragging about the incident over years led to this outcome. It reminds me of akatas who commit crimes while recording themselves because, “keeping it real.”
How much of this can be blamed on white people who enslaved blacks bought from slave traders like Madam Tinubu?
anonimi: The often cited biography titled Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker, authored by Nigerian historian Oladipo Yemitan, paints her views regarding slave trading.
On one occasion, during her final sojourn in Abeokuta, she was alleged to have sold a young boy into slavery and was accused of it. When arraigned before Ogundipe Alatise over the matter, she reportedly explained: 'I have a large house-hold and I must feed them well. I need money to do that, that's why'.
— Oladipo. Yemitan, 'Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker'
Another section of Yemitan's Tinubu biography, referred to as the Amadie-Ojo Affair, captures a slave trading deal gone sour in 1853 (notably after the 1852 Treaty abolishing slavery in Lagos) wherein Tinubu tells another slave trader (Domingo Martinez) that "she would rather drown the slaves [20 in number] than sell them at a discount".
gbadexy: I wonder if he still looked young as he did for decades. There's really no stopping to retire if one wants live long, albeit at a relaxed pace. Activities probably kept him till now.
He’s still LOOKING young thanks to medical advances in plastic surgery, blood cell therapy and steroids.
The father is stealing our subsidy money and increased taxes with loans.
The mother is asking us to fry akara because her husband is clueless about creating 50 million jobs promised.
The son is laundering money into City Boy movement to continue the A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC stranglehold on Nigerians who use tribalistic zoning and rotation to share the national cake of corruption in local, state and federal politics.
nedekid: OK, at least he did not meet you when you were a medicine importer and exporter😂
Na so o. When Tinubu was a Chicago based pharmaceutical dealer. Thankfully for him, Chicago is not a city in China, otherwise he would not have had the chance to wreck Lagos for 27 years and now the entire country since 2023!
Racoon: Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.
Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.
His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.
The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993
It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.
Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.
He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.
“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’

What Tinubu and APC can’t destroy does not exist. 11 years of change and 3 years of reform with subsidy removal TWICE along with huge debt cum tax burden on people, why should we have roads worse than when PDP gave us cheap petrol and cheap dollars without piling up debt?
“This is how the Benin–Asaba Expressway looks yesterday, Thursday, August 20, 2026. Look at how cars and trailers are stuck because of the bad road.

Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun made this known at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja. Mr. Edun said that the benefit of the subsidy removal will be plough back into various sectors to improve business environment for local and foreign investment. He added that with the increased revenue from subsidy removal, various palliatives have been made available to cushion its effect on a short, medium and long-term basis.
Ofunaofu: Report: Current Govt Added More Debt in Two Years Than Nigeria Accumulated in 55 Years
• Decries Nigeria’s debt service-to-revenue ratio
•Urges FG to declare fiscal emergency
A new policy brief has warned that Nigeria’s worsening debt profile and weak revenue generation have pushed the country into a dangerous fiscal position, with the current administration accumulating more debt in two years than Nigeria recorded during its first 55 years after independence.
The report, released by the Alliance for Economic Research and Ethics LTD/GTE, a Nigerian policy think tank, argued that the country’s debt crisis has evolved into a governance and revenue emergency, as debt servicing obligations now exceed the federal government’s retained earnings. > > According to the think tank, Nigeria’s public debt rose sharply from N87.38 trillion in June 2023 to N159.28 trillion by the end of 2025, with President Bola Tinubu’s administration accounting for about N65.9 trillion of the increase within its first two years in office.
The organisation in the brief titled: “Nigeria Is Borrowing to Breathe—and the Clock Is Ticking”, noted that Nigeria accumulated only about N12.06 trillion in debt from independence in 1960 up to 2015, meaning the current administration added more than five times that amount in just 24 months.
The report stated that while previous governments also contributed significantly to the country’s rising debt burden, the speed of accumulation under the current administration had intensified concerns over fiscal sustainability.
“President Bola Tinubu’s administration has added a further N65.9 trillion in just two years. To put that in perspective: it took Nigeria’s first 55 years of independence to accumulate N12 trillion in debt. The current administration has added more than five times that amount in 24 months,” it argued.
It recalled that Nigeria briefly became almost debt-free externally after the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo secured an $18 billion Paris Club debt relief package in 2005 and paid $12 billion to extinguish about $30 billion in external obligations.
Baawaa: Tinubu is a father to Atiku politically, which Atiku himself knows
He is truly a father to Atiku in the looting of Nigeria. There is no doubt about that, with how roads are worse now than when Atiku and PDP gave us cheap petrol.
What is Tinubu doing with his 53% of the subsidy savings, if he is not stealing it like he steals trillions of Lagos budget every year?

1vandragon: It is funny how people who cannot explain major discrepancies and questionable gaps in the president's life are the ones defending him. Obi might be speaking out of his own selfish interests, but the fact remains that sane and patriotic Nigerians want to know who really bat 'was'... Those that feel his past should not matter should allow those who want to know about his past to seek answers. Or are they scared that revealing a sordid past would make bat lose supporters? I doubt that. And if the past is so sordid that he and his team are actually worried about losing supporters, then maybe he shouldn't even be president in the first place.
Why should his past matter more than his current failures in governance? Is Obi focused on his past because he has no better governance record than Tinubu has?

LordIsaac: A very sound doctrine this is, I must confess.
So, what made him change the sound doctrine when he is not a flip flopping politician like Tinubu who sold Buhari as APC messiah in 2015, four years after claiming that he was expired?
akpumping7720: God will heal you with this hatred you have for Tinubu oooooh. You left Anambra that's not doing well according to the statistics and start tackling Tinubu. Hahahahah.
louken: Your question is not very clear. Phrase it well so I can give my opinion. I am a parent and my children are in private school while I myself am a product of public schools. Majority of parents now prefer private schools not necessarily because public schools lack facilities but because private schools take better care of their pupils and are generally more dedicated. So I'm not surprised that Anambra State doesn't spend so high on schools as compared to other states.
Why should public schools in Lagos not take better care of pupils than private ones, since Tinubu increased the state budget 100 times to N4.2 trillion?
Why does he call himself a progressive politician then?

aduboy: Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers
Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, on Monday in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.
Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.
He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.
“If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,” the governor said.
“In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.”
Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.
“It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,” he said.
“It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.”
According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.
“We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.”

PROUDIGBO: ^^^I'm trying to, but i can't fault your reasoning.
Where was Obi when Atiku and Obasanjo were delivering prosperity, peace and security to Nigeria with cheap petrol, cheap dollars and less debt burden as well as less tax burden?
Where was Obi after his former protégé kicked him out of their regional APGA party until Atiku rescued him in 2019?
newsbook: Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.
Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.
Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.
Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.
But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.
He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.
Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.
These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.
The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.
On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.
He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.
The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.
A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.
Ameerah1234: Finally someone is talking with figures and not propaganda. ₦605 as starting point with a clear roadmap to ₦200-₦300 makes sense. Show us the production cost. Show us the refinery cost. Let the data speak. This is what policy looks like. #VoteHashim #605PetrolPrice
Atiku did better in the past and will do it better again.
Tinubu said he would crash petrol prices below N185, sounding like a brilliant, Chicago trained accountant with Mobil experience. What do we have now, after four years of renewed hope?
