I will not give a dog a bad name just so I could hang it therefore I will give ex governor. Amosun the benefit of doubt. His side of the story sounds more believable than that of Utomi. Also, I would like to know why the Ogun State House of Assembly passed a personal non grata on Utomi, and put its resolution in the state’s black book. ?

Amosun has said nothing sensible. And it's usually the same rambling after every cancellation; be it Dangote refinery, Airport city, University of Education, Naming of Mike Adenuga stadium, demolition of Apagun's golf course, revocation of naming of Adebutu Polytechnic, Revocation of Gateway Hotels concessionaires, an so so on.

How can a Government go to court with Amosun's explanation of his revocation of an executed contract by same Ogun State.

Ogun awarded contract, Utomi executed, Ogun says it's revoking executed contract it awarded because same Ogun at some later point blacklisted the contractor and he also hurriedly executed his contract. Are these tenable in law. Are we not in danger of losing Airports in addition to the lost Presidential planes?

Can you approbate and reprobate? Dishonour your obligations of your own contract for hurried execution by the awardee.

Dull explanations as always. No respect for contracts. Same model of engagement of the Chinese; Take this offer and leave while you still can. Can any of this balderdash save Ogun government from consequent liability in court?

Ogun awarded contract, Ogun blacklisted the awardee of its own contract, Ogun accuses Awardee of hurriedly executing contract it awarded before transition to another regime.

That man within 24 hours of assumption of office looked out of the window and ordered the demolition of the 2nd best golf course in the country. The owner consequently committed suicide.

FG should just open a panel for victims of Amosun's cancellation policy. The world would be shocked.

Segzy19:
Now everyone can see the under-doings of Amosun. Amosun is a terrible person...

In a saner clime both OGD and Amosun should be in lengthy prison sentences by now....
Those guys raped Ogun state badly

You see there is this competitiveness since the days of the the first Governor of Ogun State between Ijebu where Daniel hails from and Egba where Amosun hails from. It's gone on without hassles where the next district just waits it's turn to also favour development of its own distirict.

Then came OGD who appeared like a maverick by initiation of some major projects that would forever alter the Ijebu- Egba superiority equation; projects as Deep sea port (leveraging proximity to Atlantic), Airport city (leveraging Samagu's centrality), Refinery (leveraging Oil deposit).

Rather than come with projects for his Egba Division, In what Yoruba would describe as- "Kaka ki eku ma je sese a ma fi sawa danu ni". Amosun moved all projects he could move from Daniel's Ijebu and cancelled the one he couldn't move; an the list is endless- Dangote refinery, Agro Cargo Airport, University of Education, etc.

Lagos benefitted a lot from the cancellations of the OGD vision of Deep sea port, Refinery. Even the Airport city would have favourably competed with MMA

It was just a case of unhealthy rivalry to maintain ethnic superiority on the path of Amosun. And believe if a panel is set up, you would not see less than 50 that would join Utomi on Amosun's policy of Revocations.

BALLOSKI:
I never knew Amosun was this thoughtless and crude until this event happened and I heard in an interview by Oshiomhole that Amosun and Fayemi were 2 persons who masterminded his removal from office as APC chairman because they felt he's going to be used by Tinubu and they want to be president too.

Such an Agberoistic way of doing things as a leader.

I still feel bad for Ogun people for what Amosun did to them by pushing Dangote refinery away from the state.


He should be barred from holding political office for life.

There had always been this competitiveness between Ijebu District where Daniel hails from and Egba where Amosun hails from. And it has been so since the days of the first Governor Bisi Onabanjo. Successive regimes have been rightfully or wrongly accused of developing their Districts of origin without much hassles. Every District just waited for its own turn.

Then it came Ijebu's Daniel turn who appeared like a maverick. Originated project that would forever tilt the superiority of the Ijebu Division; projects as Deep sea port (leveraging proximity to the sea), Dangote refinery (leveraging oil deposits), Agro Cargo Airport (to leverage Sagamu centrality).

Rather than come in to also initiate projects to equate the tilt. Amosun chose to cancel all projects in Ijebu to maintain Egba superiority.

It was a case of "Kaka ki eku ma je sese, a ma fi sawa danu ni" meaning- rather than give your division the upperhand, the state would rather lose the projects.

He went on to become the most sectional Governor the state ever knew. Unfondly called the Governor of Abeokuta.

[quote author=dibunotion post=131564032]Ogun state is just a menace. Despite surrounding Lagos yet massively undeveloped and not blessed with good leaders. I hope they get it right someday [/quote

Nothing wrong with Ogun leaders. It's just a problem of Amosun's policy of cancellation that ran riot for 8 years.

That riot cancelled Dangote refinery that was even better suited for Ogun State which had a better terrain than sinking Lekki l, Lagos that eventually benefitted the Amosun- madness. Same riot of cancellation stopped the deep sea port project that Lagos would copy, get licence and execute few years after. Same riot consumed an Airport city project (first in Africa) that would have changed the dynamics of flying in Southwest and indeed Nigeria.

It was a case of cancellation of everything he seemed his predecessor had done in the Ijebu District which he believed was more befitting of his Own Egba District.

So almost everything he cancelled at the Ijebu Division, he tried to replicate at Egba. He tried to replace the cancelled airport at Egba and Amaechi at the point of inspection (on camera) said "I cannot approve an airport in a location that is only viable for the Governor to land). Same with University, etc.

Amosun set Ogun backwards on the altar of ethnicity. Daniel and Dapo have been decent and had visionary ideas that were brilliant enough to put Ogun state on Lagos pedestal if not for ethnicity debacle.

This makes for very disturbing reading, even to my jaded eyes. Are you absolutely sure of this?

I'm not a prophet but read from another victim of Amosun's cancellation Policy. Utomi recounting his own ordeal too this morning on Premium times.

Like he did Chinese firm, Amosun also cancelled my Ogun contract - Pat Utomi https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/725502-like-he-did-chinese-firm-amosun-also-cancelled-my-ogun-contract-pat-utomi.html

Common knowledge of Ogun state affairs. Google each of the instance for more details on the individual revocations. I could have gone on and on in the list of his endless revocations.

Add this to your Google checks.
Revocation of all returned Missionary schools,
Revocation of concessioned Ogun State hotels

IfnobeGod20:
Read the news very well, it wasn't Amosun's secretary but Gbenga's secretary. They were the ones that caused that assault on the Chinese man.
The contract was entered into during Gbenga Daniel's regime. Adekunle Amosun put final pen on the paper to seal the contract while Dapo Abiodun myopically revoked the contract illegally without following due diligence.
Meaning these three unintelligent and enemies of Ogun State:
Gbenga Daniel
Adekunle Amosun and
Dapo Abiodun caused the problem that has caused international embarrassment on the nation as a whole.
Why FG is involved is because of bilateral trade relation between Nigeria and China. All contractual agreement and obligations are binding on the nation as a whole rather than the micro state involved.
The best they can do now is to go on their knees and beg the firm authority and seek for out of the court settle with Nigerian government taken all responsibility to upset any damage and debt incurred in the contract scheme.

Which planet are you from. You definitely don't read or write English there. The SSG's name was mentioned and he is a public figure if you ever lived in Ogun State. Taiwo was Amosun's secretary, An Abeokuta socialite.

Gbenga Daniel signed the Ogun Asia FTZ at Igbesa. Amosun by his admission yesterday said the company that sued Nigeria fed him false information about the parties Daniel awarded it to, so Amosun revoked the Daniel-awarded company and appointed the party now in dispute with Nigeria the interim administrators of the FTZ. He said when he realised that the information they fed him was false, he sacked them again.

Dapo had no hand in the issue.

Would be governors need to be subjected to an induction course on the use of power particularly when you consider the constitutional requirement for the attainment of that position is secondary school certificate.

Amosun assumed the Ogun State Government position like an emperor. Giving orders for cancellation of everything in sight before opening a single file.

Within 24 hours, the golf course, one of the best in Nigeria was ordered to be demolished. I painfully remember the consequent demise of the owner

Permanent Secretaries sacked. He later complained when he realised the sacked Perm Secs would continue to receive their salaries for life.

Revoked the naming of Mike Adenuga stadium, which made the national sport icon embarrassed and withdrew the philanthropic commitment to maintain the sport facilities

Revoked the naming of Kensington Adebutu ICT Poly. Later realised the Billionaire was the one paying salaries of the entire body of staff and structures of the institution. Of course the embarrassed billionaire withdrew his philanthropic gestures

Scrapped the TASUED, the first University of Education in Nigeria. A fully autonomous, one of the most populous institutions in Nigeria that had become one of the most financially independent institution in the state.

Revoked the Agro Cargo licence inspite all resources committed and financial commitment of the foreigners to build the first of its kind Airport city in Africa.

Revoked Dangote refinery, despite investment committed. It was the most shocking of all cancellations. Dangote preferred the Ogun State terrain. His revelations and Amosun's explanations was more troubling.

Nigeria might be in for more shock when other marginalised investors of Amosun, the Canceller General of Ogun State government begin to show up. The man knew nothing about the Executive power, wielded it as much as possible to the detriment of the state, for ethnic scores.

FreeStuffsNG:
It was a PDP Governor who signed the contract just like the P&ID criminal case. It is always PDP and that's why we will never reward PDP or its low-budget version, ElluPee, with the Presidency.

One Governor whether PDP or APC came signed Olokola Free trade zone contract, Dangote refinery contract, Agro Cargo Airport city, Mike Adenuga to help develop sport facilities, Adebutu to help develop ICT institutions.

Another whether PDP or APC came on board revoked all contracts. Investment withdrawn to Lagos and other conducive climes.

Did you read the chilling experience of the Chinese entrepreneurs in the hands of a Governor Secretary and random Policemen. Locked in cells with common criminals, assaulted and expelled from the country without charges.

Amosun really needs to be tried. You cannot expel a person from a country by brute force even if you're Oluomo

Title- Peter Obi is finished!

Season 1- Case is thrown out from Tribunal to Supreme Court because his nomination was invalid, having failed to join Labour Party 30 days to primaries

Season 2- He is fined by CCT as a pardon for jail sentence for running secret foreign accounts as a Governor and his less than transparent use of public funds to Advance family ventures- Fidelity Bank and the brewery

Season 3- Obi is barred from running for elective offices in Nigeria again.

Penguin2:
Same way they will congratulate Peter Obi very soon.

Are you following the Tribunal at all? Obi in the eyes of the law didn't even contest at all. Sowore pass am.

His nomination as EluP candidate is null and void.

BombAttack:
🤪😆😜🤣😂😅

What of the cocaine trafficking case, will supreme Court tell Nigerians that cocaine trafficking is not a crime🤪😆😜🤣😂😅

Stop pretending to be dumb. Tinubu is an accountant. He was paid with proceeds of Cocaine, he himself was not reported to have dealt in cocaine.

Imagine someone says the tokunbo phone you're typing with must be forfeited because it was bought by the proceeds of cocaine by the original owner who sold it to you. Even though you forfeit the phone, you are not guilty of cocaine trafficking

Gbam!!

Make dem go dey argue that 1 till 2026 first. By 2027 we would now hear the merit of the case after they have proven why their petitions shouldn't be dismissed.

Prince Ajibola also served as AGF pro bono- free without salary or allowances. Complete Omoluabi and a leading doyen of the Legal profession in Nigeria and world over.

Vinnie2000:
Ur head nor Correct, Sir. 😕

Justice Oputa, of the Famous Oputa Panel that invited IBB, Gani Fawehinmi,etc?

U think we are talking about Festus Keyamo?

U Smoke Ciga this Morning? 😏

Lol.

Justice Oputa of Supreme Court of Nigeria is not in league of Wole Soyinka of this world; a Nobel laureate be it in physics, literature or any field at all is a once in a life time occurrence. I remember WS, Desmond Tutu, Mandela and only a handful in that league in this African generation.

To put in proper context, place Mandela, Obama, WS, Desmond Tutu, Dalailama, now place Justice Oputa in the fray. You would instantly spot him as the odd one out.

WS nor be Charly Boy papa mate.

Akhagbeni11:
If there should be peace give the Senate presidency to the east..

We have given them Presidency of social media. Those guys have fenced themselves out. Very poor politics sense. You want to be Senate President and you are throwing the same Emikolkan rebellion, courting Buhari's support for Asiwaju's administration.

Lovilla:
give your opinion Mr Man

It doesnt matter if its me or my sister.

Before it gets out of hand she should quickly rally support of all the figures he respects. She should be discrete and careful in an engagement that must be handled with utmost maturity.

Figures as the man's father, senior friend, boss/ senior colleague, pastor, etc. He would always need or look up to these set of people and I'm sure matured engagement by these set of people would make him see the shame in giving up a family for a maid.

Friends can even use another fling relationship to clear the maid- love in his eyes.

It's obvious the respect for the wife is broken down. Enlist the help of those he respects before the maid gets pregnant.

Felix6:
you guys are trying hard to twist the narrative. Tinubu's rejection has nothing whatsoever to do with tribe or party. We voted against him simply because of glaring flaws and impending disaster. The old man is incapacitated, demented and Obviously not in anyway aware of his immediate environment. You all are at ease at the moment because he has not dropped missiles lately. Soonest he will address the public again and all these glaring blunders will be exposed to the public again. Had APC presented Osibanjo Obi wouldn't have been in the discussion today. The yorubas that voted against him remember how muted Tinubu was when ISKILU WAKILI was sacking people from their homes in the south west. And many more. I don't know how the IGBO narrative came to bear here. Fully Edolite sha.

You need to understand the dempgraphy that make up the voting population in Nigeria before you claim that "we voted for Obi". Question is who are the We?"

Atiku was right when he said North is not so active on social media. Ask yourself who are the we? Its like Funke Akindele referring to social media followers.

Come down to basics, mo president has ever won in Nigeria without support of the North. Obi a candidate sure of East and majority of South South sought to cancel steep advantages of his opponents by appealing to Northern blocs. OBJ went round to promote him and was told point blank they were not comfortable with an Eastern candidate? Kwankwaso repeated same thing as reason he couldn't run as Obi's deputy. Obasanjo returned with the reality of Igbophobia and has continued to preach healing before the election. Google Sir Ahmadu Bello's speech on Ibo to under the depth of distrust; it's older than you and I.

So when you say we voted Obi I respect Easterners and majority South south did but not in the West or North. Obi's religious card was not well calculated. A Yoruba man doesn't care if his wife and children are Christians (case in point Tinubu), so his religious card fell flat in the West and excluded the North who never even trusted him abinitio.

That guy came 3rd but he is the choice of social media active users.

infohenry:
But you all shout about igbo man being tribalistic, no hausa/Fulani will vote igbo, nobody from west will vote igbo man and you expect igbo man to reject his own to answer nice people before bigots like you.

Soon this evil alliance between you guys and Hausa/Fulani because what it means nobody from the SS, SE and NC will ever rule Nigeria but what happened in 25th Feb. Shocked you guys because these zones voted massively for Obi, that what lead to suspension result transmission because it was already known he will win the majority vote and trash anybody in the run off which Tinubu was not even in the race.

Tinubu owns his victory to governors and politicians that started rewriting the results.

He lost completely that is the fact.

You are still using the Obidient- sense and until you remove that cap you go still wallow inside that hypnosis.

Kwankwaso said it, NEF said it, they tild Obasanjo when he went to canvass support for Obi. Hausas cannot vote for Ibo man. They could risk South and Middle belt but not Igbo man.

Whether it is right is a story for another day. Personally I think its not. But Hausas cannot forget Major Kaduna Nzeogwu treachery. I am not sure Yoruba too would have forgiven if it consumed Awolowo.

Obi won in middle belt but could never have won 25% in the North. Experienced politicians know this. Fayose told him to his face in Ekiti- I have no doubt you can win but the 25% is the issue. Kwankwaso was point blank that where I come from they cannot vote a person from Obi's part of the country.

Obj says something about igbophobia, he says it's time to heal, I agree but the phobia is real and it affected Obi's performance at the last election.

rummmy:
there is no state in the north or south west that don't have 30% non indigen mostly igbos...so to say that he didn't get 25% in 25 states is a joke taken too far ...inec was not transparent.

What a joke. So if Nigeria has a population of 210m people and Southeast has about 35m, you are saying 30% of remaining 180m people; 60m are mostly Igbo. Igbo by your Obidient- sense is about 95m translating to near 50% of Nigerian population.

1 out of every 2 Nigerian is an igbo man. Dats some wonderful reasoning! Abeg yen me the number of your mkpumiri vendor. Nna mehn your reasoning too high!

How was he rigged out in the Fairest election ever since 1999?

Buhari ensured ruling party didn't enjoy any advantage whatsoever.

Military and security forces that hitherto hounded opposition, even sitting Governor were as neutral as we ever saw

Vote buying preventive measures targeted at ruling party candidate was excruciatingly implemented to the disadvantage of the ruling party

BVAS eliminated ghost voting population of about 10million that usually came from the big K states

No underaged voters fof the first time.

Results sheets was for the first time published with all signatures of party agents.

Lowest deaths and violence of any presidential election.

If anybody should be crying foul at all, it should be Atiku not Obi or Kwankwaso. Obi had no path at all to 25% of 25 states.

Take off your Obidient cap and reason this 1 Question- Would 25% of Hausa/ Fulani states vote an IBO man on the least familiar party platform of the top 4 parties (APC, PDP, NNPP & LP). Your answer is realistically No and the reason predates you and I. You can Google the last alliance between Hausa and igbo through Major Kaduna Nzeogwu.

Tntsi:
Tinubu build lagos finish, but goes to Europe for his medical. It is the blind followers I blame.

Obi build Anambra finish but hin no fit live there. Na Tinubu's Lagos him and Chukwudi dey dey hustle.

Channels fine was an encouragement rather than a deterrence. Seun Okinbaloye is obviously not sober

How does Prof Soyinka in one breath claim the entirety of Datti's invertiew was inciteful and in another breath condemn fine agaimst the platform/ anchor of the same length of the interview.

Crafteck1:
For the apc supporters here, one question please...

WAS THE ELECTION FAIR?

Election wasn't perfect but about being Fair, it's the fairest we have had in a very long peobably ever.

1. Security agencies that used to carry ballots, arrest opposition, even manhandle a sitting governor were most neutral than we have ever seen.

2. Ghost voters that used to swell population were all removed through BVAS. So the Big K- states sarted reflecting realistic numbers.

3. Underaged voters were prevented by BVAS

4. Presidency despite damage to the image of their own party prevented vote vote buying through the excruciating cashless policy

5. BVAS and IREV ensured the sanctity of Form EC8 and the result sheet which used to be shrowded in secrecy.

6. We witnessed the least death and violence ever in the history of presidential elections.

Shikini:
If you leak Tinubu's calls with Islamic religious leaders, you'll be surprised

Leak it first. Before then let's address this leaked disappointment.

UncleAyo:
I already said it on another thread that he might be having mental health challenge and may need immediate medical attentions.

Election outcome can be stressful especially if it's against one's expectation; When your supported candidate did not win.

I'm becoming a little teary right now after reading this new because I know what it feels to have a mental health challenged person as a close relative (although when managed, they usually live normal life).

He is sure an obedient before his episode.

Other Obidients should learn from this event and not to overdo yourself because, if any negative thing happens to you due to your support for Peter Obi, other Obidients will immediately jettison you.

There's mental care at Kikiri for all Mama Chukwudi children wey nor dey hear word. Before dey even hear you, not to talk of prove your insanity in a case as grevious as Treason, 10 years done pass.

All you Obidiotds should just start practicing exclusive beans diet.

OP at this rate, there's no way you wouldn't join your Eze and Kanu in their Kuje prison, Biafran enclave before the end of April.

A man was arrested brewing anarchy and inviting IPOB to Lagos and you are telling us what party he belongs and other irrelevancies.How does that lighten his Treason charge or that of the man who called for Interim Government on the plane.

One thing is sure if they manage to ever be free before they die, their lives would never be the same again.

Many of you would join them before May 29

helinues:
In Nigeria standard, this 2023 election was credible.

Were you people expecting 100% free, fair and credible election in Nigeria before?

Election had no underaged voters,
No double voting
Lowest deaths,
No hoarding of result sheets
Lowest ballot snatching
No ghost voters

In this same country we witnessed Mike Tyson and Buster Douglas registered as voters in one Senatorial constituency.

Nyash and waist, woman!!!! That's all he knows and sings about. I like Davido but I feel he should have gone past singing these kind of songs like an upcoming artist. Burna and Wizz have gone far, now Temz, uncle still dey sing nyash and waist

Go buy Tems now. Dats d lyrics we like. Naija too hot, we just need unserious gbedu to relax.

You even mention Wizkid for sensible lyrics. Se those pangolo manya wushi wishi penkelemessi? He dey make sense when me too don loud on SK level.

Empty chest beater.Datti our amiable VP is in his university,If Dem born you well,go anywhere close to it

Children of nowadays! Abiola was locked up and died inside jail, heaven did not fall. In one day Tafawa Balewa, Akintola and all Nigerian premiers were taken out, heaven did not fall.

If dem born Obi or Datti well, make dem go make thar kind speech one more time. Kanu is in the prison and South East continues to burn, heaven hasn't fallen.
