DMilanista: like I have pointed out, get us d amount of debt Amosun inherited first. Then we can start analysis from there.

DMilanista: Did u read my comment well? In case u didn't, d immediate past Governor, Gbenga Daniel that incurred d bulk of d debt was in PDP, now in Labour Party. For other states, I don't know. I'm not a politician. I don't belong to any party. All I want to see is development in my state which dis guy is doing, not propaganda. I shuttle between Oyo state and Ogun state and I can really tell of a big difference within the last 3yrs. Those are the things we want to see.

DMilanista: Oh, because he blocked chop-chop in civil service, he is an enemy to the civil service. Because he decided to reduce the school fees of tertiary institutions that were raised in d last administration, he's now an enemy of students. What again? Give me more.
I'm not really surprised. I realised his haters are basically d pro-Gbenga Daniels who looted d state dry and sank it to d debt it is now in, d pro-Osobas, who found it hard to godfather him and the Ogas in d civil service who are finding it hard to get their normal kickbacks.
Throughout my stay in Ogun, this is d only Governor that I v seen that really worked. If the past governors really worked in place of propaganda, Ogun state would have been way ahead in terms of development.
Long live Ogun state!

kel4soft: Shut up!!! What vintage point? Hasn't he challenge anyone who care to expose him if they care? What will the perpetrators of this lies not piint one asset he has in Nigeria? Why Ghana? You think i am gullible? The energy you spend on Amaechi can help your state progress. On leaving the state with debt, Peter Obi left a debt of $43m for Anambra State but was hailed as a standard for managing resources. Since Cross River has a debt of $120m on her head. Then, don't bother about Rivers State. Meanwhile, it seems you are daft.

duni04: Lenders give momey to people that are credit worthy and have the means to pay back. All the states in the south west have very huge debts because they generate the largest IGR's in the country. It makes economic sense to hedge your high IGR against your debt in order to fund developmental projects. If other states in Nigeria (that are soley dependent on federal allocations) are not taking the initiative its nobody's fault.

DMilanista: Dat's a big fat lie. A larger chunk of d debt was inherited from OGD administration. I remember then when Amosun came in, Daniel claimed he left a debt of about N50bn which Amosun countered, that d debt was like close to N90bn. So get ur facts right Mr!

Swizdoe: something far from quality........ The 20 model schools he started in 2012 is still uncompleted ( he is trying to use it for campaign).... He oppressed the civil servants since 2011 until now that he is trying to warm up to them by approving their various bonuses just like he is trying to woo the students with the reduced tution fee..... Lest I forget, OOU students are waiting for him in 2015

kel4soft: Please provide the pictures of the mansions in Ghana and him seated inside or forever remain silent. Please it seems you have miss so much. This propaganda of refinery and mansions in Ghana doesn't work again. Find another story

kel4soft: The same way I am begging you to help tell your boss in Bayelsa to try and develop the state. Thanks

kel4soft: Then, you are what? You are PDP card carrying member. You create articles to attack APC states, so people should all agree with you Now FYI, the Governor wont touch that money that money. He is only securing the loan. Infact for you to access that kind it takes time. If FG (Abuja) and other states who don't can go for World Bank. Why not Rivers State.

For the water project read http://www.thetidenewsonline.com/2014/08/25/amaechi-defends-200m-water-loan-says-itll-benefit-rivers-people-in-future/ of interest “ …Many people were shouting ‘don’t take the loans’, the train they are building in Lagos is $500million from World Bank and we are only borrowing $200million to give Port Harcourt water which will not even be done by my government. What I am doing is trying to get the money out.”
The loan, according to the governor, will be paid back in 40 years and will not be a strain to the next administration considering the repayment scheme.
“ The loan goes for 2.4 per cent for 40 years. So, even though we are paying t$2 per day for 40 years, we would have finished paying the loan and that will give Port Harcourt water and reduce death from water-borne disease,” he said.[i][/i]

I rather be an Amaechi paid piper than be a fool like you. I rather you concentrate your energy on Bayelsa State and stop reading profiles cos none gave a toss what you think about me. I am proud Rivers man, who will keep supporting the state when I see it going on a right path. Rivers State is bigger than Abuja or Aso Rock for me.

Meanwhile, why have you refused to furnish me on how Enugu and Cross River will pay those huge sums on their heads?

kel4soft: You are bigger than what you are doing? An elementary school pupilwho wants to score cheap political points wont even open a terrible thread like this. Like I said, Cross River and Enugu are owing more than Rivers and Edo States. The forners are PDP while the latter are APC states. Compare with their financial strengths. Rivers and Edo States can comfortable pay up while that cannot be siaid of the aforementioned PDP States.

kel4soft: Ask the OP, how many PDP states owe more than Rivers State. Infact in Niger Deltan as a whole. Rivers is the 3rd least state out of nine indebted states.

#Abia State - $35.5m
#AkwaIbom State - $59.9m
#Bayelsa State - #33.5m
#Cross River State - $120.2m
#Edo State - $48.4m
#Imo State - $51.2m
#Ondo State - $51.4m


#Rivers State - $45.8m

Honourable mentioned
#Enugu State - $60.3m
#Ebonyi State - $43.3m
#Anambra State - $41.5m

How will States like Enugu and Cross River pay up?

meforyou1: abeg, abeg, abeg, the Federal govt should ban imo state govt from collecting loan again. haba over 51 million naira loan sitting comfortably in okorocha's bank account. no, no, no. this is evil

PassingShot: Myopic way of reasoning.

Many of those "APC states" were PDP states for the better part of this current republic (since 1999) and they've been accumulating debts since then. Nothing was wrong with their level of indebtedness but now that they have switched to APC, their "debts" have become an issue of concern to the OP and his fellow travelers in PDP.

Ridiculous indeed!

dragan: I dont know about other states but i know for a damn fact that a PDP governor stacked Nassarawas debt.
