Billyonaire: Speak for thyself, and not for the entire Western Region, Should I remind you that LAGOS alone is more populous than the rest of the Western States put together ? And Do I need to remind you that we have more non-yorubas in Lagos than Yorubas, You need to sometimes shut-up and think before becoming unelected yoruba reps.

PDP Leads Nigeria With Thieves, Criminals -Uranta print
Published on June 8, 2012 by admin · 4 Comments

Close friend of President Goodluck Jonathan and Co-convener of the National Summit Group, Tony Uranta, has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is made of people with questionable character calling them thieves and criminals.
Uranta, who spoke during a programme on a Lagos-based television late Thursday, said he was not a politician but an activist whose activities had pitched him against the presidency several times.
“I believe the PDP, even though it is the only true national party in Nigeria, is a party leading with a lot of thieves, leading with a lot of criminals.
“I said it before ex-President Obasanjo but I don’t know about rogues and robbers being in the National Assembly.
“What I am saying is that the PDP has people of shady character.”
He also denied that the President sponsored the last conference organised by the National Summit Group as the group had people of integrity like Prof. Pat Utomi, who would not collect such funds from the presidency.Uranta denied being a staunch supporter of the current administration, emphasising that in the last statement of the group, “we said we were voting against certain ministries in the presidency and we were given a qualified vote of confidence in the presidency.
“We of the Niger Delta believe we would have gained more as Niger Deltans if we have a none Niger Deltan as the President, because we would not be over expectant of him. Therefore, we would have piled more pressure in getting the things we want.
“We have been lulled into a false sense of security, a false sense of accomplishment especially because we have, so to say, our son in the presidency.”
He however said though President Jonathan was not a disservice to the people of the area, he had not been engaged enough by the Niger Deltans, adding that people often forget that as the President, he had a nationalist outlook.
Uranta, who said he can never stop being an activist for the Niger Delta, disclosed that Niger Deltans had met and had made up their minds to secede anytime the military struck in the country.
He also said if Nigerians did not like the President, they had the right to vote him out in 2015.
Uranta, who said he did not know why the Boko Haram existed, said it could be linked to the issue of North-South divide.
According to him, while President Jonathan was gunning for the presidency, so many people within the PDP threatened to make the country ungovernable if he comes out, adding that the CPC also made such threat.
He justified President Jonathan’s ‘turning a blind eye’ to the issue of the Boko Haram saying it was better for him to work through various other channels to curb the crisis and their sponsors as a matter of national interest.
He credited the current administration with introduction of the National Security Strategy which had become operational in other countries.

Well said jare!! If they don't like him or want him being honored this way! It means they neva liked him in the first place! And wouldn't ve welcomed the idea of him being president! They shld hweva kip quite and stop saying they deserve apologies for his death, or that they shld be compensated!

Lets not decieve ourselves, the name can neva be changed, the president of d country has announced his decision and he will never want to loose his credibility on this issue...

jason123: Fashola, GOD FORBID IT IN NIGERIA! You hear me so?! GOD FORBID IT!

So people like Ibori, Tinubu,Orji, Akala, OGD, Timpre sylva, Ohakim etc and co can hold us to ransom abi?! I reject state policing in JESUS NAME! Amen!

I'm very surprise at the reaction of some folks here.

If GEJ ever tried doing what Fashola just did, these same ACN
and their cronies including expired analyst seeking relevance
will manipulate the media to chew him raw.

We should put ourselves in the shoes of those Doctors. How does one
rationalise broken agreement on the part of the Lagos State government.
For God's sake, these Dictors are not more greedy than our University lecturers (ASUU)
and the Federal Govt has been managing them over the years.

Funny still how The Nation Newspaper applies every logic to rationalise
evil actions of South West governors except Ondo.

Oil Subsidy, the fact is “we are subsidising West-Africa Nations”, not only Nigeria, people should see through these sentiments. If we are planning not now, probably in the future, to have economic integration with ‘WA Nations’ we have to be selling our Petroleum Products, goods, and services at competitive rates, that is at the same rate across board otherwise we would be doomed as a nation like Greece.

Subsidising every country from Benin Republic in our immediate West of Nigeria, to Mauritania in the far North West of West Africa is a suicidal pact with the devil which we should shy and run away from no matter the hardship.

Monkey dey work baboon dey chop!!! Undecided Huh
