On whose watch as president was Alamiesegha and Ibori governors?

myproperty:


Oh my beloved country. Politicians would not cease to amaze us, they have different rules for a particular type of issue, the rules that suit them is the rule that is ideal. Let's go back to memory lane.

In 2007 the then INEC Chairman Prof. Iwu conducted an election that was said to be fraudulent by the opposition and collaborated by the then elected president, there was minimal or no violence. Prof. Iwu's tenure was to end on the 13th June 2010 and was forced by GEJ to embark on terminal leave on the 28th April 2010 and there was no noise at all.

Then came prof. Jega on board and he conducted an election in 2011 that was said to be free and fair by all most all observers and the Government but was said to be rigged massively by the opposition, then came one of the worst election violence in Nigeria's history(520 people were killed in Kaduna [b][/b]and Niger state alone,22000 people were displaced, 157 churches and 46 mosques were burnt, 1435 houses were burnt.... http://thelawyerschronicle.com/nigerias-2011-elections-free-fair-and-credible/). note that the opposition led by GMB cried foul, also note the famous inciting statement of ]''let the baboon and dogs be soaked in their blood'' [/b]and also note the personal attacks on the INEC chairman.

-Today the president that claim INEC organized election was free and fair wants to force Jega on retirement.
- Today the opposition that says the election organized by Jega in 2011 was massively rigged wants him to remain there.

Prof. Iwu went for terminal leave it was not said to be illegal and so Prof. Jega can also go for terminal leave it would not be illegal too as long as it falls within the time frame. His tenure would expire on 23rd June 2015 meaning that he can go for terminal leave on the 23rd March and it won't be illegal.

Is it in your senatorial district that alameseigha is contesting for senate or is that you don't follow events so as to be updated?

[s]Agbakoba knows that APC is not the party we need cos they are good at making promises they cannot fulfil.
They say they will fight corruption meanwhile their major financier, Tinubu, is smelling heavily of corruption. Atiku's case is too bad that I can't even mention it here.
They say they will stabilise oil price meanwhile OPEC, an international organisation that comprises countries that are major producers of oil, who is even the only body that has the strongest influence on oil price is still unable to stabilise oil price.
They say they will create jobs meanwhile the bulk of the unemployed youths are resident in the states where they control (ie Lagos and Kano) and they've not been able to solve the unemployment crises in their state.
They say they will eradicate Boko Haram but they never told us how they would do it differently from the way Jonathan is doing it. I'm sure they are even surprised at our current victory against the terrorist.[/s]

1. 2012 SUBSIDY REMOVAL...
[s]The Governors Forum comprising of ACN/APC, PDP and APGA Governors led By APC's Rotimi Amaechi in 2011 agreed with the FG to remove subsidy. www.thisdaylive.com/articles/fg-governors-agree-on-removal-of-fuel-subsidy/99978/

The same ACN/APC later played to the gallery to condemn President Jonathan and Okonjo Iwaela for removing fuel subsidy. They didnt sanction and condemn their Governors that had proposed it along with PDP Govs.

2. EXCESS CRUDE ACCOUNT DEPLETION
Since the Obasanjo administration, state Governors had been putting pressure on the government for the sharing of the Excess Crude Account which they termed "illegal". The pressure was transferred to Musa Yar Adua and when Jonathan took over in acting capacity, the Governors led Bukola Saraki(Now APC Senator) demanded that the ECA be shared. The President obliged after they instituted legal action. Amaechi led NGF went for the final kill to demand for the sharing of the Excess Crude Account. The question now is What Project did these Governors embark on with there share of the $20b ECA? What did APC Govs Amaechi, Fayemi, Fashola, Ahmed, Yari, Shetima etc do with their share of ECA? What moral justification does the Apc have to blame Jonathan for the depletion of ECA?

3. CHIEF ALAMESIEGHA PARDON...
The National Council of State is a statutory advisory body which comprises of All Former Heads of State, Former President, the 36 Governors, the Chief Justice of the Federation, President of Senate and House of Representative Speaker, the Vice President and the President as the Chairman. In 2013 the body pardoned former Governor of Bayelsa State Chief Alamesiegha, who was convicted for corruption. APC's Governors Ibikunle Amosun, Adams Oshiomhole were at the meeting; while Nasarawa state governor, Tanko Al Makura, sent in his deputy, Dameshi Luka. Three Former Heads of State were also present.Nobody raised opposing voice.
Sadly, the opposition and a section of the media have been "Blaming it on President Jonathan".

4. TRANSPARENT LEADERSHIP...
Jonathan signed the Freedom of Information bill into law on May 30, 2011. Just 24hrs after presented with the bill. The law has given Nigerians the privilege to know how much the president appropriates for feeding allowance, nigerians can access contractual documents entered by the federal government. We can invoke it to see invoices and know what goes on. With the FOI, it becomes difficult for thieves to steal without being exposed. Shady deals can never be hidden from the public etc. We may not have perfected its use but we are on the right track.

Meanwhile the APC and their supporters keep telling us how Jonathan is the most corrupt leader in human history. The same "incorruptible" APC specifically their Governors in Lagos, Rivers and Oyo have been fighting tooth and nail to ensure that the law isn't domesticated. They will rather not let us see their books and only feed us whatever suits them. For instance Governor FASHOLA and Ajimobi refused to grant the request of SERAP to access document on how they expended World Bank Education loan that runs into multi-million dollars in their respective states. Fashola also vehemently told a Lagos resident that his(resident) request to see the invoices of Tinubu Owned Alpha Beta shall NEVER be granted.

I don't know who is "more" corrupt between a President that allows everyone to see the books and opposition that vowed never to be transparent?

5. ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
In 2011 Nigerians in unison blasted Goodluck Jonathan and VP Sambo for "dodging" the NN24 debate. In fact the opposition parties took it personal. The President was so moved and he repented of such undemocratic decision. His party announced their readiness to participate in ANY Presidential debate against the APC and Buhari.
The Apc and Gen Buhari on the other hand took over the undemocratic arrogance in this 2015. They first gave their word that they will participate in a neutraly organised Presidential debate. ChannelsTV came to the rescue and they(APC and Buhari) withdrew at the last minute. Not just that, they closed every avenue for Presidential debate but rather adopts "Arrangee" Town Hall Meeting where their supporters will ask them questions that they already know the answer. Their Presidential candidate will rather go to London to deliver speech to audience without PVC than to engage his fellow contestants in debates. What are they afraid of?

6. BUHARI STAND ON BOKO HARAM: AMNESTY OR NO AMNESTY?
Buhari in April 2013 stated his support for amnesty for BokoHaram. In his own word in support of the FG proposed Amnesty for BH.


However, it was worrisome when only few days ago the same General Buhari told his London Audience at the Chattham house that

One begins to wonder why the exGeneral will say one thing in Nigeria, and another in London?[/s]

Nctrice:
if stealing is corruption how come you dictionary never listed "Stealing" as a synonym of corruption?

You Need Jesus!

US proposed a plan to gas the areas in Sambisa forest and then send in a raid mission to rescue the girls while the terrorist captors are paralyzed asleep.

[s]I am sure your office is your mobile phone. Why should I give a monkeys di.ck if it is streamed or shown on TV. How does that improve my life ?[/s]

felifeli:


I couldn't afford to watch TV at 11am ? You are damn right you fool. I was busy working. Only unemployed people watch TV at 11 in the morning. So you that watched, how has it improved your life since then ? Continue to shout Sai Buhari all over the street you hear, until you become an old man and your children start calling you stvpid.

felifeli:
[s]I still don't understand this man Buhari and the colonial mentality of his cohorts. You went to London , paid alarge amount of money to make use of Chatam hall, then you read a speech prepared by a PR agency and your supporters think you have done something extraordinary.
Haba ! Reading a speech is extraordinart?
APC I hail your presidential material o.
Chai Buhari
