[quote author=. =]Says ‘stolen’ funds kept for Buhari 2019 re-election bid By Dirisu Yakubu ABUJA-The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called for the immediate investigation into the alleged breach of due process in the $25 billion contract award involving the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru. KACHIKWU and BARU Minister of State, Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu had on Tuesday in a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, accused Baru of awarding contracts totalling $25 billion without the input of the NNPC board, even as he described his conduct as an act of insurbodination. Reacting to the development, the PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, called for the immediate commencement of investigation into the allegations, saying President Buhari should, without further delay demonstrate his anti-corruption credentials by speaking up on the alleged scam. “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wishes to express our shock at the loud silence of President Muhammadu Buhari on the humongous corruption scandal and other illegalities currently being exposed at the nation’s cash cow, the NNPC in which two of his henchmen, the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu and the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Maikanti Baru are the dramatis personae. “As a political party, we expect that the President, who prides himself as an indefatigable corruption fighter, would for once try to live above board, by genuinely allowing one of his own, accused of corruption, get properly investigated and prosecuted as a show of his impartiality in the war against corruption. “He should do this to correct the open impression Nigerians have about his so-called anti-corruption war; that it’s just a tool of persecution of perceived enemies,” the statement read in part. The party warned against any official cover up, adding that Baru’s alleged misdeeds must be search lighted to prove his innocence or otherwise. “We view the allegations levelled against Baru by Kachikwu as too grave to be swept under the carpet and we insist that the NNPC GMD must be treated like an accused who should not have the opportunity to influence investigation into his alleged misdeeds. “We demand an immediate suspension of the NNPC GMD so that proper investigation can be carried out by the relevant anti-corruption agencies,” it stated, saying it appears President Buhari by his silence is shielding the NNPC boss in a manner similar to the case of one of his trusted officials some few months ago. The statement continued: “Ordinarily, if there was sincerity in the anti-corruption war , President Muhammadu Buhari should not have waited for any prompting before he takes a decisive action on this matter, but as customary with his administration, we suspect that he’s trying to shield Baru as he did for Babachir Lawal, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) whom he merely suspended to allow the hullabaloo generated by the fraud perpetrated in the management of the emergency fund for the IDPs, die down. Also up till now, we have never heard anything again about the millions of dollars and billions of naira discovered at an Ikoyi apartment. “Nigerians have not forgotten the acts of illegality and double standard perpetrated by the president in refusing to hand over Lawal to the EFCC for proper investigation and possible prosecution for graft, but rather, preferring to give the task of investigation of the open sleaze to the Vice President, in a move not known to any law of this nation. “Even at that, the report of the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo-led committee is gathering dust on the shelf of the President because he probably could not bear to see one of his closest allies punished by the laws of the land, even when all facts show that blatant and unbridled theft was perpetrated by the president’s man.” The PDP further condemned what it called the “hypocrisy” of the Buhari administration, noting that the arms’ deal scandal for which Col. Ibrahim Dasuki is currently in custody for, was a fraction of the contract sum Baru is alleged to have fraudulently awarded. It added: “The sum involved in the NNPC scandal is $25 Billion. Less than 10% percent of that ($2 billion) is involved in the so called arms’ fund allegedly converted by the former NSA for which hundreds of Nigerians have been arrested and hounded. “Nigerians can now see the hypocrisy in the so called anti-corruption fight. We may as well say that the privileged class of APC members enjoys total immunity from the anti-corruption campaign. “Tired of this double-faced corruption fight and cover-ups, we demand an immediate commencement of investigation into this latest exposed sleaze by another of President Buhari’s men. “We have been saying this for months that the looting of the nation’s resources under this administration is record setting in the history of this nation and we are being proven right on daily basis by the little revelations that are being made by even those working under the administration. “We wonder what the stench will be when the real and hidden atrocities being perpetrated under the watch of President Buhari are finally exposed when Nigerians throw the APC government out of power in 2019. “The sum of $25 Billion said to have been the subject of the latest controversy, when converted to naira is about N9 Trillion, a sum that is bigger than the nation’s annual budget. “This we find, is one of the very many reasons, the nation’s economy has nosedived under the inept administration of the APC. “The allegations raised by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources is a confirmation of our earlier stance that the APC administration is in tatters, an administration without coordination, but one planted firmly in the hands of a few cabal who are stealing the nation dry while the President continues to feign ignorance of the sickening stench. “If not, how on earth can President Muhammadu Buhari justify a situation where a Minister he appointed to serve under him, presiding over an important sector like the oil sector, be turned to a mere house-help who must get clearance from some “outsiders ” before accessing the president? “How on earth will a mere Managing Director of a corporation have the temerity to sideline a minister under whom he works and take decisions without consultation with the appropriate authority? “How on earth could the NNPC GMD have been bold enough to sideline the entire board of NNPC and take such far reaching decisions that have grave implications on the nation’s economy alone? “We suspect and our suspicion is reinforced by the unfolding events that powerful people at the corridors of power are tacitly involved in this. If the President’s powerful Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari could sit on the NNPC board and such a calamity is taking place without an eyelid being blinked, we are forced to believe that the stealing is being done to the advantage of the President who has shown by his body language that the only thing that matter most to him for now, is his second term ambition. “Will it be considered a “hate speech ” if we say the money being stolen by President Buhari’s men are being kept aside into a special pool for the prosecution of his second term ambition? “We challenge the president to prove us wrong by allowing his allies being caught up in acts of brazen stealing of our commonwealth, get punished in accordance with the laws of the land. Anything aside this, we will take as confirmation of our suspicion that the rottenness is from the very top. “We demand as bonafide Nigerians, an express order from President Buhari to the NNPC GMD asking him to go on compulsory leave so that investigation into the matter at stake can be conducted without interference. “We also demand an order from the President to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and other anti-graft agencies to immediately commence investigation into all issues of corruption levelled against Baru, as well as other persons who might have overtly or covertly participated in the illegal act.” “Much as we commend the National Assembly for indicating interest in probing the allegations against the NNPC GMD as approved in the adoption of the motion moved by Senator Samuel Anyanwu at the Wednesday plenary, we wish to appeal to the leadership of the Senate to prevail on the Ad-hoc committee set up for the purpose of the investigation, to make their sitting open to all Nigerians so that nothing will be surreptitiously swept under the carpet.”

Walahi, Nigeria is totally finished.

Soon it will be obvious what Nigeria army did to nnamdi Kanu.

This is just peace of the graveyard.

Anywhere you go, it is Igbos paying the supreme price to save Nigeria.
Yet,they are treated less than citizens. WHY??

DelGardo:
Even after I informed you that serious work is on going on PH - Enugu express way and that an ecological fund project is even going on in my little village Awlaw in Oji River LGA. You still ignorantly ask me to mention one project. I tire for you, Sir.

SE got N16b in October from the Sukkuk bond. Same amount as other zones. Where is the 5% talk in that?

Payment is being made to our abandoned civil war heroes. Is that also a sign of the devil's incarnate?

Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene that was abandoned by Jonathan is fully repaired; by the same Buhari we love to hate

I know the state of PH - Owerri road around Umuagwo before Buhari came. Go there now and see the smart solution that this admin has provided. Now u can drive from PH to Owerri with eyes closed

As I said you must not like the man. You can demand more but I encourage you to stop the baseless hatred. Especially since you love someone who treated you worse. Stop being a bigot.

You better stop lying. This statement alone makes me think you are Abagworo that thinks everyone online is a fool so he lies shamelessly on things everyone can verify is a lie.

Rotimi Amaechi built the road from PH to Owerri and stopped at the Rivers state boundary. HE WAS NOT REFUNDED BY FG!

The same FG has not completed the dualization from Rivers State boundary to reach Owerri.- FACT!
NDDC stepped in and repaired a few really bad sections and now funding most of the project.

We discussed the same topic here in NL : https://www.nairaland.com/2398372/11-states-seek-n300.5bn-refund
http://www.thescoopng.com/2014/07/06/gov-amaechi-says-fg-owes-rivers-state-n105-billion-get-huge/

Now please stop lying and post the projects you claimed happened in your hometown Awlaw. Muo Asi!

By the way, stop googling names of towns in Enugu state and claiming they are your hometown. I actually have very close family friends from Awlaw and can verify anything happening in that town

Willie Is Working In Nise Town.

Operation Light Up Anambra.

Streetlights glowing from Ngene-Awka Market Nise to Eke Market Nibo.

The street light projects will encourage night life, boost evening businesses and reduce night-time dangers, as it is an added advantage to the security operatives in manning the communities at night effectively.

Willie is Working. Ndị Anambra are Happy.


APGA BỤ NKE ANYỊ

#ReElectObiano

Even villages in Anambra have tarred roads and functional street lights.

God bless Willie Obiano for his burning desire to develop the state. I just love that the man has high taste to do modernize the place.

Everyday these shameless people are lying.

7 million ko, 9 million ni.

Why not say Buhari created 70 million purple collar jobs?

Nigerians, please stop lamenting. You are in a one chance bus A.K.A bus driven by crooks and rogues.

Just lie down and take their lies while they violate everything they have said. It's the nature of crooks to make promises they have no intentions to keep.

They will still come back next year and start another litany of lies to get your votes and some silly people will still vote them and begin complaining later. It's their life they are playing with. Na dem sabi.

This dance is exactly what Buhari and his supporters are doing to Nigerians. They preach to you and if they need you, they use you and dump you immediately. You are just a thing to use in their political pursuit.

Osinbajo is economically sound, he sure knows his job

If Osinbajo were President or even allowed to function well as Vice President, the Buhari regime would not have been a disaster that it became.

spyder880:
Another observation.

Many people are no longer building industries, factories and production facilities inside the Emene industrial layout anymore, I see schools, churches and housing estates springing up inside the layout.

Are there no laws made to state what the use of these lands are, I think we should restrict the use to industrial purposes and revocation of allocation done if an person deviates from the plan.

One thing the Southeast Governors should do for posterity is to DESIGNATE land for the 5 industrial clusters (One for each state) which they promised.
More importantly, they should look for locations that have abundant gas in the region and partner with indigenous oil firms and Shell to tap gas from those oil wells to supply the industrial clusters. If states like Ebonyi have no gas oil wells, it can be supplied through pipeline from Enugu, Anambra or Abia.

The gas plan for the region is the only way to reduce cost of manufacturing due to unreliable electricity in Nigeria and particularly in the region.

Nigerian army lol....
Nigerian army, Navy or airforce only know how to build themselves fancy buildings in Abuja. As for training, operational capability or even serviceable equipment, you have no idea how deep the decay.

You think if a real conflict breaks out between Nigeria and ANY country in West Africa, Nigeria will survive it? Nigeria can't even defeat Boko Haram and it is talking about conflict with another country? Okay oo.

Why not give them 2 hours ortimatum? When you didn't pay them not make budgetary allocation for the road.They always think everyone else is stupid

If you are a northerner and specifically a Fulani, you are free to steal and loot Nigeria as much as you want under Buhari.

life2017:
Before we can say IPOB had impact in Anambra governorship election, voters turnout need to be less than 15%. Anything more than that IPOB cannot boast they had any significant impact in Anambra Election.

Historically, turnout in Anambra Election has always be low. In 2013 election that elected Obiano during his first term, out of about 1.8million registered voters only about 452 thousands voters voted. That gave a voter turn out of about 25%. Even with the low official turnout, there was still cases of multiple thumb printing, inflated results and rigging. Which means the actual voters turn out may be around 20%.


We need to understand this before IPOB start shouting victory in November 18th 2017 election if the turnout is low.

You can get the detail of anambra 2013 election results in the links below:

Everything often boil down to knowledge and common sense.

Anambra People shine your eyes and remain vigilant.
APC is out to use Nigeria army to write fake results and rape Anambra electorates

Your camera phone must be used to record the results in your polling station and sent immediately.
Let us see how those that hope to write bogus reports in Abuja will disprove those videos in court.

obailala:
Mr, please fvck off my mentions. I could use an argument with a more sensible human. Thanks

Buhari Bin-Laden group and their truly shameless band of liars.

Why not just say Buhari built;

1. Lagos to Kano rail line
2. Kano to Maiduguri rail line
3. Sokoto to Calabar railway line with a spur to Abuja.
4. Lagos to Calabar railway line with a spur to Onitsha
6. Five new power plants at A, B, X,Y,Z
7. 20,000 housing units in each state capital
8. Concessioned five international airports to reputable multinational companies
9. Rebuilt and concessioned major expressways to reputable construction companies
etc , etc , etc,

You cannot say any of the above because Buhari's regime was not about development of Nigeria, it was about vengeance and turning Nigerians against each other.

Ofcourse, you can very well lie that all the above had been built because the APC goons are typically shameless fantastic liars. The fact you say them does not mean anyone believes you, we just know it's the same pitiful liars making fo0l of themselves thinking they are fooling Nigerians.

The same Government that screams "No Kworruption"

Now they are lobbying the senate to save a corrupt government official who is their friend.

You can smell the HYPOCRISY of anti-Corruption sweet talk of this regime.

Nigeria is now a laughing stock.
