APC is an expired drug. Nigerians now know what it means to vote against good luck.

If you read the person I replied to, you'll see I said OBJ started and GEJ completed.....

The contract for the construction of this second phase development of the power plant at Omotosho (Omotosho II) was initially executed with the contractors Messrs China Machinery & Engineering Corporation (CMEC) in April 2007 as a combined cycle power plant with 4 GE Frame 9 gas turbines and additional 2 steam turbines powered by the gas turbine exhaust heat recovery boilers. However, work could not commence on the project because NIPP funding was suspended immediately the contract was awarded.

This is Phase II which tells you there was a Phase I.
Also it was started in 2010 means the project, design and feasibility studies had had been done before that.

The project was re-scoped to only 4 gas turbines operating in simple cycle mode following the wise counsell you represented and partly captured above. Construction works commenced on site in April 2010 and progressed rapidly according to schedule. The first gas turbine unit plus the common systems went into full commercial operation upon the conclusion of final completion tests on 14th July 2012, while the other three units were completed and put to commercial use in quick succession on 24th September, 30th October and 15th December 2012 respectively.

Those are the dates they were completed not started.

Like I suspected earlier, most were started by OBJ, suspended by Yar'Adua and completed by GEJ.

Right now some are saying it is. It shouldn't be a surprise if there people who insist in 10years time.

VictorRomanov:
10 years from now someone would say the same thing about the current administration - that it was the best Nigeria ever had.

Record high unemployment? I am confused , never before has poverty and unemployment exceeded the record of the current govt with over 79 million extremely poor people ( highest ever in human history anywhere) and over 15 million jobs totally lost yet you are part of the people still canvassing for the second for such poor performance.. Deji don't you think you are a hypocrite at this stage ...

Nigeria under Abacha was a million times more secure than it is today with over 20 thousands lives lost in just 3 years to insecurity under Buhari as compared to less than 700 under Abacha ( yet you still support Buhari)..

Its on record that Abacha built more hospital than the current Buhari govt and fixed more road , then our roads were safe you could travel at night without fear of being robbed by herdsmen .. Apart from rampart fuel shortage under Abacha there is no basis of comparison between Abacha and the failed Buhari you currently support.

What about the countless assassinations including that of Kudirat Abiola(Lagos), Suliat Adedeji(Ibadan) etc & attempted assassination on the likes of Alex Ibru, Abraham Adesanya etc. by the notorious "Strike Force" under the then Maj.Hamza Al-Mustapha

Justice Adeyeye said he spoke to the Governor-Elect, Ayo Fayose to control his crowd. However, in fairness, the Justice Adeyeye said Fayose did not slap him but his supporters attacked him”

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has described as “wicked propaganda,” the news making the rounds that he slapped a judge in the state, as an aftermath of his condemnation of the arrest of judges by officials of the Department of State Services (DSS).

And posting news updates is now being partial?

Furthermore, it was claimed that the provision for Construction of the Terminal Building at Enugu Airport was cut from 2 billion Naira to 500 million Naira and that this will further delay the completion of this critical project. However, for the avoidance of doubt, it is necessary to again clarify that during the budget defense and oversight processes, the National Assembly discovered that out of the N2billion contract for the Enugu Terminal Building, N1.7billion had already been paid to the contractor. And what is left to complete this project is justN300million. Hence, the National Assembly approved N500million for the project — which is even N200million more than was required. We refer Nigerians to a publication in THISDAY newspaper published in April and titled “Giving Enugu Airport a Facelift” and written by the newspaper’s Aviation correspondent, Chinedu Eze, where the Minister of State (Aviation),
Mr. Hadi Sirika was quoted as saying “We just last week released N1.7billion to the contractor and hopefully also, within the shortest possible time, we will release another N300million for him so that they can quickly finish the airport terminal. This will bring the airport to its desired standard.”

Come to think of it, there's hardly any smart person in Nigeria's government. When you think of great countries like the US where a majority of past presidents graduated from very very prestigious universities like Yale, Harvard etc, its just a shame when compared to our Nigerian leaders. What happened to all the bookworms from Nigerian universities, why aren't they in government? Rather we have all these old farts who keep dumbing down the seats that they hold.

Opposition is to give alternative to the status quo

Not just doing it for political gains

Funny ipobs, they sit on NL everyday lying that they are not getting any electricity, but at the same time bragging about all the wonderful power achievements of their looting and stealing PDP uncles that gave them nothing but darkness.


ipobs are relay really lost in their own ridiculous, absurd and senseless translation.
