Magu was rejected and declared incapably unfit by the dss which is also a critical apparatus of the executive.

The law states that the legislature have to confirm him considering qualifications and all security informations at their disposal after which they find him wanting and failed to pass screening. The illegality is very clear ,it is corruption in itself.

magoo10:
this is not a matter of ipob ,the laws are very clear moreover there over a thousand competent Nigerians who can do the job .
You build strong institutions not strong men.

Magu alone cannot fight corruption neither can going against the laws do except you are a tyrant or military dictator which is not the system of government.

magoo10:
Magu is an illegality which is another form of corruption.

Blue3k2:
Buhari loves Niger Republic we see a deal every week involving these guys. Why didn't the author tell us which border town it's in. Is the refinery in Katrina or Niger Republic. Ugh I dislike this incomplete articles.

Buhari led projects:

2. Nigeria Niger joint cooperation on mineral exploration (uranium, limestone zinc)
3. Bring in their oil to refine in unspecified place.

Twenty governors and their deputies who are leaving office on May 29 will cost their states billions of naira in entitlements, Daily Trust reports.Their total severance allowances as approved by Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) come up to a total of N4.68 billion.

The revenue commission is the central body responsible for fixing salaries and allowances for political, public and judicial office holders in the country.
The commission has approved payment of 300% basic salary as severance allowances for political office holders on leaving office.
However, various state assemblies had approved a wide range of entitlements for governors that will enable them live in comfort for life at the expense of tax payers.

The outgoing governors are Babatunde Fashola (Lagos), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano), Ibrahim Shema (Katsina) Ramalan Yero (Kaduna), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Isa Yuguda (Bauchi), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Saidu Dakingari (Kebbi), Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), Bala Nggilari (Adamawa), Danbaba Suntai (Taraba), Gabriel Suswam (Benue), Jonah Jang (Plateau), Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Martins Elechi (Ebonyi), Sullivan Chime (Enugu), Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta), Theodore Orji (Abia), and Liyel Imoke (Cross River).

These include 100% current pay for life, one or two mansions built and furnished by the state, free medical service, fully paid annual vacation, cars and numerous aides.

In few instances outgoing governors even have paid themselves hundreds of millions of naira weeks before vacating office.

RIVERS: 3 NEW CARS EVERY 4 YEARS

The Rivers State Pensions for Governor and Deputy Governor was passed in 2012. For all the wealth of the state, the conditions are a bit modest. A former governor is entitled to just one house “anywhere in Nigeria” and three new cars every four years. There will be free medical care (no cap) for the former governor and deputy and their families ─ which cover both married and unmarried children. Interestingly, like Lagos, there will be a cook, steward and gardener but unlike Lagos, they are not pensionable.

THE BENEFITS

Annual Basic Salary: 100% of annual basic salaries of the incumbent governor and deputy.

Accommodation: One residential house for former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy.

Furniture: 300% of annual basic salary every four years “en bloc”.

House maintenance: 10% of annual basic salary.

AKWA IBOM: N100M FOR MEDICAL


The law in Akwa Ibom, which was first passed in 1998, provides free medical treatment for ex-governors, their spouses, ex-deputy governors and their spouses. Until the controversial amendment that was done in April, there was no cap for the expenses. The law said “free medical treatment”. In effect, an ex-governor could spend N500 million or more on medical per year. With the amendment, however, a former governor and spouse could not spend more than N100 million a year, and a former deputy and spouse a maximum of N30 million. Widows/widowers of former governors are entitled to N12 million a year, while those of deputy governors would get N6 million.

Annual Basic Salary: 100% of annual basic salaries of the incumbent governor and deputy.

Accommodation: One house not below 5-bed maisonette in either Abuja or Akwa Ibom for the former governor; 500% annual basic for the deputy.

Furniture: 300% of annual basic salary every four years.

House maintenance: Nil.

Domestic staff: Amount not above N5 million for ex-governor and N2.5 million for ex-deputy to employ cook, chauffeurs and security.

Why is it so hard to believe?
By Lagos assembly enacted law,and many other state governments for that matter,governors are entitled to be built houses,fully furnished in any part of Lagos and any other part of Nigeria.Their deputies I think have a choice of just one location.

FORMER PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN SPEAKS OUT...

I Didn't Hand Over A Collapsed Nation To Buhari - Dr. Goodluck Jonathan:

- Former President, Goodluck Jonathan has replied his critics who accused him of handing over a nation at the verge of collapse to his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari.

- Jonathan recounted the achievements of his government to include, handing over a country that produced the richest man in Africa.

- Jonathan said, “I took over a Nigeria that was the second largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $270.5 billion in 2009,

- I handed over a Nigeria that had grown to become the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the World with a GDP of $574 billion.

- I handed over dollar exchange rate of N187 per Dollar official rate in our banks, compared to their N360 now official rate for a Dollar

-“I inherited a Nigeria in which the trains were not working, and handed over a Nigeria in which citizens can safely travel by trains again.

- I also inherited a country where illiteracy rate particularly in the Northern part was alarming.

- I handed over a country where every state in the North and indeed all the states had a Federal University. I inherited a country where there was total infrastructural decay in all the unity schools and colleges of education.

- But I handed over a country with massive infrastructural improvement in almost higher institutions.

- I inherited a country where agricultural inputs and production were almost zero.

- But I handed over a country where a bag of rice was sold for N6,500 to N7000.

- My regime since the establishment of ecological fund office did more irrigation dams in the North and other parts of the country than other subsequent administrations put together.

- I inherited epileptic fuel supplies resulting to endless queues at the filling stations. I maintained despite enormous challenges of fuel subsidies and handed over a relatively stable fuel regime and also at a managed local price of N87 per litre.

- I inherited a Nigeria that was a net importer of cement, and handed over a Nigeria that is a net exporter of cement.

- In 2009 the richest Nigerian was the 5th richest man in Africa, but I handed over a Nigeria that produced the richest man in Africa.

- The former President further stated " I inherited a country where people were almost losing hope on the credibility of its electoral process but I noticed that democracy will continue to grow in the African continent if leaders value the process of elections more than the product of the process. I handed over electoral process that engendered fairness in its conduct and conclusiveness ".

- He said, “Even in the 2015 general elections in my country, Nigeria, there was potential for major crisis if I was not a President duly elected by the will of the people.

- “The campaigns leading to the elections almost polarized the country into Christian vs Muslims and North vs South divide.

- Most World leaders were worried that our elections will result into major crisis.
Some pundits even from here in the United States said that those elections would spell the end of Nigeria and that we would cease to exist as a nation because of the polls.

- That is where the leadership question comes into play.

- As a leader that was duly elected by the people, I considered the people’s interest first.

- How do I manage my people to avoid killings and destruction of properties?

- With the interest of the people propelling all the decisions I took, we were able to sail through.

- Indeed, we sailed through because I refused to interfere with the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, 'INEC', having appointed a man I had never met in my life to run it. We sailed through because I maintained and still believe that my personal ambition, interest is not worth the blood of any single Nigerian.

- My philosophy was simple. For elections to be credible, I as a leader, must value the process more than the product of the process. And the citizens must have confidence in the electoral body.

- Pls circulate it for them to know. The deceit is getting too much

My source is me. Dispute that

if you are the same deomelo then you are just being clever by half as you would know for certain what the status of the claim is. That is if you haven't just been defending the governments in Lagos from a point of total complete ignorance.

I Know U Want Buhari Re-elected And For Reason Best Known To You, Bt I Promise U With Or Without Ur Amatuer Properganda, He Will Gather Enough Vote For The South East, Not Because We Like Him, Or He Is Even Good Not To Talk Of Better, Bt Because It Is Time For Us To Become Greedy As Well.
Weather The Economic Burns Or The Country Is In Crisis, Buhari Will Be In Aso Rock 2019, So That We Can Know In A Shorter Period Of Time(4yrs Instead Of 8yrs) If The Conspiracy Is True. I Will Vote For Buhari As I Am Compelled To Do So Weather He Picks An Igbo Deputy Or Not. Or Weather He Appoint Or Solve The Infastructural Decay In The South East Or Not. My Sight Is On 2023. Let Me See What Nigerians Have In Keeping An Igbo Man Away For Aso Rock.

Ratello:
I strongly believe you are ok right? Is it a crime now for someone to feel like contributing to my posts once in a while and how you even come about with your wild guess is ridiculous I wonder what you do for a living, I guess "stalking"? Little wonder you are forming one mumu "I have given out N100,000 cash to Nairalanders" when you know yourself please stop that mad attitude of assuming someone is this or that it is a sign of joblessness. At least pretend you have a job, stop exposing yourself because I know you!

For someone to use soup analogy to butress a point on recurrent maintenance of road, it shows you something about that person.
