The Peoples Democratic Party has advised Osun State
Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, to sell the helicopter
purchased for security surveillance and stop “wasteful
spending” in order to raise money to pay salaries of workers
in the state.
The Director of Media and Strategy of the PDP in Osun State,
Mr. Diran Odeyemi, gave this advice in a statement made
available to our correspondent in Osoogbo on Sunday.
The statement read, “The PDP is urging the government to
sell the helicopter Governor Aregbesola said was procured
for the state and he should stop frivolous trips to Cuba.
“What this administration told us was that the helicopter was
to be used for surveillance, but we have since discovered that
the machine is only serving the traveling needs of Mr.
Aregbesola and his family. This remains one draining pipe
that must be blocked.
“The governor and his aides should also forthwith stop
traveling in chartered aircraft around the world. If President
Muhammadu Buhari could be traveling on British Airways,
even when aircrafts in Presidential fleet are available, there is
need for Governor Aregbesola to borrow a leaf.”
The opposition party also accused the governor of wasting
the the state’s resources on politics and arming of a group of
youth he called “State Boys.”
The PDP called on the new members of the Osun State House
of Assembly not to turn themselves to rubber stamp of the
executive arm of the government.
According to the party, the people of the state now place their
hope on the lawmakers to check the ‘excesses of the
governor’ in the interest of the masses.
The statement read further, “It is also fresh in our minds, the
huge amount Ogbeni Aregbesola expended on the last Ekiti
governorship poll, Lagos governorship poll, and the
Presidential project of the All Progressive Congress, APC.
“Also, a group of miscreants called ‘State Boys’ are being
illegal armed and financed by government to unleash terror
on many indigenes of the state by the ruling party.
“All these actions and many other wasteful spending led us to
where we are now, which if they could be reversed, could
bring financial reserves for the state.
“But if Ogbeni Aregbesola will not treat this advise with
disdain, and henceforth, begin to act as governor of all, we
believe at least, he will be able to pay few months of the
backlog of salaries owed workers and retirees.”
However, the governor described the suggestions and
allegations from the opposition party as infantile.
Speaking through a statement issued by his media aide, Mr.
Semiu Okanlawon, Aregbesola said the PDP was just seeking
cheap publicity with their suggestions and spurious
allegations.
The statement read, “It is disheartening this is how
degenerate PDP has become in their thinking process. They
screamed ignorantly about two years ago that Osun procured
a helicopter with a sum of N8 billion. We had asked them to
find out the cost of a Boeing plane let alone a helicopter
which was only leased and it was to beef up the Osun Swift
Action Squad for its aerial surveilance. This was clear to all in
the state that the helicopter was procured as part of the Rauf
Aregbesola administration’s comprehensive security
measures to drive criminals far away from the state.
“For the PDP in its narrow thinking to tell us to sell the
helicopter is a sign of intellectual laziness. The allegations
that Aregbesola uses the helicopter for his personal use lack
any evidence.
“It is obvious the PDP, after it has reached its final bus stop of
defeat rigmarole, as typified by the Supreme Court decision
of May 27, is merely looking for something to keep it relevant.
“The people of Osun need adequate security which PDP failed
to provide throughout Nigeria in its 16 years of misrule. The
People of Osun require good governance which the PDP
could not give them. I therefore advise that shameful lies
such as those Odeyemi cooked up again and threw to the
media would not help the party. They would help sink it
deeper.”

That is how the business is done in Nigeria, I don't think the guy overstepped his bound by wanting to go with him to buy the engine?

I understand we can't blame Gazzuzz for not wanting to do business with hoodboy, (it's his choice), but stop making it feel like hoodboy committed one big sacrilege by offering to go and buy the engine with him... There is nothing wrong with that...

Gazzuzz bluntly told me I should go back with my vehicle, just because I

From my point of view,he might had use that to draw pple to himself b4 he detonated d bomb.

Following the clash between the police and the Movement for
the Actualisation of the Sovereign States of Biafra a few days
ago, the Imo State Police Command has arrested of 68
members of MASSOB involved with the showdown with the
police.
Briefing newsmen in Owerri, the state capital on Monday, the
state Commissioner of Police, Austin Evbakavbokun
confirmed that 68 members of the Igbo pressure group, were
arrested, 62 he said have already been charged to court for
alleged conspiracy, breach of peace of the state and
unlawfully belonging to society.
The CP noted that the suspects were arrested for storming the
state with insignias, which were not of Nigeria and above all,
conducting themselves in a disorderly manner without a
permit from the state police.
He also added that the members were chanting war songs,
barricaded the roads, thereby obstructing free flow of traffic
before his men moved in to disperse them.
Evbakavbokun, who frowned on the continual struggle of the
MASSOB members, noted that those who had persisted in the
struggle never knew how the Biafra war was fought and won,
adding that no nation would want to go through that
experience again.
“Those who came out that day, I am sure, never knew how
the Biafra war was fought and won. We have one nation. How
can two flags be in one nation? What they are doing is
subversive and the security can not close their eyes; we have
to guard our nation. Gone are the days when this kind of
things happens,” Evbakavbokun said.
Items recovered from the arrested members, as listed by the
CP, included Biafra uniforms, Biafra ID cards, Biafra flags and
some buses.

The Deputy Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in
Lagos State, Cardinal James Odunmbaku, says the new
Governor of the state, Akinwunmi Ambode, will surpass his
predecessor in terms of achievement.
Odunmbaku, who spoke in Lagos on Sunday, added that the
APC was a progressive party, which was given to exceptional
performance.
He said, “The outstanding performance of the APC’s elected
officers across the country encouraged Nigerians to vote for
change at the federal level and retain the party in Lagos State.
Ambode will do more to justify the confidence reposed in him
by Lagosians.”
Odunmbaku, who was the Chairman of the APC/Ambode
Campaign Committee, also urged the new governor to deliver
dividends of democracy to residents of the state.
He said although the administration of the immediate past
Governor of the state, Babatunde Fashola, recorded landslide
achievements, Ambode must do more.
He lauded Fashola for giving an excellent account of himself
while in office, wishing him well in his future endeavours.
He added that Ambode’s administration would start from
where Fashola’s government stopped.
Odunmbaku said, “During the swearing-in of the governor,
Ambode promised to key into the 2012 – 2025 Development
Programme put in place by the Fashola’s administration.
“That is the essence of continuity and that is why I believe
Ambode will surpass Fashola’s achievements.
“He was part of Fashola’s government and he was one of
those who drew out the development plan. So, he is not a
stranger in the government of Lagos State.”

I wouldn't have had any problem if the Media Aide of Buhari didn't LIE that Buhari has "fulfilled" his pledge by declaring with CCB..

"By declaring their assets, the statement said that President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo may have not only fulfilled the requirements of the Nigerian Constitution, but also fulfilled the first of their many campaign promises."----Alh Shehu Garba, Media Aide to Buhari

Hmmm.
