kelvincoll: Oshiomole you too talk ooh.... Nice one though, but nothing stops you from partnering with the Tour Team in showcasing your works to Nigerian out Edo and in Diaspora.

I do not need them to come to tell Edo people how I built roads and schools. My achievement speaks for me.

feelamong: When the so called good governance team came to Abia state, they passed a verdict that the clown in power there is doing a marvelous work!

The midget called Labaran looked at Abia people oand said he was impressed with the level of work done in that state.

Is that what the tour is all about? A band of clowns go on a circus and then end up by telling people that their folly has been worth the while! Tufia!!

lateef4me: When is this debate gonna start again nowwww ?

Sincere 9gerian: I like governor Oshiomole alot and he's definitely one very popular governor. However, he should watch it because he's beginning to exhibit arrogance and dictatorial tendencies.

I understand the national good governance tour is a programme of collaboration between the FG and 36 state govts (and FCT). I'm surprised the comrade governor now tagged the national good governance tour a "federal govt programme"

After watching some of the live telecast of the national good governance tour in some states, I concluded that we need more of such programmes. On every occasion that I watched the live telecast of the citizens forum, UNDILUTED questions were asked by citizens resident in any part of the world. And the governors and minister of information labour to provide answers to all the questions.

No matter how the comrade governor has performed, there are always issues and problems (some of which the governor may not be aware of) that may require further clarification.

Moreover, democracy is not a one man show. There should be continuous conversation between the leaders and followers. Avenues for such conversation can never be surplus. The good governance tour is one of such avenues for conversation between the leaders and the people.

If the governor can sponsor the camping of national football teams in Edo (which he has done in the past), he should be able to provide counterpart funds to support the 3days visit of the national good governance tour team to Edo state.

I won’t use state resources to finance Good Governance tour – Oshiomhole

BENIN — GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has said that he was not prepared to spend the state’s limited resources to finance the Federal Government’s Good Governance tour, led by Minister of Information and Orientation, Mr. Labaran Maku.

Oshiomhole, at a seminar on Tax Laws in the state, organised by Edo State Board of Internal Revenue, in Benin, explained that he had opposed the proposal for state governments to sponsor the team, when the matter came up at the Governor’s  Forum.

He said that the Good Governance team had sent in a proposal, imploring him to provide accommodation, feeding and logistics for over 120 delegates, when they visit the state next week.

Oshiomhole, who lamented what he called the bogus proposal from the team, said: “Whenever Edo State government officials travel to Abuja for official duties, the state takes responsibility and not the Federal Government.

“So, it is not proper to use Edo State tax payers’ money to finance a Federal Government programme. If they pay me a courtesy visit, I will receive them, but I don’t have a dime to spend on them because I do not need them to come to tell Edo people how I built roads and schools. My achievement speaks for me.”

oily_ngbati: king of f@g, please can you say amen to this too: after I become yerubo leader, your mother and sister will become my s.e.xual slave...2000000 fold

oily_ngbati: After 2015, Fashola will be tried and convicted of treason and corruption. After serving his term, he will join the long line of yerobu leaders who are all ex-convicts and become their leader 'cos these creatures called yerobos are in love with ex-cons as leaders. Awalawo, abiola, uglysanjo (obj) et.al comes to mind. I'm also going to become a criminal, get convicted and become a yerobeu leader .

oily_ngbati: Don't worry, I will become an ex-convict soon.....you know what that means. I will become a yerobe leader and your mother will be my se.x.ual slave. I will have you and one of your dirty batty brother run a train on her ( you know what a train is? ) Goatish bbasterd.

According to the Chairman/CEO, they, as a private sector concern, would source the funds while government would enforce the project.
