Jonathan said it is cabal.
Madam Minister say na cartel.
Both of them no fit mention their names let alone fight them.
Are these cabal or cartel so strong that they can hold the whole country to ransome?Dem no be God now. Person wey God no fit catch, He never create such. Above all, God is watching.

abegeeee no mind sone people when no dey greeee talk truth, which kind cartel strong pass govt, that means the govrt is really a weakling

Sunnybobo3:
First off, GEJ became acting president in February 2010 and was sworn in as president on 5th May 2010.

Was the first paragraph a statement made by Iweala ?

You said she did nothing, we're you the one that brought subsidy payment down from almost 3 trillion naira in 2011 to less than 1 trillion in subsequent years?

my question is why is it that GEJ admin. was the first to budget 3 trillion as subsidy, mention any other admin. in your sefence

Sunnybobo3:
Was the first paragraph a statement made by her and are you not aware that she fought tge cartel and brought down the subsidy payment from more than 2 trillion naira to less than 1 trillion naira?

can you answer this question? which govt before her time played 2 trillion as subsidy, just show me any of the past administration budget showing that, this shows she is fraud simple

tomakint:
Look me in the face and tell me she did nothing.

tell me what she did

Burger01:
This woman is not serious rara.

Btw, that's what we've been shouting. Remove subsidy and let's manage the situation till our refineries are put in place by Nigeria engineers. We have the skills and resources. Fuel subsidy must go and that's the only 'something' Buhari can do about the oil cartel.

Naija must be great o

GEJ promised to build or rather make our refineries working 24 months after the 2012 subsidy crisis but today how many of them are working instead of throwing the people into suffering the govt can borrow money, repair the refineries then can raise money from the refined products to pay back its as easy as that if the govt has the masses at hand

Sunnybobo3:
Where in tge article did she ask Buhari to do something about them and when in the last 4 years and 9 months (not 6 years as ignorant people say) that she's been part of this govt has the fuel situation even this bad?

read the first paragraph, how can she set agenda for someone when she has been in power but did nothing, now why did she not instigate her boss to do the needful to the cartel, for how many years this administration has been saying there is a cabal does it mean there are people stronger than the FG ?? sworn in as a president

buhari must jail this woman even if he disn't jail anyone else, its a shame we are from the same state

This madam is very funny, for six years what did she and her boss do, the persons that were indicted in subsidy fraud how many did they prosecute ?? now the floor is open , let the TANIOD come and defend her

Nigeria’s finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has set an agenda for the Buhari administration: to tame urgently the oil cartel holding the nation to ransom.She spoke in Abuja today to refute the claim by the oil marketers that the nation is owing them another N200.2bn, just after the government paid them N156bn.

She said by government’s computation, the outstanding amount is about N131bn billion.Okonjo-Iweala urged the marketers to be patriotic in their decisions by considering the interest of Nigerians who always bear the brunt of their actions, noting that they should not by their actions hold the country to ransom.The marketers had claimed that the government’s indebtedness to them for oil subsidy was about N354,4bn.

Confirming the figure, the Executive Secretary, Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, Mr.Thomas Olawore, had said, “The government had paid N154.2bn out of N354.4bn and we areleft with a balance of N200.2bn.“What happens to the N200.2bn? That is why we requested that the government invite us sothat we can be told how it intends to liquidate the remaining N200.2bn.

But the minister said this figure could not be correct, noting that the balance that is left based on Petroleum Pricing Products Regulatory Agency’s template is about N131bn.She said, “As you know, we paid N156bn recently, N100bn of the principal payment that we owe them and then we paid N56bn interest rate and some remaining exchange rate differentials.“Prior to that, we have just paid N31bn exchange rate differentials. So at the time we paid that last week, what we had outstanding is N98bn.”According to her, every week, the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency sends data and that is what government only subscribe and certified as what is due to marketers.“As at now, since we made the announcement last week, it has now risen from N98bn to N131bn outstanding in principle payment.“And they are now making a demand of N200bn and I asked them what is the balance for,” she added.

She likened the oil marketers to a small cartel that are into a no risk business based on template negotiated with PPPRA long time agowhich factored in exchange rate differential, and profit margin guarantee.This situation, she said, leaves them with absolutely no risk.She said. “It has become a situation where we have a cartel that can ground the nation to a halt at will. I strongly suggest that the nation has to do something about it.

When are you probing Tinubu OBJ Saraki Atiku etc

baba calm down, why are you an hypocrise when Obama invited GEJ after he was sworn in and removed Nigeria from black list what did you say?? did you call GEJ names??

janus05:
You are right. He squandered his good luck flirting and romancing few northern oligarchs. And they paid him back deservedly. OBJ might be right when he said that GEJ might be the last ijaw man to rule Nigeria.

my brother I am a full south south boy,but this is the very reason I hated GEJ so much, look at Warri port, pH port, calabar port, how about the refineries?? if he put those things in place south south would have been the full heart of the nation not just oil but both port and refineries, do you know how many job opportunity he would have created from that?? instead he was busy doing TAN, SURE-P and lots of other mumu projects, for real I hate the guy he killed the only opportunity south south had, I would have preferred Donald duke or even Ibori to him, for those corruption charges against ibori he was better of as a governor than GEJ

janus05:
Let us start by making real demands. In 2015, it is unacceptable that my 84 years old granny must travel to lagos before she can board a flight out of Nigeria. In 2015, it is unacceptable that the lagos ports is enjoying undue monopolies while the ports in PH, warri, calabar and onitsha(if it will ever be dregded) are lying fallow.

If any of the northern states were as lucky as calabar to border the sea/ocean, the Nigerian govt would have developed it to dwarf lagos ports. Why is the north deliberately strangulating development in the south. Now is the time to break loose.

guy why blame north, GEJ was there for 6 years why didn't he do it south south we are our problem, leave other regions out of,gej failed woefully, I don't wanna still remember all he did not do

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over the weekend commenced lobby for the candidacy of Nigeria’s Minister of Agriculture, Akinwumi Adesina as President of the African Development Bank (AfDB).A statement issued by the Atiku Media Office in Abuja said that Atiku Abubakar’sshuttle diplomacy to shore up the much-needed support for the Nigerian candidate follows a mandate from President-elect Muhammadu Buhari to the former Vice President to leverage on his contacts to lobby for the emergence of Mr. Adesina.President-elect Buhari, who backs the candidacy of Mr. Adesina, had last month conveyed his support to the President of Ghana, John Mahama, whenthe two leaders met in Abuja.According to the statement, Atiku travelled with Mr. Adesina to South Africaover the weekend where the two met withPresident Zuma at the Presidential Residence in Durban.“His Excellency former Vice President Atiku Abubakar met President Zuma in the company of Dr Akinwumi Adesina during which the directive of President-elect General Muhammadu Buhari was conveyed to Zuma,” the statement said. “The issue of South Africa and the Southern African region support for Nigeria’s candidate was exhaustively discussed and well appreciated.”

Dominiquez:
I pity anyone that supports this ban, cos Buhari is now fighting FOI law that allowed APC to excel . Banning of APC will be the beginning of the dark days for the media under Buhari's govt.


TVC and Sahara reporters were never banned even when they were broadcasting lies against Jonathan govt.

read your lines, he didn't ban them,he bar them from covering his activities, try and check the difference between bar and ban

AmucheJane:
For me is just better they divide this country, period. Nigeria is to big to be called a nation. Yorubas should support us so that we will leave their land as they have wished. The southerners have been contributing very well to the economy of this country. Hausas and yorubas are somuch afraid to lose us, if not so why have they not supported us to leave this country called Nigeria? By his grace, one day this country will be divided, Amen.

keep quiet, is Nigeria bigger than USA,china India blame foolish GEJ for failing woefully

psucc:
The author of the article might possibly be a novice or live in a foreign land or decided to tell half truth or do not know the workings of the Nigerian system.

How will the legislature probe the executive to the point of pointing accusing fingers at the culprits when themselves are culpable?

How do we expect the executive to perform when the legislature will first demand their quota before passing a ministry's annual budget? When they would demand for their 'transport' when visiting a particular MDA for oversight duties.

When 'unfortunately' those acts got to the public domain, they the NASS will work with a view to killing such issues to keep them holy.

Until we have men that will sacrifice their pleasure for the nation, the 8th Assembly may also have a dent on the garment.

you are correct. I feel GMB should just pass a bill that every looter should return at least 70% of their loots

The seventh National Assembly will mostlikely end its tenure in early June withoutresolving majority of the huge misgovernance and corruption issues that characterised the outgoing administration.Under the present dispensation, the oversight power of the legislature was not judiciously exercised to guarantee Nigerians the dividends for electing their representatives.There were clear cover-ups and lack of political will to bring a lot of the cases to closure.Even when it issues reports on certain important national issues, such as the fuel subsidy scam, the National Assembly lacked the firepower to compelthe execuitve execute its recommendations.As nothing almost always get done after individuals, agencies and corporations are indicted by either the House of Representatives or the Senate, the billions spent yearly on either public hearings and oversight functions have turned out to be mere drains on national resources.Below are just a few of the scandals the National Assembly may not resolve before the end of the 7th Assembly.1. The Maina Pension Scam: There was aprobe into pension funds that affected about 141,790 pensioners. AbdulrasheedMaina, the Chairman of Pension Reform Task Team, was accused of looting N195billion.The Senate set up a committee to investigate the matter. During investigation, Mr. Maina alleged that Aloysius Etuk, representing Akwa Ibom State, demanded $100,000 dollars from him as bribe. A former director of pension in the office of the Head of Service of the Federation, Sani Shuaibu Teidi, who was prosecuted along with 31 others, also alleged that Mr. Etuk and other members of the committee collected a bribe of N3 billion from him. Although the Senate seemed furious about the allegation, it did not take decisive steps to investigate.The National Assembly also did not pushthe executive hard enough to implement its report on the pension scam and punish offenders.2. Kerosene scam: The kerosene scam isconsidered monumental fraud by the average Nigerian. Kerosene, which is supposed to be sold for N50 to consumer, sells for between N100 and N120 per litre. Many years after a presidential directive ended subsidy for kerosine, the NNPC claimed it had continued to subsidise the product.Yet, Nigerians are not benefiting from thesubsidy as the product sells for far above the official price at the pumps. Several billion naira are believed to have been stolen under the guise of kerosine subsidy. The National Assembly made a feeble attempt to get to the root of the matter. But it issued no indictment and did not take concrete steps to resolve thematter. No official of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, and the petroleum ministry have been sanctioned over the matter.3. Police Pension Fund Fraud: Five people, including fa ormer Director of Police Pension Fund, Esai Dangabar, were accused of misusing N32.8billion from the Police Pension Fund. Mr. Dangabar accused some committee members of the Senate of benefiting from the loot. The senate denied the allegation without ordering an investigation. The world may never knowwhether indeed the Senate joint Committee on Establishment and Public Service Matter, and State and Local Government Affairs indeed took bribes from the pension thieves.4. Stella Oduah: Before her removal as Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah was embroiled in a N255 million armoured carscandal. She was accused of abusing her office by compelling an agency under her ministry to buy her expensive cars. The House of Representatives has so far failed to release a detailed report of its investigation into the matter. Although Ms. Oduah was later dropped as minister, other officials involved in thematter remained untouched till date.Recently, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted Media Rights Agenda (MRA) leave to apply for an order to compel the House to furnish it with transcripts of theproceedings of the House Committee on Aviation at the hearing of the Committee on the procurement of the two bulletproof BMW cars by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) through Messrs Coscharis Motors Limited.5. Missing N20billion Naira oil money: In 2013, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi, alleged that the NNPC failed to remit billions of naira in oil proceeds to the state. This caused a huge rift between the CBN governor and President Goodluck Jonathan, leading to the president suspending Mr. Sanusi from office.The National Assembly investigated the matter but was unable to bring it to closure.6. $15million private jet/arms scandal: A private jet conveyed $15million in cash to Johannesburg for a purported arms deal between Nigeria and a South Africanfirm. That deal seriously embarrassed Nigeria, but the National Assembly failed to investigate. Attempts by lawmakers of the All Progressives Congress to table the matter at the House of Representatives were frustrated by their Peoples Democratic Party’s counterparts.7. Abba Morro Immigration Scandal: Despite the death of over 15 individuals who went to write entrance examinationsinto the Nigerian Immigration Service on March 13, 2015, the Minister of Interior, Abba Morro, has remained in office. Before the entrance test, candidates were made to pay N1,000 for application forms. A private company, Drexel Nig Ltd,was also implicated in the recruitment scam.Although federal lawmakers commencedinvestigation into the incident, nothing has been heard of the matter ever since. Nigerians suspect cover-up, especially because the minister involved, Mr. Morro, is a core loyalist of David Mark, the President of the Senate, who doublesas the Chairman of the National Assembly.8. Malabu Oil Scandal: This was one of the biggest oil scandals that did not receive the kind of attention it deserves. It involves a former Petroleum minister, Dan Etete, who was convicted in France for money laundering.His illegal company, Malabu Oil, receivedan illegal $1.1million from the Nigerian government as proceeds for the sale of an oil block. Upon receipt, the money was immediately disbursed to certain individuals.The National Assembly is yet to bring this matter, which involves officials of the presidency, ministers and business people, to closure. There appears to be attempts to cover up the matter.9. Ekiti Gate: A leaked tape of the alleged electoral malpractices during the gubernatorial election in Ekiti State caused a major stir in the country. Four principal characters were heard discussing how to manipulate the election. The voices were those of former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro; the Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan; former Deputy governor of Osun state, Iyiola Omisore, and the eventual winner of the election and current governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose. Despite the huge evidence in thepublic domain, the Presidency said it would not investigate the matter.The National Assembly has failed to investigate the matter, which is clearly a major assault on our democracy. Mr. Obanikoro indeed went ahead to receive a National Assembly approval for ministerial appointment.10. Farouk Lawan: House of Representatives member, Farouk Lawan, was caught on tape collecting $620,000 out of a $3million bribe while his committee investigated the fuel subsidy scam. He was seen collecting the money from oil mogul, Femi Otedola.The House of Representative referred thebribery allegation to its committee on ethics. But no report has been issued till date.

Incumbent governor of Imo state, RochasOkorocha, has emerged winner of Saturday’s supplementary governorship election in the state.Mr. Okorocha, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) won in 20 out of the 23 Local Government areas in the state where the supplementary election was held, polling a total of 31,326 votes.His closest challenger, Emeka Ihedioha, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) garnered 13,624 votes.The outcome of Saturday’s election effectively truncated Mr Ihedioha’s of overtaking the governor and winning the election. The PDP candidate trailed Mr. Okorocha with 79,525 votes in the substantive election a forth night ago.The result of the election was declared inconclusive by the Returning Officer, Oyewusi Ibidapo-Obe, two weeks ago because the margin of victory between the top two contenders – the APC and the PDP – was less than the number of registered voters in areas where elections did not hold or was cancelled due to irregularities, thus necessitating a supplementary election, as required by the electoral law.Announcing the total result (substantive and supplementary) polled by the candidates in the early hours of Sunday, Mr. Obe declared Mr. Okorocha winner, having polled the highest number of votes and having satisfied the requirement of the law.Mr Okorocha polled a total of 416,996 votesout of the total 806,764 votes cast in the election.Coming a second was Mr. Ihedioha with 320,705 and Emmanuel Ihenacho of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in distant third with 28,434 votes.The supporters of Mr Okorocha at the office of the Independent National ElectoralCommission (INEC) bust into a Christian song of praise titled “My helper” immediately he was announced winner.“We want to assure the Imolites that their votes count and the expression of their gratitude in the works of His Excellency Owelle Rochas Okorocha has been clearly registered through their votes,” said Alfred Anunugba, the APC agent.“I’m optimistic that we are yet to see the best of Owelle Okorocha at work. So the Imolites are in for something greater, something more reassuring and somethingenduring,” Mr Anunugba added.PDP’s Ikpeazu wins in AbiaThe candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Okezie Ikpeazu, has been declared winner of the governorship election in Abia.The INEC returning officer in the state, Prof.Ozumba, while announcing the result at about 4:54am Sunday, in Umuahia, said Mr.Ikpeazu polled a total of 264,713 votes to beat his closest challenger Alex Otti of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, who garnered 180, 882 votes.Mr. Otti is a former Managing Director of Diamond Bank.

It sounds Right, The Organization is still In it's Grass roots phase, Most members of The group currently are illiterates and Uneducated, and most of our members can not even read or write, because most of them were denied the privileges of going to school, because the Federal and state Governments have failed The Niger Deltans for far too long, in sectors like, Education, Health, Security etc. And as we are gradually seeing a change in The horizon, our people in the Region are requesting to be involved in the affairs of running this country. We appeal to the Incoming Government of Buhari, to help us in sectors like Education, Health and Security in the Niger Delta Region, and we are using this medium to plead with The federal Government not to Scrap the Amnesty Programs, we call on The Government To hear the Cries of Former Niger Delta freedom fighters.

APC are too unpredictable, SILVA that one got me thinking who will be among the ministers

Please this man stop saying all this shit, he knew all this and 2015 budget had over 90% as recurrent, this guy is the President I hate most because he knows what is right but refused to do them, shame on this guy

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has disregarded media speculations concerning the nomination of ministers and advised Nigerians to do the same.The party has urged Nigerians to disregard the wild speculations making the rounds concerning the appointment of ministers and the zoning of offices under the incoming Buhari government.The APC released a statement by Lai Mohammed, its National Publicity Secretary, in which the party stated there is no truth to anything that has been dished out anywhere, concerning the issues of appointment, especially the zoning of the National Assembly’s principal positions and other offices.The party said that in the true tradition of the APC, all issues of public interest will be handled transparently and conveyed to Nigerians through the usual communication channels.The statement read in part:“No appointments have been made and no offices have been zoned. The main concern of our party at the moment is to ensure a smooth transition and to hit the ground running, in the overall interest of the long-suffering people of Nigeria.”At the appropriate time, Nigerians will be informed of the appointments made and the offices zoned.”There were speculations that former president Olusegun Obasanjo proposed former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo for the Ministry of Finance in the Buhari administration.Meanwhile, the former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, is believed to be strongly against Obasanjo’s recommendation.

The senate leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, is set to defect to the All Progressives Congress.
A source close to the senator disclosed this to PREMIUM TIMES.

The source said the senate leader was only counting days to his defection.

In what may look like a prelude to the much expected defection, supporters of the senate leader, Thursday, invaded the APC state headquarters along Barracks Road​ in Calabar​ to announce their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party.
The defectors, led by the Campaign Director of the Senate leader, Ernest Irek, and immediate past Chairman of Obubra LGA, Chris Obasse, included former councillors and other top public office holders.

They said, tired of oppressive leadership, their mission was to join hands with the APC to form a formidable force against the PDP.

When contacted the senate leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, said, he was not ready to go into details.
“Anybody or people are free to crosscarpet to any party he/she may feel okay with,” he said. “It’s their right.”

PDP in the state has been struggling with internal rancour since the last primaries, leading to the defection of prominent party faithful.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has denied having any hand in the crumbling of the PDP, as alleged by the party’s National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh, while offering him, (Metuh) a free, six-week crash course on his new role as the opposition spokesman.Reacting to the allegation by Mr. Metuh that the APC has been working to destabilize the PDP, the party said in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, in Abuja on Friday, that during the training, Mr. Metuh will be given free lessons by his APC counterpart, in the spirit of cooperation and for the advancement of the nation’s democracy.”Metuh will need the training to effectively carry out his new, tough task. It is now obvious that he needs to understand that for him to succeed in hisnew role, he must be credible, empirical, more sophisticated in language use and very passionate, in addition to being ableto operate on a lean or zero budget,” it said.APC said it is ludicrous, to say the least, for anyone to suggest that the APC is seeking to destabilize the PDP, when the erstwhile ruling party has done such a great job of crumbling under its own weight, having gorged on the commonwealth.”Really, it beggars belief to say that the APC is seeking to lure away members of the PDP’s NEC with ‘phantom promises and threats’, with a view to destabilizing the party, when everyone knows the rate at which PDP stalwarts have been rushing to jump off the sinking ship called the PDP before it finally tips over.”Our National Chairman and our President-elect have even spoken out publicly on this issue, encouraging the eager PDP defectors to stay back in their party so they can provide a formidable opposition to the new ruling party. How then can anyone accuse the APC of either luring away PDP members or seeking to destabilize a party that has done itself in?” the party queried.It advised Mr. Metuh to take a little time off so he can engage in some introspection, against the backdrop of the total repudiation by Nigerians of the brand of politics that his party, the PDP, played in its days as the ruling party.”There is no doubt that Metuh is in a hurry to do his work as an opposition spokesman. He should not worry. He should save his energy, because he would need it, in addition to the crash course which has been offered to him freely, if he is to function effectively in his new role. Having been in opposition for so long, we can tell Metuh that it is not a cakewalk.”Lies by themselves never travel far enough for the truth not to catch up with them, as the PDP must have now realizedwhen its strategy of muckraking, distortion of facts and blatant falsehood – under the guise of electioneering campaign – failed to turn the tide in its favour during the last elections. But it seems the lead actors in that failed strategy, Metuh included, have not yet learnt their lessons, hence they have continued to engage in their despicable pastime.”The APC has no time to waste on luring away members of the PDP. We have our hands full as we seek to clear the mess that the PDP has made of Nigeria and thestate of hopelessness to which its 16-year rule has plunged the citizens. Because Nigerians wanted change, they voted for our party. How then can the party of change allow itself to become populated by the same folks whom Nigerians have rejected?” APC said.
