But, why is ACN jittery?

Falae, Atiku, Faseun etc all confessed that Tinubu is a betrayer and
that they can't work wth him in the same party.
So, don't they have a right to re-register Awo's party or what?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssss.
with all my household.

He has told his story.
Fortunately, all his witnesses except Yar'Adua are alive.
As a person, I have no reason not to believe him.

Amechi who cannot even account for the billions accruing to Rivers state?
He would be the first to be consumed by the revolution.

take dat: Who is Fasheun deceiving? Agreed that the contract has not been awarded to him yet but government is on the verge of doing that. Afenifere was the first to raise alarm over GEJ's desperate attempt to bribe OPC militants, and for all we know, Afenifere is not a political party but a Pan Yoruba group!

Maybe you are talking about the Tinubu faction
of Afenifere - What is that their name again? Afenifere Renewal or so.
We know them as an arm of ACN.

ACN/APC have bought over media houses to propagate lies. That Liar Muhammed
will be dancing all over raising false alarm.

No wonder Liar Muhammed is making every effort
to smear Dr Fasehun.

Why is ACN jittery? Why will they take to lying about
Dr Fasehun securing a multi-billion naira contract?

There is more deceit in so-called APC than the PDP. Buying over
newspaper houses to carry false propaganda is not the end game.
No matter how the press collaborate with opposition to lie to us,
one day, the truth shall surely prevail.

Lest I forget, between Tinubu and Dr Fasehun,
I would prefer to be a follower of Dr Fasehun any day.
Only crooks queue behind Tinubu.

In all honesty, Nigerian roads are taking shape.
Thanks to GEJ and his team, but there should not relent

Tinubu has lots of intergrity issues. Only crooks associate with him.
He is a liability to the merger and one reason credible people will
stay away from the new party.

Olu Falae just said a similar thing to what Atiku has said

Falae is a clean man and not in
the category of Tinubu at all!

egift: Here is my observation on this thread:

Nigerians are asking what happen to over 60billion in SURE-P money spent already.

Jona and his boys are telling us how they added the money to projects that have been budgeted or paid for.

You are so daft and this is getting irritating.
Different contributors have made great effort to try to educate you
but how you keep spewing ignorance here just baffles me.

Why are you so blockheaded? Who budgeted or paid for the projects? We are telling you that if ordinarilly a project is to take say 10 yrs to complete, the total payment too is also broken down and split such that each of the ten years budget captures a fraction of the total cost of the project. For instance, if the second niger bridge is to be awarded for say 120 billion naira, government is not going to pay all this sum upfront neither will it capture all of it in a single year's budget. If it does that it will mean government will be spending the entire year constructing only the niger bridge since the entire capital vote of ministry of works is just about 120 billion naira. Why are you so dull to grapse a simple thing despite several attempts to get you understand? Chai!!your primary and secondary school teachers don suffer!

egift: Bro while will not like to get involved with this lousy argument, I will you to note the following:
- Nigeria as a Nation has its annual budgets that carter for all these projects.
- It is wrong for Jonathan and his team to make it sound as if all what is done is as a result of the money saved from the fuel subsidy that is sustaining and executing all that is going on.

The sensible thing to do is tell Nigerians that x-naira was saved and the number of x-projects was done with it.

Keep calling people names for stating the obvious.

The annual budget you talked about does not "carter for all these projects" my friend. The capital vote of about 120 billion for ministry of works in the 2013 budget cannot fix all the federal roads and bridges in the 36 states and Abuja. Infact, Abuja alone require more than that amount to keep it's roads and bridges in top shape. What government does therefore, is to spread these amount thinly across as many federal roads as possible. That is why execution of some projects take many many years to complete. For example, the Benin - Ore road is taking upto 8yrs now to complete. SURE-P is meant to provide additional funding to speed up execution of these projects so that a project that ordinarily could take upto 10 yrs to complete with our normal budgeting system could be shortened to maybe 6 or 7 yrs. Benin - Ore road is nearing completion now as a result of these additional funding it is receiving from SURE-P.

ewet: You must be a clown.Were monies not allocated for those in the previous budgets and are you cartegorically telling me we couldnt hav railways or the supposed eastwest rd without SURE P?i dnt thnk so.please tell me you are alibaba b4 i start thinking u r trying to outdo GEJ in the act of cluelessness.YOU shuld get the GEJ award for the dumbest ass ever.

I'm wondering who is the "dumbo" here between you and awodman who displayed
intelligence by educating you on what you obviously do not know. You sound like
an ACN tout and do not even deserve a reply and to think that one person has "liked"
your agbo-jeddi post only tells the kind of people we are having around.

awodman: Sure-p does not INITIATE projects but provides ADDITIONAL FUNDING for on-going projects as designed by the various ministries and parastatals..also sure-p is into providing jobs through the Community services scheme and graduate internship(this allows graduate τ̅☺ work with interested companies,after which they have an oppurtunity τ̅☺ be retained)
That said Sure-p provided additional funding ƒσя the completion of the Lagos-kano rail line,also its providing funding ƒσя the maidugiri-enugu-portharcoourt rail line,abuja-kaduna standard guage line,loko-oweto bridge,additional funding ƒσя the east-west road...those aя̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ the ones I can remeber ƒσя now

You exactly explained what the SURE-P thing is all about but haters
will ignore your post and still be asking dumb questions.

I Am Not Leaving PDP – Kwara Governor

The Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed has denied a report published in a national newspaper that he plans to leave the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) along with seven other governors ahead of the 2015 elections.

Speaking through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Muyideen Akorede, Governor Ahmed said there was no iota of truth in the report and dismissed the publication as the handiwork of mischief-makers bent on causing disaffection in the PDP.

“Governor Ahmed has no intention of leaving the PDP now or in the future. I wish to state with all emphasis at my disposal that the report is untrue and could only have been orchestrated by mischief makers. Governor Ahmed remains a loyal and committed member of the PDP and sees the current realignments in the party as normal in any political association. It is his belief PDP is certain to come out stronger,” Mr Akorede said in a statement issued in Ilorin on Sunday evening.

Speaking further, Mr Akorede pointed to Governor Ahmed’s appearance on Channels Television’s Question Time on Sunday Morning, during which he reaffirmed his loyalty to the PDP and his firm belief that the current disagreements in the party are temporary, as further evidence of the Governor’s strong commitment to the party on whose platform he was voted into office.

“At any rate, Governor Ahmed believes that it is more fruitful to focus on delivering good governance and improving public confidence in our democracy rather than speculating on the 2015 elections which are still two years away.”

Benin - Ore road

The Nigerian Press are nothing but bloody liars.
So many lies are being peddled by our media all in
a ploy to run the government down.

I was shocked to my bones when I saw headlines that Bill Gate
cancelled his vist to Nigeria because of the pardon granted Alamiesegha.
My elder brother who works for Gates foundation in Nigeria was so
surprise about the mischief of our media. Bill Gate's rescheduled
visit had nothing to do with Alam's pardon. My brother told us that Gates foundation
did not want to dabble into local politics and chose to reject
presidency's plea to put up a press statement to clear the air.

Let Akpabio be. ACN and the Press conspiracy against him won't work.
He is the best governor in Nigeria and has performed far better than all
your crap ACN governors.

Funny how the press has turned
to an opposition party.

Even nairaland too. Imagine how an obviously mischievious
article immediately fly to the homepage.

Misleading title. Keep lying more and more and keep blaming the PDP.
Where in the entire article did the lawyer
confess that PDP sent him?

Besides, what is the big deal even if PDP sent him?
Wouldn't the merger parties do worse if presented with the same
opportunity as the PDP? Bunch of confussed and rejected fellows.

Diya others Got Clemency not Pardon from Abdulsalami

An online new site today generated controversy by saying that the duo of Lt. Gen. Oladipo Diya and Major Gen. Andulkareem Adisa had already gotten a pardon from General Abdulsalami making the pardon granted them by the National Council of State a factual error, but NaijaPundit's investigations has shown that what they got from Abdulsalami was a clemency not a pardon.

A clemency is legally different from a pardon and frees a convicted person from prison sentence or prevent an accused from going to jail. A pardon on the other hand is a full and total clearance from any conviction and treats the conviction as though it never happened. You give clemency to a person who is serving or about to serve his sentence. You give pardons to anybody.

General Abdulsalami it would be recalled gave a clemency to Diya and his co-accused to enable his government free them after the death of Abacha. If you look at the decree he signed it specifically says 'clemency' and not pardon.

The difference in the meanings and implications if clemency and pardon is cleared up by the dictionary as follows;

clem·en·cy:
a : disposition to be merciful and especially to moderate the severity of punishment due
b : an act or instance of leniency

par·don:
: the excusing of an offense without exacting a penalty
or
a : a release from the legal penalties of an offense
b : an official warrant of remission of penalty

Mods, this qualifies for homepage.
Grant amnesty to Boko Haram and watch OPC, MASSOB etc start their own agitation.

Good development.
We need to see Nollywood grow from strenght to strenght.
The industry has capacity to employ many more youths than both banking and telecom combined.

13 people lost their lives in three separate
bomb attacks as a result of that political jamboree.

The visit was mere political so that ACN can come to say what they have just said now.
But which is better?
1) Losing 13 lives to bomb attacks as a result of the meeting and
2) Saving those lives by holding the meeting elsewhere

ACN are wicked souls playing politics with everything.
Will Lai Muhammed be saying the same thing if one of those killed as a
result of that meeting was his child or wife?

Obj was so on point in his assessment of Okorocha.
He's been a very huge dissappointment to the people
of Imo state.

Goddex: The same Fashola was in Abuja crying to everybody how
Finance Ministry has denied him $600m loan.

The credit for this rating should go to Okonjo Iweala
for prudent management of the country's loan portfolio.

You see the hypocricy we talk about on nairaland.
A thread like this one will hurriedly make the homepage
while Okonjo-Iweala's factual reply to Ezekwezile's allegation of a depleting external reserve keep crawling in the politics zone.

However, Nigeria's economy in it's entirety is wearing a possitive outlook.
Inflation rate has dropped to a single digit 9%. Some of us realised quite early that Liar
Muhammed raising alarm about a collapsing Nigeria's economy was the usual deceptive gibberish
opposition feed gullible Nigerians with. The managers of Nigeria's economy are doing a great job
beginning from GEJ, Okonjo Iweala, Sanusi, Aganga etc

Lest I forget, Kudos to Fashola too in his capacity as the governor of Nigeria's economic hub.

Madam, keep doing the good work.
We admire you.

@Poster, post us the table she talked about

No vacancy in ASO Rock
GEJ all the way. . . .

blink182: my dear, when analysing these sort of things, you have to be completely objective.

Now if you can, this is what I want you to do.

Get a list of all federal government projects, get price and adjusted price quotations, then get a rough idea of what these projects should cost if a private business was to build them. When you get all these facts, I won't be there when you start weeping.

Nigerians are one and our leaders know this, they fight when they have to and become friends when it is necessary. You should try going to court to see how lawyers defend and oppose like they are going to get themselves killed but the moment they step out of the court, they become friends that they truly are. This is the spirit that should be implemented in politics too.

If you are objective enough, you won't kill yourself or get emotional even slightly.

Bros, overinvoicing did not start today and is likely not to end soon.
All the parties parading themselves as messiahs are overtly corrupt.
There is plenty of corruption going on in ACN controlled states only that
they deliberately block the effort of graft agencies not to expose them.

take dat: It is good to see some serious work going on. I applaud the various state governors and the FG, that even in the face of their theivery, they still have some projects to show! I do not believe we need a good governance tour before Nigerians know their leaders are working, when a government begins to blow its own trumpet, it shows they are lacking in a band!

God pass wuna.
How will Nigeria know the truth if not for the tour.
Most of you ACN guys in Lagos have never travelled beyond South West
and all you know about is the junk Fashola and Tinubu feed you with
about how FG is not doing anything while according to Fashola, he has completed "Mile 12 to Ikorodu,
Yaya Abatan/College Road, Okota Ago Palace Way, Ejigbo Ajao Link Bridge" and all such crappy projects,
which even FCT is doing more?

How on earth do you compare such projects with the about 11 powerplants, 8 brand new teaching
hospitals and 11 brand new universities among others nearing completion. Just three states have been covered.
Let us wait for pictures from across the 36 states and Abuja.

A lot is actually going on around the country.
Unfortunately, the opposition in conivance with the Press
will duel more on disinforming Nigerians.

The more reason ACN is opposed to the tour is so that
nigerians will not know the truth. But as they say,
God pass them.

@Eko-Ile, you are obviously one village juman
fortunate enough to find yourself at Alausa.

Tell me what is very special in white guys paying courtesy calls to the
governor of Lagos State, a place that is perhaps home to their consulates and
businesses in Nigeria? For your information these same guys pay courtesy
calls to all the other governors depending on their interest. Getting carried
away by whites visiting Fashola only exposes your level timidity.

Symphony007: When i was in high school i was taught that one of the features of the civil service was non-partisanship. So why would the chairman of the NPA also chair the board of a political party infact, the ruling political party. What kind of country is this. What is the courts for or the house or senate commitees on civil service. Amazing country!!

My guy, go back to Seconday School again.
A board appointment is a political appointment (not Civil Service)
