After all the NOISE in the media about getting the refineries to work in full capacity earlier than the 2016 target set by the last administration, reality has dawned on them. Some of us knew all the while that the repairs of the refineries will continue into 2016 and even beyond.
But besides all the noise about fixing existing refineries, which of course was started by the GEJ govt, what is the current govt's policy in the oil sector? I think that should have been a priority for this govt and should have been one of it's achievements in the last 100 days. But of course, that was not the case as the last 100 days was wasted

[/s] bla .....bla.....bla....bla.....cries of a wailer. How many dates did GEJ's government give to Nigerians? 2016 was the latest campaign date....
Should Jonathan have won....there will be another date. Jonathan started this and that....Nna bros for 6 good years.. he was only starting and starting. . What was Jonathans policy in theboil sector other than to loot and loot with bogus fake subsidy claims. Donu know how much this government have saved? This is ur brother talking here ooo. Abi u guys have disowned him cos Buhari gave him appointment? Oboi....u will wail till 2019 and beyond....its time u accept this government like people from the south south. Inwknder why thr SE os wailing even more than the SS.

Spoken like a true ediott.

Thats what you are bro...

Obiagelli how come u have time for perpetual and unrepentant wailers. This clowns never accept. Jonathan was there for 6 solid years.....and they keep giving silly and annoying excuses. Why didnt everything work all those years...except they want to tell us it was a deliberate act of dragging to steal and steal.

If a bomb goes of in Borno or Adama today, they blame Buhari....but when good things happpen it was Jonathan. Very useless and deceitful elements......

Anoying thing I dont understand why most of this wailers are igbos wailing even more than people from.the south south. I am yet to come to.terms with that.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
You are more than this.

You mean the present GMD knows anything about the turnaround maintenance?

Did you hear him say they used local spears and modules for the maintenance?

You think the period for test running the system is same as time for taken for the corrective maintenance?

You should stop being gullible, this administration has no input on the turnaround maintenance of our refineries which President Buhari has already confirmed and said it is unwise to ascribe the achievement to his government for what he has no input.

You people are very pathethic. All this could have worked under Jonathans watch for 6 good years..but all we hear were stories upon stories. The latest was that 2016 refineries will start working....this was after several dates. Now things are turning around, you wailinv clowns keep shouting it was Jonathan, but when a bomb goes off in Borno....Buhari is the president. Its time you lots wake up like we from the south south. ...even the die hard Jonathan supporters from the south south have realised Jonathan was nothing but a disaster. I wonder why u guys wail even more than we from the south south...its just so pathetic

Route march

God bless the Nigerian Army

Ahuuuha!!!!

What I am yet to understand is why the igbos are het to come in terms with Jonathans's loss when we from the south south have long moved on....

Why are they remaining perpetual and unrepentant wailers?

2ruink:
Yorubas are always 2nd class

Na which class u dey ? U wey never see anything. Wailing continues. ..

Wailers,
Enough of the wailing and the twisting of articles just to underrate this administration.
In the heat of any campaign many "groups of interests" spring up all manner of things to show alliance and solidarity to which ever party they support. It is unreasonable to assume that the President is aware of every thing anyone publishes on behalf of the campaign team.
Same way Jonathan claimed ingnorance of the #bringbackjonathan2015 slogan and bill boards but not until after public condemnation from both Nigerians and the International community. The same scenerio applies to the 1 meal per kid bill board ehich u guys are still wailing about.

Its time to suspend the wailing and support this Government because if this government fails ordinary citizens like you are the biggest loosers. JONATHAN LOST AND HAS MOVED ON!!!!!

The draft of “My 100 Days Covenant with Nigerians” accidentally went viral in January before the policy and research directorate of the APC presidential campaign organisation had discussed it, TheCable can report.

However, TheCable can also report that while it is true that Candidate Muhammadu Buhari did not see or approve of the “100 Days” document, campaign insiders insist that he saw the second document, “My Covenant with Nigerians”, contrary to claims by his media office.

The first document puts timelines to promises to be fulfilled within Buhari’s first 100 days in office, but the second document contains only milestones without specific dates.

It would appear Buhari’s grouse is with the one that has timelines, but his media team has denied both documents.

A member of the policy support group — a body of intellectuals sympathetic to Buhari’s cause — had originated the idea of condensing all the campaign promises into an easily readable and digestible document. The volunteer, a political scientist who holds a PhD and once lectured at Canadian and American universities, developed the outline of the document, spicing it with his own ideas of how the APC presidential candidate could align with the hopes and aspirations of Nigerians and appeal to the electorate.

The man behind the idea, who is well known in the Nigerian civil society circles, was one of the several intellectuals who worked day and night behind the scene to promote the candidature of Buhari. Having sketched the outline of the document, he sent electronic copies to members of the APC policy and research directorate for further discussion, inputs and adoption — ahead of a final presentation to Buhari for approval.

GONE VIRAL

TheCable understands, however, that a member of the directorate, a medical doctor and politician from the south-west, sent the document to his friends who then published it on the internet before it had even been discussed or approved. All efforts to recall the document failed as it had gone viral, with thousands of

Buhari’s supporters instantly sharing it on Facebook, blogs and Twitter. The following day, traditional newspapers picked it up and gave it wider publicity — but there was no rebuttal from the campaign organisation as the document became an instant hit. It was believed to have won a lot of supporters and admirers for Buhari, especially on the aspect of publishing his assets and encouraging all would-be appointees to follow suit.

His opponent, President Goodluck Jonathan, had refused to make his assets public, famously saying in a TV interview that he did not give a “damn” about the criticisms against his stand.

Thereafter, the APC policy directorate, headed by Kayode Fayemi, former governor of Ekiti state, developed a different document, “My Covenant with Nigerians”, which it passed on to Buhari for approval.

“The second document prepared by the committee aligned more with the party manifesto but there was no timeline attached to it. It was well received by Buhari who read through it and made comments and corrections,” a member of the campaign team told TheCable.

The document was then produced in pamphlets and distributed at the venues of the town hall meetings held by Buhari across the country — and there was no objection from the candidate or members of the party hierarchy and the campaign organisation.

NOT MY WILL

Femi Adesina, the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, was the first to hint that Buhari was not on the same page with his party on the documents.

“You need to get his words right, go and check all that the president said during the campaign, in no place would you see it attributed to him as a person [as promising to publish his assets],” Adesina said in a recent interview, sparking off debate in the media. “But then there is a document by his party, the All Progressives Congress, saying he would declare publicly, so we need to set that right, it’s a declaration by his party.” Garba Shehu, senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, has now denied outright that Buhari saw either of the documents, blaming it on “too many communication centres” during the campaign, some of which he said were “on the loose”. “As the director, media and communications of that campaign, I was responsible for internal and external communications and these so-called documents that were flying around didn’t have my signature,” Shehu said. “I didn’t fund them and I didn’t authorise them.

From what President Buhari himself had said at Chatham House (on February 26, 2015), he had no iota or knowledge of those documents. So, people cannot hold him to account on something to which he did not commit himself.” TheCable understands some of the people who worked for Buhari during the campaign are unhappy with their “public execution” by the presidential spokesmen. “To describe people who toiled tirelessly and selflessly for the campaign as being ‘on the loose’ is most uncharitable and very unfair,” one of them told TheCable.

“This is not how to reward people who did not collect one kobo, people who paid their way to the country from Europe and from the US to work for Buhari. You should have seen people working day and night simply because they believed it was time for change in Nigeria.”

WHAT BUHARI SAID AT CHATHAM HOUSE

Buhari had said at the Chatham House while responding to a question on his first 100 days in office: “The second [question]: high expectations and what to do with the first 100 days. Yes, I respect that question because quietly I was thinking about these high expectations. Those who are following the trail of our campaigns can see how people are turning out, some becoming emotional and crying. “I am really getting scared that if I get there they will expect miracles within the next week or months. That would be very dicey handling that one. I think we have to have a deliberate campaign to temper high expectations with some reasonableness on the part of those who are expecting miracles to happen. “Just to go first to the ‘first 100 days’, some of it is fraudulent and I don’t want to participate in any fraud in any form. Nigerians know that we are in trouble as a people and as a country. When we get there we will quickly get correct intelligence of what is on the ground and inform Nigerians and just learn what I have just read. “We will make sure that the misappropriation and misapplication of public resources will not be allowed. You would be surprised by how much savings we will realize. That saving will be ploughed back into development and this is what I can promise. But I would remove that ‘100 days’”

[s]Buhari keeps witch-hunting those who didn't support him during his election in the name of fighting corruption as he has also side-lined the south-east simply because they exercised their constitutional rights to vote for their choice candidates.
Buhari should know, like Femi rightly pointed out, that as a national politician, if people reject you, if they are not convinced by you, you should want to know why. Then you build bridges and begin to cultivate friendship, making necessary amends where possible. You do not go out of your way to emphasize parochialism, reinforcing their original fears[/s]

Enough of this Wailing...Its time to move on. Jonathan lost and that cant be changed. Its time to support yhe new government cos if it succeeds, u and I will be of benefit....if it fails you and I will be the greatest loosers!!!

You will be insincere to say that Orgar does not deserve what she got...

Lalasticlala

Is this not confusion? Why are these guys still interested in appointments from the "ZOO"
Cant they keep following Kanu who is living his life to the fullest in the UK while some hungry barbarians are risking their lives in the "ZOO" for a mere "day dream".

Buhari still have many appointments to make, enough of all this poo....

Marcel ‎Dim-Udebuani, an Igbo lawyer, has asked the federal high court in Abuja to declare all the appointments made by President Muhammadu Buhari null and void.

According to Dim-Udebuani, the president violated the federal character principle enshrined in the Nigerian constitution by allegedly favouring a sec‎tion of the country in his appointments.

The plaintiff, in his suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/ 732/2015, is also seeking the determination of the court on the constitutionality of the 25 appointments made so far, and the alleged alienation of the southeast from key positions. Dim-Udebuani argues that other zones in the country have representations in government, with the exclusion of only the southeast. He therefore urges the court to immediately reverse the appointments. The chairman of the federal character commission is joined in the suit as a second defendant.

The suit is one in a series of protests that have accosted the recent appointments of Buhari, who has been roundly criticised for their lopsided nature. The presidency has already promised to balance the appointments to ensure that no zone is left out.

destino24:
so it's OK to bend and break the law for the purpose of cleaning up the mess he found
Are we sure we wanna go down this path
He is neither an officer of the customs service nor a deputy comptroller, it's as simple as that.

Did you read the article or you just feel like wailing? Do u know better that a SAN?

Can you categorically tell me what law was broken?

Is a gazette a law backed by the Nigerian constitution?

dekdek:
The op recognized it and stated it with this headline:

FULL LIST OF GEJ's EQUIVALENT APPOINTMENTS AS AT HIS LAST DAY IN OFFICE:

Makes sense no doubt.

Lol...you and the OP are the bigger clowns. Look at his header...asides that how sane is it to compare last days in office with the first 100 days in office. Smh for u guys.....

In other words...No law was actually broken.

It is evident that Buhari is ready to clean up the mess he met....by appointing credible people in the highest revenue generating government agencies.

The only people that have problems with this appointments are the wailing wailers. ...they will rather see Buhari fail rather than Nigeria moving forward....forgetting that if Buhari fails, Nigerians like them are the biggest loosers.

PDP's style of opposition: Take credit for the good things in the first 100 days.....pass the Shitty ones to APC as their fault . How best can one be a wailing clown


Lasticlala

Did President Muhammadu Buhari make a procedural mistake in appointing Hameed Ali, a retired colonel, as the comptroller-general (CG) of Nigeria Customs Service?

According to section 3.11:1 of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Official Gazette No 24 Vol. 89 of 25th March 2002, the choice of the comptroller-general of customs shall be by “appointment of a suitable Deputy Comptroller-General of Customs (General Duty)”. This guideline is on page 226 of the gazette — which is an administrative publication of established procedures, orders and regulations.

A strict interpretation of the gazette would suggest that Ali was not qualified for the CG position since he was neither a customs officer nor a deputy comptroller-general.

But TheCable understands that in his desire to clean up customs, considered to be one of the most corrupt government agencies, Buhari could not find an insider to trust and decided to bring in Ali, who is known for his modesty and integrity. When Abdullahi Diko Inde recently retired as the CG, one of his six deputies was expected to be appointed as his replacement.

“Security reports on the current deputy comptroller-generals were not favourable in any sense,” an associate of the president told TheCable on Monday. “It became very clear to the president that he needed an outsider to thoroughly clean up the mess. Nigerians do not have any trust in the customs service, and this is one of the biggest revenue-collecting agencies for the federation.”

THE PRECEDENTS

Before arriving at the choice of Ali, Buhari had sought legal advice from insiders in his government, and he was given examples of how non-career customs officers headed the service in the past. Shehu Musa, a career civil servant, was appointed director of the department of customs and excise in 1975 to reform the structure inherited from the colonial government. Musa later served as the secretary to the federal government in the second republic. Haliru Bello Mohammed, a veterinary doctor, was in the ministry of internal affairs when he was seconded to customs as a director in 1989 by the government of Ibrahim Babangida. At the time, customs, immigrations and prisons were one unit under the internal affairs ministry. In 1990, after the three services were unbundled,

Mohammed was appointed the first CG of customs. He later became minister and acting chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the fourth republic. In 1993, a serving soldier, Samuel Ango, then a brigadier-general, was appointed sole administrator of the service by the Sani Abacha administration. Ango held the position until February 1999 when the Abdulsalami Abubakar government appointed Aliyu Ahmed Mustapha as the comptroller-general.

However, these instances were long before President Olusegun Obasanjo issued the administrative order in 2002 which was gazetted, thereby giving it a procedural authority.

Falana: A gazette is not a law

LEGAL LOOPHOLE?

The confusion appears to have been created by the Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA) which does not say anything on the appointment of the CG. It only specifies appointments into the board. Femi Falana, constitutional lawyer and a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), told TheCable that the gazette does not have the force of law and section 5 of the 1999 constitution empowers the president to make the appointment from outside the service. “For statutory bodies that the law does not clearly define how appointments are made, the president is fully protected by the 1999 constitution on how he can make the appointments,” he said. According to him, the gazette in question is “a scheme of service” which regulates the internal procedures of promotion within the customs structure. “What that gazette is saying in effect is that you cannot pick any customs officer below the rank of deputy comptroller-general as the CG. It is an internal procedure.

Ali was picked from the outside so the rule does not apply to him. The president is protected by section 5(1)(a) of the constitution which allows him to appoint anybody to help him exercise his executive powers,” he said. The section says: “Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the executive powers of the Federation shall be vested in the President and may subject as aforesaid and to the provisions of any law made by the National Assembly, be exercised by him either directly or through the Vice-President and Ministers of the Government of the Federation or officers in the public service of the Federation.” “By his appointment, Ali is now an officer of the public service of the federation overseeing the customs service on behalf of the president. No law has been broken,” Falana said.
None of the members of Inde’s team passed security screening, sources say

SOLE ADMINISTRATOR?

However, a retired senior civil servant, who declined being named, told TheCable that Buhari should have appointed Ali the sole administrator of customs and not comptroller-general because he is not a career customs office. “He can appoint Ali into the board and then make him sole administrator since he has a specific duty of cleaning up the place.

The comptroller-general is a career position that is done from within the service. In the case of Haliru Mohammed, he was already a director of the service. It was from there he was made CG by Babangida in 1990,” he explained. “Even under the military, they did not call an outsider comptroller-general. Ango was called sole administrator because he was a military man not a career customs man. When Mamman Kotangora was appointed to head ABU Zaria, he was not called vice chancellor. He was called sole administrator. You cannot appoint a VC from outside the university system.” He also said having attained the age of 60, Ali could not be named comptroller-general as this is unknown to all the rules related to the administration of customs. “You retire from service when you have either served for 35 years or you are 60 years old, depending on which comes first. Ali is already 60 and cannot be called CG, but he can be sole administrator and he can still carry out the reforms. As a sole administrator, that is a political appointment not restricted by age,” he said.

However, Falana does not support this position. “We are no longer under military rule, so the issue of naming Ali as the sole administrator does not arise. This is a political appointment, and that means the retirement age does not apply to him,” he said. Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, told TheCable that no law has been broken
