Haaa! The beginning of the End for a New country called South Sudan.

^^^, I think I might just start to agree with U. Listening to a woman who has been known to ve no regards for the poor and downtrodden!! No balls indeed. Sometimes this type of things makes OBJ look like a superman sef!

This govt + emeka wogu are jokers. Threatening what they can't do!, bunch of toothless bulldogs!!

I am guessing with the security situation around us, GEJ cannot afford to add people revolt to it. And I also guess NLC,TUC and civil societies have a window to press home their demands plus the fact that they ve a point! So for govt is a must to go back to #65 or else I see trouble brewing seriously next week! Plus pple now listen more to the civil societies than govt sef, anyway let's see what pans out today

Govs, 2 ministers insist on subsidy removal – Investigation

January 14, 2012 at 1:59 am by Daily Post Staff

Indications emerged in Abuja on Friday that if not for the insistence of some governors and ministers, President Goodluck Jonathan would have agreed to the demand of labour and reversed the price of petrol to N65 per litre.

Sources at the meeting held at the Presidential Villa on Thursday evening before the arrival of labour leaders, said that the governors insisted that the President must not buckle.

The meeting, which was held before the arrival of the labour leaders, was called to enable the government present a common position before meeting with labour and civil society leaders.

Jonathan had met behind closed doors with Vice-President Namadi Sambo; Senate President David Mark; his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu; Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim.

Others at the first meeting were Governors Babatunde Fashola (Lagos); Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); Liyel Imoke (Cross River); Adams Oshiomhole (Edo); Gabriel Suswam (Benue); Babangida Aliyu (Niger); and Peter Obi (Anambra). Also at the meeting were the Ministers of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; Trade and Investment, Olusegun Aganga; Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke; Justice, Bello Adoke; Labour, Emeka Wogu and Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu.

A source at the meeting said a majority of the governors told the President that if he backed down, he (the President) must be ready to scrap the Sovereign Wealth Fund.

The governors were said to have agreed to the setting up of the SWF with an understanding with the President that subsidy would be removed to enable them have more money to run their states.

The governors had earlier insisted that the SWF was illegal and that they would not be part of it. In several of their meetings, under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, they had vowed to work against it, saying that the passage into law the act that set the SWF up by the National Assembly was an error.

But Nigerians were taken aback when after making such noise about it, the governors later attended a ceremony where the fund was launched by the Federal Government.

Based on this, the governors were said to have informed the President at the Thursday meeting that they would ask that the SWF be scrapped if he decided to reverse the withdrawal of the subsidy.

The source said, “The governors were very clear that apart from the fact that it would show the President as being weak, it would be wrong for him to back out of an agreement he reached with them. “In the alternative, they asked that he could ask that the deregulation would either take off or government would increase the price of fuel significantly pending the final take-off day for deregulation.”

The source said that Alison-Madueke and Okonjo-Iweala insisted that the President needed not to back down.

Though other ministers at the meeting were said to have supported the two women, it was gathered that the two female ministers were insistent in their arguments on the need for the President to remain steadfast in the face-off.

“All the ministers, including the VP and the SGF were in favour of deregulation, except the Senate President, who advised that in the matter, the two parties must shift ground.

“I must tell you that it was the issue of security that made the government to shift ground. Left for the ministers, the government would not back down,” the source added.

Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party has hailed the decision of both labour and the government to shift ground on the raging matter.

And I so pity Mr Abati; he had shot himself in the leg long before he knew it.

now the truth is coming out, everybody will be implicated little by little!

This Babangida guy is the world greatest clown ve ever seen in my life! He should just keep shut and let us be!

wht is this?

words are cheap!

another Iraq in the offing, unfortunately!

first the wife and now the husband

what a bunch!

you must be on cheap drugs!

are you God to ask such a question in the first place?

foolish and selfish reasons and who says those allowed to use it cant be terrorist themselves

senseless people

this is PATHETIC

how can one endorse failure if one is not one too!

Instead of him to be proud of success eg FASHOLA,

Old stupid MAGA and destructive element and partly the source of our problems in Nigeria today!

God punish all of them

@poster

look at this scenario, my very good and dear friend is going for the LG chairmanship and i am even not voting for him!

Jega is very much diff from his broda plsss and that is the beautiful of democracy. even in my house myself and my wife are voting for diff people!

pls moderator remove this thread, it is useless to the eyes plss

this poster is really a clown!! with that performance at the last debate?

even my 2 year old will not vote him!!!

@naijaking1

yes privatization of telephone is a good thing. if you have had a thing or 2 to do with NITEL (from bills to connection troubles, sorry times indeed) you will agree with me on that! same will be the story with electricity whe it is privatizied, hopefully very soon

Eventually it will be very cheap and a good thing. you will only be charged for whatever you use. so if you will not be at home, you will not see the need to put on the light unnecessarily.
you can budget say 5k per month unlike now whereby you may not be able to quantify the amount of petrol one uses! and dont forget that there will be competition like we are having in the telecom sector right now.

for me YES TO ELECTRICITY PRIVATIZATION, !

hmmmmm,

let's see what the next few days will bring.

with me i have no probs with a musilim/ musilim ticket as long as they can perform!

no story,, but nigerians and religious sentiments is a big wahala

come to think of it is the Adeola guy a musilim sef?

If this election is not rigged (as i think it might be by PDP!!Jega beware!!!),

Buhari is still very much going to ASO rock, IMO , hmmm right now 55% chance

GEJ might just be a lame-duck president for the next 4 years!

in my own humble opinion

Well, well, hmmmm, anyway RIP.

How this Akala will win Oyo state this 2011 is still a joke to me!!

he thinks governance is about bling bling, !

I dey laugh seriously oooo!, ACN/ Accord will be laughing louder than I am right now,

bro whichever ways, your best is still a filthy rag

God just needs you to be good to yourself and neighbours,

Have you done that?

an average nigerian is an "institutionalized criminal"

these politicians came from this society, so no story!

Given the same chance as them, about 90% of nigerians will do worst things!

Take a look round yourself and see the insensitivity, cruel, crude and uncultured nature of our pple!

You will agree with me that such person when given power will definitely use it poorly!

Inconsiderate driving, jumping queueing, fraudulent behaviors, condescending attitude, etc, etc

and you expect the average person to be a sane leader!!! impossible

That means ACN respects the rule of law and order with the tenet of democracy at heart.

Unlike your PDP that would want to win elections "by hook or by crook", !!! (bloody thieves and undemocratic ass, les)

Winning a seat or 2 does not translate to winning the whole state or even the majority at that!!!

Can anyone help with prices of hotels in abeokuta.

I am looking at prices btw 4k - 6k per night

Thks

bros, i fit pay 1.2 million?
