If he could part with N3bn to fraudsters, I wonder how many billions he actually stole. |

[size=13pt]Nigeria’s constitution, a fraud -Fashola[/size] LAGOS State governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola, has condemned the constitution of Nigeria, describing it as fraud. Speaking at the presidential wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, on Tuesday, on arrival from Abuja, Fashola said the only way the impact of the local government areas in the country could be felt by the people was for the constitution to be amended in their favour. The governor described a situation whereby the Federal Government took the lion’s share of the revenue allocation as unrealistic, adding that both the states and the local governments were left to share a paltry 48 per cent, which, he said, was inadequate to take care of the challenges at the state level. He said if the government at the federal level was working assiduously with all the resources at its disposal, the agony Nigerians were allegedly experiencing would have been minimal, while challenging journalists to carry out independent analysis on the pulse of the people on the activities of the Federal Government over the years. He insisted that it would be difficult for the local governments to carry out their statutory functions of free health and free education at the primary school level, adding that they had been left with payment of salaries alone. “Now, which is the government that is closest and most impactful to the people? But sadly, it is the government that has the least revenue,” he said. Fashola said the appropriation law prescribed about N240 billion for 2011 for subsidies, adding that as of September, the country had exceeded the approved amount by an additional N1.2 trillion http://tribune.com.ng/index.php/news/30249-nigerias-constitution-a-fraud-fashola |
[size=13pt]Fraudsters dupe ex-gov N3bn [/size] The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has revealed how a former state governor, who was arrested and arraigned for alleged misappropriation of public funds, parted with a whopping N3 billion to a syndicate of fraudsters in a bid to avert his trial. Three ex-governors, a senator and some members of the House of Representatives involved in cases handled by the anti-graft commission have also lost huge sums of money amounting to over N100 million in some instances to the same syndicate allegedly led by a high profile personality who, however, was not named. EFCC spokesman, Femi Babafemi, who declined revealing the identities of the four ex-governors and other victims of the syndicate, said yesterday that three suspects who claimed to be acting on behalf of some top officials of the agency in swindling their unsuspecting victims had been arrested, while detectives were on the trail of their leader. Babafemi, who gave the hint at the commission’s head office in Abuja while parading two other fraudsters including a young man of 22 years, expressed shock on how a high profile victim of one of the suspects whose case had since been charged to court over a pension scam, doled out the sum of N50 million to one Alhaji Mohammed al-Amin, to halt his trial. Although Babafemi naming the accused person in the pension scam who was allegedly duped by al-Amin, the suspect eventually opened up and gave his name as Dr. Shuaibu Sani, who he claimed contacted him to assist in aborting his ongoing trial which had become a major hitch to the realisation of his gubernatorial ambition in Kogi State. “This man embezzled pension funds in Nigeria. I don’t know him before. He called me and said he is a governorship aspirant in Kogi State; he is in court now. He is Dr. Shuaibu Sani. He came to me in Kaduna in company with one of my neighbours and told me he had spent over N100 million on his gubernatorial ambition and the party primaries is not being held, and that I should help him. He wanted somebody to link him up, that the Kogi State governor already has a candidate of his choice who had compiled a dossier on him and sent to the EFCC. That was how the incident happened,” al-Amin said in his response to reporters’ questions. Shortly thereafter, a mild drama played out as the suspect exchanged hot words with the EFCC spokesman over the circumstances surrounding his involvement in an auction scam for which he was also being investigated by the anti-corruption agency. Al-Amin, described by Babafemi as a super fraudster who at various times had claimed to be a blood relation of powerful personalities in the country including the late president Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, vehemently denied the allegation but said he was close to Vice President Namadi Sambo, whose wife he claimed, was his student in 2004. The suspect allegedly claimed having close ties with the Sambos in an attempt to swindle some politicians in Kaduna. He was said to have offered to assist them in securing auction bids at the EFCC when there was no such exercise going on in the agency. But in his account of how he got involved in the botched deal, al-Amin claimed he had approached the vice president for assistance on the issue and was later called on telephone by his (Sambo’s) wife, who sought to know if an auction was actually going on at the EFCC. “Some group of politicians in Kaduna came to me and said they had assisted during the Goodluck Jonathan/Sambo election campaign, and wanted something like auction in the EFCC. So, I went to the vice president and told him that these people need your help. Later, after two days, the wife of the vice president called me and told me that the Chairman of the EFCC, Mrs. Farida was going to call me and she called me there and then. She (Farida) told me, you said there is auction in my EFCC, there is no auction; I told her I didn’t say there is action going on; that these people came to me and said an auction was in the offing, that they have registered and completed all the due process. So she said I should text her the name of the company, that if it is true that it is registered and had followed all the due process and is lucky, it will get. I didn’t call Farida; why should you say I called her,” he querried. Al-amin, however, insisted that he had maintained a close relationship with vice president Sambo over a long period and indeed, taught his wife before he became governor of Kaduna State and later, the number two man in the country. His words: “I know the vice president. I have been teaching Namadi Sambo’s wife from 2004 before he became governor, before he became vice president and I have nothing to do. I taught her in a school called Adis-Adis Koran. Go and see my house; my house is less than N5 million, it is not even my house. It is a house we inherited; we are two. But I had never said I am one of the Yar’Aduas, or that I am their cousin.” Also yesterday, the EFCC paraded 22-year-old Mr. Fidelis Tule, a Tiv from Benue State, who allegedly attempted to defraud two unnamed persons of N18,000 each, on the pretext of securing employment for them at the anti-graft commission. Babafemi said in his bid to convince his victims, the suspect who was in possession of a fake EFCC staff identity card bearing his name and the rank of a Senior Crime Officer 3, had printed employment forms which he claimed, were issued by the commission. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2011/oct/26/national-26-10-2011-001.html |
Been following this thread since inception. Taking notes. Got much to say, but I choose to keep quiet. |
And it took 3 years to work this out? I wonder how many years it will take to implement it. So 3 years were spent with fed allocations to decide putting 1 year before the existing 6 3 3 4. |
Good! |
The reason why I do not celebrate PDP's blueprints or roadmaps ![]() |
sexkillz:You called it maturity, I will call it wisdom |
Beaf:Let just say I expected all the plans to have been put in place long before now and by now we should be seeing some actions and possibly some results. I also noticed that the results of the blueprint will come by the end of 2015, after the next general election, so nobody can query any sign of failure of the blueprint before the next general election.

[quote author=aloy/emeka link=topic=786896.msg9392954#msg9392954 date=1319246032]The Afenifere leaders are clearly broke and needs some egunje from Daniel so they can push GEJ to block the case from the executive arm. It can be done n Nigeria for sure and all it will cost him is a few millions. I do not necessarily care about those shameless old men but I must say that I am very surprised that Olu Falae will be in that bunch.

Enough of blueprints already, about time we start seeing some actions and results. BTW, whatever happened to all the Rice/Cassava initiatives under Obj? |
