Sincere 9gerian: The governor and chief executive of the centre of excellence commissioning STREET LIGHTS? Wonders shall never end. Smh

Sincere 9gerian: If you dont show me where I accused Rochas of non-performance, then you'r a shameless LIAR. My position on Rochas on this forum is that I supported him in 2011 to win against Ohakim but he has disappointed me so far. His policies and programmes- from fourth tier of govt, privatisation of state hospitals, free tertiary education,etc- are not SUSTAINABLE. His attitude in govt is nauseating. He's been behaving like a clown in govt house. That is my position. That does not mean non-performance. I'm not in Imo to determine whether he has performed or not but I hear he is building roads, schools,etc.

I nominated Jang. I gave them Jang and I asked the Governor of Benue, Gabriel Suswam, to support me and many people supported me.”

Sincere 9gerian: Okay, Jonathan was governor for 18months (not "about 1yr". Are you happy?

Sincere 9gerian: @OP.., I dont see what Jonathan got to do with all of those. The dates shown in the case of Bayelsa are 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 but Jonathan was governor of Bayelsa for about one year in 2006/2007.

By the way, even if there were alleged infractions in 2006/2007, it should be stated clearly that what was budgeted is different from funds released, atleast in Nigeria. That N3billion was budgeted for a particular project in 2012 for instance, does not mean N3billion was released for the project in 2012. Sometimes, no funds will be released for what has been budgeted for or the funds released will be far lower than what the budget says. This is why most times, budget implementation is in the range of 60% or even lower. In the ongoing ministerial platform, the ministers will always give what was budgeted for their ministries and how much was released.

Nonetheless, that does not exonerate any of the accused of wrong doing. But those engaged in investigative journalism should do a more thorough job. Its not enough to run to town with the budget.

Meanwhile, @Op., I think you should be confident and intelligent enough to pick a moniker for yourself rather than engage in impersonation. It is a shame you cant do a thing as simple and easy as pick a username.

Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan (born 20 November 1957) [1] is the President of Nigeria . He was Governor of Bayelsa State from 9 December 2005 to 28 May 2007, and became the in as Vice President of Nigeria on 29 May 2007.

sincerenigerian: Thanks! I was having problem posting them earlier because I was on my job's computer. I am home now. The politicians like Alams, Jonathan and Silva have looted the people of Bayelsa State to oblivion. You will be amazed if you read the whole article with the amount of money approved for renovation of those dilapidated school buildings you see in the pictures. It is on record that money approved for those buildings had already been spent on them. Unbelievable.

Meanwhile, the people of Ikwerre had vowed that Amaechi would not be disgraced out of office, but complete his second term in 2015. Speaking under the aegis of Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality, they stressed that the governor had not committed any offence to deserve the barrage of criticism and suspension from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

One of the legislators, who spoke on the occasion, Azubike Wanjoku, advised those plotting to impeach the governor to use themoney intended to bribe the lawmakers to construct the East-WestRoad. Wanjoku, representing Ikwerre constituency, who is one of the 27 pro-Amaechi lawmakers, stated that the governor’s detractors were opposed to good governance.
