Dear BAT fan boys,

Wike commissioned 11 flyovers in 24 months. Of the over 60 flyovers and bridges in Lagos state, Tinubu can't point to just one that he executed in 8 years as governor of Lagos. Can any Urchi.n give an explanation to this?

A healthy and younger Tinubu commissioned:

Zero flyover in 8 years
Zero rail project in 8 years
Zero mono rail in 8 years
Zero airport in 8 years
Zero cargo or sea port in 8 years
Zero bridge construction in 8 years
Zero tertiary institution in 8 years, no university, no polytechnic, no technical college, nothing!
Zero tertiary healthcare facility in 8 years
Zero investment in state media in 8 years.

Yet he left 100bn debt for Fashola to pay off.

I launched a 50k challenge two days ago for any urch.n that can point to just one bridge or flyover that Tinubu constructed in 8 years in Lagos and no one could name just one. Someone added 150k, yet no feedback.

Take it all leave it, Ojuyobo aka Tinubu is the worst governor Nigeria ever had. Taking Fashola's and Sanwo-Olu's successes as his predecessors' won't do you all no good. The people you're trying to convince are not f00lish na. Lol.

*********************************************************************************************************************
Wike commissioned 11 flyovers in 24 months with over N250B backlogs of derivation funds released to wike by Buhari. Whereas Tinubu allocation was seized for 4 years by Obasanjo.

YET TINUBU ACHIVED THESE WITHIN 8 YEARS
1. Power: Tinubu’s government, in 2000, contracted AES to build an IPP that will generate 270MW of electricity to Lagos residents in order to exit the irrational power supply being provided by the FG. The 270MW is now part of our national grid. It is the first of it’s Kind. Tinubu electrification project covered over 100 communities. In his first term, 53 rural communities were targeted. The projects were completed in Egan, Atewolere, Ifesowapo, Aboru, Agbado Ayetoro, Akorede, Isheri Ikosi, Orile Aguntan, Rofo, Borokini, Omologbede, Araromi, Oke Agbo, Erekusu, Logberu, Okegelu and Ebute, Lekki. Others were Origanringan, Onigbolakowe, Oke odo Elemoro, Ipaja Isale odo, Agenuba, Ajelogo, Mutaku, Egansando, Ayanfe, topo and Ikola Agbenaje.

2. Decentralization: In order to bring governance closer to the people of Lagos state, Asiwaju created extra 36 LCDAs which led to the disagreement between Lagos and the OBJ led FG. They are still working till date. Nigeria needs someone who believes in this!
First of it’s kind

3. Economy: With an IGR of just over 600million naira when he took over, different initiatives which included the reorganization of the LIRS led to an unprecedented IGR of over 7billion monthly after 8 years, the sustainability of which has brought same to 57bn in 2022.

4. Health: Decentralization of the Health Management Board led to the creation of LASAMBUS, an ambulance management scheme, Hospital Services Commission and Lagos State Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency. In addition, policies such as “Roll Back Malaria”, “Jigi Bola, Free Health Policy for children below 16 year and adults above 65 years are verifiable ones that stood him out then. The First of its Kind.

5. Infrastructure: Roads, Railway Roadmaps, Port Roadmaps, Housing Roadmaps. Hospital Roadmaps.

6. Investment: Lekki Free Trade Zone opened Lagos to investors and now several top companies/bodies have their headquarters there including the biggest consulate office of the USA. Lekki infrastructure company, Eko Atlantic.

7. Housing: Decentralization of the ministry of works and housing gave birth to the conversion of the housing department to a full fledge ministry which was charged with providing 500 units of houses yearly. This single move led to making the Lekki corridor the fastest growing real estate investment haven in Nigeria. Housing sector was opened to the private investors and Lagos became the highest destination for real estate investors in Nigeria.

8. EDUCATION: Payment of WAEC fee for students from all walks of life so far you live in Lagos. Several schools were built. The One-Day governor program started with the spelling bee competition.
First of its kind

9. SECURITY: The closest thing to state policing started in Nigeria under Tinubu, with RRS in 1999. The prisons reformation in order to curb activities of criminals, led to conversion of Ita Oko Prisoners Camp to a Youth Skill Acquisition Centre. Infact RRS is now the most performing police force in Nigeria. To make things work, he created the Lagos security trust fund where private sector come together to invest in Lagos security in conjunction with the government.


10. ENVIRONMENT: LAWMA, LASEPA, LWC, PUMAU, LASECA. All formulated by
Tinubu to tackle the issue of environmental decay in Lagos.

11. EMPOWERMENT SCHEMES: The creation of several agencies led to several openings in the government which led to jobs in LASTMA, LAGBUS, LASEWA etc. First of its kind.

APGA cannot mourn the exit of Mr Peter Obi with all these secret findings surrounding him.

1. Those who knew Peter Obi will attest to the fact that he has been a drug dealer beginning from his days as an undergraduate at UNN. He was hardly attending lectures and only managed to graduate with a third class in Philosophy after spending 12 years in the University.

WHY BOLA AHMED TINUBU MAY BECOME PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA...

By Fred Chukwuelobe

The Jagaban is back. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is back. He's the most talked about politician today.

Let me say this, he may become president of Nigeria.

Politics is about strategy, networking, empowerment and tact.

Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu is a strategist. He's a mobliser. He's a benefactor to many people.

In Nigeria of today, he remains about the only politician who left office, put people in offices and has maintained a strong hold on his followers and oils his political machinery still.

Politics is not won by shouting 'God forbid', drug baron, bullion van bandits etc..on social media and in pubs.

It is not won by shouting curses on social media.

It is not won by repeatedly accusing a politician of corruption without going to court to prove it.

It is about strategic thinking, planning, execution and mobilisation.

Tinubu is a strategist. He's a planner. He's a mobiliser. He's generous. He is planning, mobilising, strategising, and reaching out.

What is your candidate doing? Shouting 'it is our turn'. Which turn? Left or right?

You can ask how, where he got the money from. Many of those you support should also answer your question.

You can accuse him of all sorts.

If he becomes president, there's nothing you can do.

If you don't want him to be president, begin now to plan how to stop him. But it's not by writing on social media and shouting abuses.

He has the press at his beck and call. He has powerful pen pushers. He can match you in all fronts of propaganda.

Besides, if Muhammadu Buhari can rule Nigeria for 8 years, why not Tinubu?

Tinubu has many things to his credit. He also made it possible for Buhari after many trials.

Like you, he may not approve of the way Buhari has governed this country. I don't approve of it either.

Under Buhari this country is more distressed than ever. Tinubu is partially responsible for this state of affairs.

What can we attribute to Buhari before Tinubu brought his machinery to help install him?

The only thing I can credit to our president is being the worst bigot we have ever seen, and presiding over the country in the worst manner possible.

If Tinubu comes for my support, I'd give it to him. He will have to promise me that he'd be broadminded.

No politician is a Saint. Therefore, nobody should expect the Jagaban to be a Saint.

I repeat, Tinubu may become president of Nigeria.

He has all it takes to secure the ticket and go ahead to win. You heard me? Win!

You're free to shout, 'God forbid'.

Except his opponents plan well to upstage him, I won't be surprised if he becomes our president.

Unless God forbids it, it may happen.

The Intel contract is what we describe in Lagos parlance English as “robbing Paul to pay Peter” — stealing millions of dollars from your country to employ less than 2,500 staff and spiel about creating jobs.

Here is the full deal..
In 1993, Intels was awarded contract for the construction of berth 1, 2 and 3. and another one In 2007, for the development of berth 4-6 at FOT Onne at a cost of over $90m. The company charged interest on the contract sum and repayment was through amortization by NPA.

In 2011, same Intels Nig Ltd was awarded yet another contract for development of Onne Port phase 4 at a contract sum of $370m. By the time contract was completed, interest rate of 18.5% (amounting to over $60m) was paid by NPA bringing the contract value to over $430m.

In 2014, a sister agency of Intels, Deep-Offshore Nigeria Ltd was awarded yet another contract for development of Onne Port phase 4B at a contract sum of $2.7b and interest rate of 16% paid by NPA on Unpaid invoices.

For clearer perspective, Daelim Joint Venture executed 20 deep-water berths wharf terminal in Singapore for just $1.8b. Intels inflated construction of 8 deep-water berths in Onne for $2.7b.

And do you know the source of repayment for these huge contract sums plus accrued interest? It’s from Port dues and service boat revenue collected and kept by Intels Nigeria Ltd on behalf of NPA for which Intels Ltd collects 28% commission from NPA.

Who gets 28% commission for monitoring revenue collections any where in the world?

But let us all continue to pretend that Atiku is an employer of labor at the expense of masses of Nigerians.

Since he is very successful, we look forward to having a “TedX Maitama” on how to become a billionaire businessman after serving in the public service...
