Would be governors need to be subjected to an induction course on the use of power particularly when you consider the constitutional requirement for the attainment of that position is secondary school certificate.

Amosun assumed the Ogun State Government position like an emperor. Giving orders for cancellation of everything in sight before opening a single file.

Within 24 hours, the golf course, one of the best in Nigeria was ordered to be demolished. I painfully remember the consequent demise of the owner

Permanent Secretaries sacked. He later complained when he realised the sacked Perm Secs would continue to receive their salaries for life.

Revoked the naming of Mike Adenuga stadium, which made the national sport icon embarrassed and withdrew the philanthropic commitment to maintain the sport facilities

Revoked the naming of Kensington Adebutu ICT Poly. Later realised the Billionaire was the one paying salaries of the entire body of staff and structures of the institution. Of course the embarrassed billionaire withdrew his philanthropic gestures

Scrapped the TASUED, the first University of Education in Nigeria. A fully autonomous, one of the most populous institutions in Nigeria that had become one of the most financially independent institution in the state.

Revoked the Agro Cargo licence inspite all resources committed and financial commitment of the foreigners to build the first of its kind Airport city in Africa.

Revoked Dangote refinery, despite investment committed. It was the most shocking of all cancellations. Dangote preferred the Ogun State terrain. His revelations and Amosun's explanations was more troubling.

Nigeria might be in for more shock when other marginalised investors of Amosun, the Canceller General of Ogun State government begin to show up. The man knew nothing about the Executive power, wielded it as much as possible to the detriment of the state, for ethnic scores.

This makes for very disturbing reading, even to my jaded eyes. Are you absolutely sure of this?

It was a PDP Governor who signed the contract just like the P&ID criminal case. It is always PDP and that's why we will never reward PDP or its low-budget version, ElluPee, with the Presidency.

Read the news very well, it wasn't Amosun's secretary but Gbenga's secretary. They were the ones that caused that assault on the Chinese man.
The contract was entered into during Gbenga Daniel's regime. Adekunle Amosun put final pen on the paper to seal the contract while Dapo Abiodun myopically revoked the contract illegally without following due diligence.
Meaning these three unintelligent and enemies of Ogun State:
Gbenga Daniel
Adekunle Amosun and
Dapo Abiodun caused the problem that has caused international embarrassment on the nation as a whole.
Why FG is involved is because of bilateral trade relation between Nigeria and China. All contractual agreement and obligations are binding on the nation as a whole rather than the micro state involved.
The best they can do now is to go on their knees and beg the firm authority and seek for out of the court settle with Nigerian government taken all responsibility to upset any damage and debt incurred in the contract scheme.

Which planet are you from. You definitely don't read or write English there. The SSG's name was mentioned and he is a public figure if you ever lived in Ogun State. Taiwo was Amosun's secretary, An Abeokuta socialite.

Gbenga Daniel signed the Ogun Asia FTZ at Igbesa. Amosun by his admission yesterday said the company that sued Nigeria fed him false information about the parties Daniel awarded it to, so Amosun revoked the Daniel-awarded company and appointed the party now in dispute with Nigeria the interim administrators of the FTZ. He said when he realised that the information they fed him was false, he sacked them again.

Dapo had no hand in the issue.

I'm not a prophet but read from another victim of Amosun's cancellation Policy. Utomi recounting his own ordeal too this morning on Premium times.

Are you so dense that you didn't see that IBIKUNLE AMOSUN was the one dumb enough to allow himself be deceived into revoking the CHINA AFRICA AGREEMENT by a rival Chinese company who are now the one DRAGGING your blockoss all over the world.

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Office, Omolola Odutola, said the police were not involved in the matter.

She said, “It is not a police issue; we are not involved. It doesn’t have anything to do with us

Useless people in a failed system where nothing works.

Anything they said the Nigerian police did, it did. They're monsters. That's why I weep for those who calls for state police - you can see what the governors are doing with the federal police not under their control.

They fly around looking for investors, but this is the message they send out there. You can see what they're doing to Dangote that's a local investor.

Stupid people.

The way Amosun frustrated Dangote refinery from his state is enough reason for me to believe he's capable of doing anything bad for political reasons.

I never knew Amosun was this thoughtless and crude until this event happened and I heard in an interview by Oshiomhole that Amosun and Fayemi were 2 persons who masterminded his removal from office as APC chairman because they felt he's going to be used by Tinubu and they want to be president too.

Such an Agberoistic way of doing things as a leader.

I still feel bad for Ogun people for what Amosun did to them by pushing Dangote refinery away from the state.


He should be barred from holding political office for life.

There had always been this competitiveness between Ijebu District where Daniel hails from and Egba where Amosun hails from. And it has been so since the days of the first Governor Bisi Onabanjo. Successive regimes have been rightfully or wrongly accused of developing their Districts of origin without much hassles. Every District just waited for its own turn.

Then it came Ijebu's Daniel turn who appeared like a maverick. Originated project that would forever tilt the superiority of the Ijebu Division; projects as Deep sea port (leveraging proximity to the sea), Dangote refinery (leveraging oil deposits), Agro Cargo Airport (to leverage Sagamu centrality).

Rather than come in to also initiate projects to equate the tilt. Amosun chose to cancel all projects in Ijebu to maintain Egba superiority.

It was a case of "Kaka ki eku ma je sese, a ma fi sawa danu ni" meaning- rather than give your division the upperhand, the state would rather lose the projects.

He went on to become the most sectional Governor the state ever knew. Unfondly called the Governor of Abeokuta.

I have gone through Amosun's statement on this China company scandal and it is an embarrassment.

Amosun is saying (in a nutshell) that he didn't read the document he signed.

None of this makes any sense. Is the man illiterate?

Chai, Amosun is indeed an idiot, he ought to permanently be in jail forever with his useless long cap

Racoon:
Imagine! The Nigerian police thinks this diplomatic failure case is an egunje bribe taking expedition. Please don't mix the situation for Nigeria, world powers are involved in this scandal

They think their barbaric ways works on everyone

FreeStuffsNG:
The company claimed that its personnel, including the Chief Financial Officer of Zhongfu Nigeria Ltd. (a subsidiary of Zhongshan), Mr Wenxiao Zhao, suffered verbal and physical assault by the police, acting on orders from the state government.

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Office, Omolola Odutola, said the police were not involved in the matter.

When contacted for a reaction to the allegation of threat, the Special Adviser to the Ogun State Governor on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, said the administration of Governor Dapo Abiodun knew nothing about the claims of the Chinese firm and could not respond to them.

Everyone is now denying that it is involved. Smh. This is preposterous! This is completely unacceptable. You inherit both the liability and assets of your predecessors. The current Governor and Ogun State Police Command should have escalated this to the FG and Nigerians instead of this kind of response after the poop has hit the ceiling fan.

Everyone alleged to be involved in this national embarrassment, including the past Governors of PDP under Senator Gbenga Daniel who signed the contract and its successor APC Governor, Sen. Ibikunle Amosun should be invited for questioning and if they are indicted must all be prosecuted like the FG did in the P&ID criminal case.

This is completely unacceptable if all these ill-treatment reports are true. EFCC and DSS must investigate this matter. It should not be left to the politicians.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Here’s a timeline of the events from the investment deal to the legal battles:

2001: China and Nigeria signed a bilateral investment treaty to encourage investment between the two countries.

2010: Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment, through its parent company Zhuhai Zhongfu Industrial Group, acquired rights to develop the Ogun Guangdong Free Trade Zone (OGFTZ) in Ogun State, Nigeria.

2011: Zhongshan set up a local entity, Zhongfu International Investment (NIG) FZE, to manage the development of the free trade zone. The Chinese firm then carried out several works, including the development of infrastructure such as roads, sewerage and power networks, within the zone.


2012: Ogun State appointed Zhongfu as the interim manager of the OGFTZ.

2013: A joint venture agreement was signed, making Zhongfu the permanent manager of the OGFTZ and giving it a majority shareholding in the project.

2016: Ogun State abruptly terminated Zhongfu’s appointment and took actions to expel the company from Nigeria, including harassment of its executives and revocation of immigration papers.

2017: Zhongshan initiated arbitration proceedings against Nigeria, claiming breach of the bilateral investment treaty.

2021: On 26 March 2021, the tribunal, chaired by Lord Neuberger, the former president of the UK Supreme Court, ruled that Nigeria breached its obligations under the China-Nigeria BIT and issuing a final award of $55,675,000 in addition to an interest of $9.4 million and costs of £2,864,445 payable by Nigeria to Zhongshan. The total amount is about $70 million.

All efforts by the federal government to amicably resolve the dispute between Ogun State and the Chinese firm were fruitless.

2023: Nigeria sought state immunity in a legal case but was denied by the High Court in the UK, which ruled that the country had exceeded the time limit for appealing arbitral awards.

In July 2023, the UK Court of Appeal upheld a $70 million arbitration award against Nigeria.

As part of its efforts to recover the funds, the company secured interim charging orders over the two Liverpool properties owned by the Nigerian government in June and August 2022.

2024: The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed the enforceability of the arbitration award.

Nigeria challenged the enforcement but the court held that it had the jurisdiction to enforce the arbitral award under the US Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.

August 2024: Nigerian jets were seized in France as part of efforts to enforce the arbitration award against Nigeria.

Wow they physically and verbally assaulted him?

China is going to deal with Nigeria.

Efuaye:
As usual, our police must show strength!
Buńch of Bûllies.

Argh fighting a superpower is a clever idea?

Ironbull:
These Chiness should stop this shit. Enough of all these noise, how dare ordinary firm having the audacity to siezed presidential aircraft, ordinary firm not even the Chiness govt, they are lucky someone like me not the president I will make sure that firm die a natural death in Nigeria. Nonsense!!!

Chinese firm listen good Nigeria is not Uganda, ok.

What effontry. I'm sure these gut is supported by one of the bitered loser playing opposition.

Yeah there is nothing special about Nigeria. Nigerians have a serious ego problem

viodemus:
chinese bill collectors, please don't use Nigerian courts, because they have no credibility, and they might kpai you. So, seize the whole state, seize the new Lagos port and apapa port, seize more things. If Nigeria (not eastern parts) drag feet, use overwhelming force.

They should, trying to fight China is suicide

Oh... Egba and Ijebu competition was a factor too.

Black people, we're not progressive. Where one come from shouldn't matter.


I heard him mouthing he wanted power to shift to Ogun east then, he brought Abdulkabir and somehow, the party under Oshiomhole preferred Dapo and the ticket didn't go his way. Now I know why he schemed to get oshiomhole out.

lexy2014:
they said no money for subsidy but they went behind, prepared a supplementary budget to purchase a new plane worth $500m.

the plane is the largest passenger plane in the world. what is tinubu doing with such?

I believe he will privatize it and buy and keep for himself before leaving office.

I read the newspaper accounts of Amosun's side (because as we all know, there are two sides to every story)...and it was an eyesore.

Nothing about OGSG's dealings with those Chinese companies (as reported by the press) make any sense whatsoever. Nothing. As I asked earlier on this thread, is it that Amosun and his advisers didn't read the documents and contracts they signed?
