. Onanuga is that you?

Look at you writing epistle just to shift blame. Admit it oga Onanuga, your paymaster over there in aso rock messed up this country beyond repair

You guys over there don't know what people are passing through

He made valid points. Why should all the blame be on the president? What are the state governors doing with their allocations that have increased since Tinubu came in? For instance, my state Akwa Ibom has received N519 billion between January and June this year alone, yet we do not have a standard farm for.food production, why won't people go hungry?

emkz:
I am not Bayo Onanuga, neither do I work in the presidency. I don't know anyone in the presidency either.

I am sorry you feel the country is messed up. I also do not gloss over the pain everyone is going through.

It is also painful to see that the leaders are living la Vida loca while the led are suffering.

My submission is that everyone must do their bit and everyone must he held accountable. That we put all the blame on one person while ignoring the other subheads diverts attention from those who have responsibilities to cater for their states. Remember the Oyo State governor said FG cannot dictate to him on the issue of LG autonomy. That is acceptable when money is involved, but not acceptable when other matters like taking care of the electorate is involved.

what you lack is balanced point of view, with the centralized system of govt .. holding the governors accountable have little gains to yield , the main sky over head is the FG .. it is FG policies that determine the cost of living, standard of living and the purchasing power of all nigerians not governors


what do governors determine for Nigerians ?? you want us to leave FG that holds our destiny and chase after Governors that hoard palliative

. Why pauparize the citizens and empower the governors in the first place?

Does it make sense to you? You reduced the purchasing power of the citizens and increase the financial war chest of the state governors

Admit it, his policies has failed. He hasn't gotten anything right since he assumed office. Admit it oga

While it seems criticisms of the president are apt, certain facts must be cleared.

Presidential transportation worldwide is a serious security matter. In our case, air transport of the president is handled by the Nigerian Airforce. If the airforce says a jet is unfit to fly the president because it might have stayed in service longer than specified, hence a potential aviation threat, it is only fair that we listen to them. We do not need to like them.

Those suggesting that the president must fly commercial or use his personal vehicles (like Deji Adeyanju) are not aware of the potential security threats. A Nigerian head of state was assassinated in broad daylight in his official car, while another one was murdered for not taking their security serious.

The aircraft here does not belong to Tinubu. It belongs to the Federal Government. Once Tinubu leaves power, he won't take the jet with him. So those accusing Tinubu of purchasing a private jet for himself are being ludicrous.

Yesterday, Charly Boy lied that the president's official car, Cardilac Escalade is worth almost 1 billion naira. A simple internet search showed that the vehicle is about 250 million naira. Still expensive, why did Charly Boy have to lie? When Buhari exited power, he didn't leave with the Maybach. The vehicle was not his. The Cardilac does not belong to Tinubu. DSS handles his ground transportation. Why not question DSS for proposing that vehicle?

And for those who are just realizing, the Cardilac Escalade SUV had been in use since last year and sighted several times in the convoy, how come they are just seeing it? The vice president is driven in one of such vehicles. How come they have not seen it?

Anyway, Kenneth Okonkwo says people are dying of hunger and there is no fuel or electricity. It is not Tinubu's job to cultivate arable land nationwide. It is not Tinubu's job to provide buses to transport people within states. These are things state governors can easily undertake on their own, and even local governments. We have seen the Niger State governor buy such buses. Once the burden of transportation is removed, the issue of fuel price would not bother so many.

The fact is that the president is being blamed for policies, but all presidential candidates agreed that subsidy on petrol needed to be removed. Even the messianic pontiff said he'd remove it on day 1. Suddenly, Tinubu is being condemned for taking the decision to save us from economic doom. It didn't make sense that we were borrowing to pay subsidies. Also, the removal of the parallel trade of fx was to tackle the fx fraud that drained our resources.

This meant that increased allocation could be used for developmental purposes in the states. What do the state governors do instead? We find them doing Hajj subsidies and Ramadan feeding, purchasing vehicles for traditional rulers, buying wheelbarrows to turn their unemployed youth to mai-barrow in the markets, and stacking funds for elections they are not sure of living to partake in.

Dear governors, learn one basic thing: from what happened in Kano during the August riots, when people take to the streets, they'd target governors first and they can only move up the ladder once they have brought you down.

You still have time to work for your people and address the basic problems of food security and transportation within your state. We shall criticize the president for the things we must criticize him on.

Chairman...
People are smart these days o, so becareful about your posts if it lacks certain details.

Did the NAF categorically say they lack an aircraft within their fleet to transport the president?

Go through the list of aircraft within the NAF fleet and question the decision of spending billions when alternatives existed.

Secondly I thought there was a national carrier... if push had become shove, where is the national carrier in this time of "national urgency" abi there was no Contract of Carriage?

Thirdly what was customed out about the new aircraft if it had to be purchased because of security??

It is a regular Airbus design. Check it out and see if all this was necessary.

Can we simply admit that some people have pocketed in this window of wastage?

I have always admonished governors to work for their people. I was not on Nairaland during GEJ's tenure, and I supported GEJ then before supporting Buhari. Here is when I admonished the Edo governor in 2020.

That isn't clearly defined.... It's a post from 2020 and that was APC tenure.

You're singing support for the president and asking people to hold governors accountable.... But these organs work simultaneously and without the policies of the president, the governors can't implement otherwise in their respective states.

What policies do governors need to cultivate their land and set up agro-processing zones in their states? What policies allowed Saraki as governor to invite Israeli farmers to Kwara State? What policies allowed a Harvard-trained economist to come to Jos to farm tomatoes and earned the nickname "Tomato Jos"? What policies allowed Governor Bago to import tractors and purchase buses as well as setting up a cargo airport to life agro-produce?

What policies allow governors to spend billions on Ramadan feeding and Hajj subsidy without addressing basic needs of water supply?

Now that Supreme Court granted LG autonomy, some state governors like Oyo are opposing it. Why?

My entire challenge to all of you is: do not absolve anybody! Hold everyone to account. The state governors purchased vehicles for traditional rulers; on what budget?

A country that has lot of challenges, even the two refineries that supposed to reduced our pain are not in good shape, yet they have billions of naira to buy jet and cars, what positive impact will that jet and cars bring to the masses. I still continue saying it, we don't have leaders in this country, all we have are criminals that cease power for their own selfish interests.

I am not educated.

I barely finished primary 4 before I dropped out to be responding to your level of thinking.

Since you are educated, can you answer the following:

(1) When governors received what can do a lot more than what they receive now, what did they do with the funds? What investments were made in education to enable me return to school to think like you?

(2) Do you realize insecurity played a crucial role to contributing to food inflation? Are you aware that Boko Haram became a behemoth in 2009? Are you aware of the historical farmers-herders crisis? Are you aware that by borrowing money to pay for subsidies and subsidizing dollars for the rich dug a hole in our finances?

(3) Are you aware that we were sitting on a ticking time bomb with useless leaders? Are you aware that in 2014, a finance minister wanted to set money aside and these same governors fought and shared the money? Can you explain what they did with the money?

(4) Are you aware that Buhari released excess crude funds to oil-producing states, including Delta? Are you aware they never told us, until Wike exposed them? Until today, no one person has asked those governors what they spent the money on.

(5) Are you remotely aware that state governors have the wherewithal to generate their own funds? Let them come out and tell us what they generate to augment the pittance you claim they receive from FG.

my guy u too sabi,two gunshot for u,kpoza and kpozaza for u, it pains me a lot t see some educated lot just jumping into the bandwagon to insult the president of the federal republic of Nigeria and they say it's criticism, a panel investigation recommended a change in the presidential plane and scouts found a secondhand plane that is below the market price and u guys want the government to overlook because u are hungry,

This meant that increased allocation could be used for developmental purposes in the states. What do the state governors do instead? We find them doing Hajj subsidies and Ramadan feeding, purchasing vehicles for traditional rulers, buying wheelbarrows to turn their unemployed youth to mai-barrow in the markets, and stacking funds for elections they are not sure of living to partake in.

Dear governors, learn one basic thing: from what happened in Kano during the August riots, when people take to the streets, they'd target governors first and they can only move up the ladder once they have brought you down.

You still have time to work for your people and address the basic problems of food security and transportation within your state. We shall criticize the president for the things we must criticize him on.

Always defending your oppressors, You better stop defending rubbish. You are obviously not intelligent enough to know what is called "misplaced priority". In this current economic mess Nigeria finds herself, is it proper or does it make any sense to buy presidential jet now?

We keep borrowing
Inflation rate keeps going high
Cost of living sky rocketing.
Fuel price on the rise
Dollar keeps getting stronger while naira weakens.

But Tinubu is more concerned about flying a new private jet, his brainless zombies will die to defend him. F.oolss.

emkz:
While it seems criticisms of the president are apt, certain facts must be cleared.

Presidential transportation worldwide is a serious security matter. In our case, air transport of the president is handled by the Nigerian Airforce. If the airforce says a jet is unfit to fly the president because it might have stayed in service longer than specified, hence a potential aviation threat, it is only fair that we listen to them. We do not need to like them.

Those suggesting that the president must fly commercial or use his personal vehicles (like Deji Adeyanju) are not aware of the potential security threats. A Nigerian head of state was assassinated in broad daylight in his official car, while another one was murdered for not taking their security serious.

The aircraft here does not belong to Tinubu. It belongs to the Federal Government. Once Tinubu leaves power, he won't take the jet with him. So those accusing Tinubu of purchasing a private jet for himself are being ludicrous.

Yesterday, Charly Boy lied that the president's official car, Cardilac Escalade is worth almost 1 billion naira. A simple internet search showed that the vehicle is about 250 million naira. Still expensive, why did Charly Boy have to lie? When Buhari exited power, he didn't leave with the Maybach. The vehicle was not his. The Cardilac does not belong to Tinubu. DSS handles his ground transportation. Why not question DSS for proposing that vehicle?

And for those who are just realizing, the Cardilac Escalade SUV had been in use since last year and sighted several times in the convoy, how come they are just seeing it? The vice president is driven in one of such vehicles. How come they have not seen it?

Anyway, Kenneth Okonkwo says people are dying of hunger and there is no fuel or electricity. It is not Tinubu's job to cultivate arable land nationwide. It is not Tinubu's job to provide buses to transport people within states. These are things state governors can easily undertake on their own, and even local governments. We have seen the Niger State governor buy such buses. Once the burden of transportation is removed, the issue of fuel price would not bother so many.

The fact is that the president is being blamed for policies, but all presidential candidates agreed that subsidy on petrol needed to be removed. Even the messianic pontiff said he'd remove it on day 1. Suddenly, Tinubu is being condemned for taking the decision to save us from economic doom. It didn't make sense that we were borrowing to pay subsidies. Also, the removal of the parallel trade of fx was to tackle the fx fraud that drained our resources.

We find them doing Hajj subsidies and Ramadan feeding, purchasing vehicles for traditional rulers, buying wheelbarrows to turn their unemployed youth to mai-barrow in the markets, and stacking funds for elections they are not sure of living to partake in.

I am not surprised tho, Satan also have devoted followers who are ready to die defending every of his actions even when they know it is wrong.

Didijiji:
where is the insult?

There was no single insult in all you said.
I also want to know why they didn't go after the cabal or rich people whom the subsidies of dollars&petrol was to their advantage thru currupt practices.

emkz please be brave enough to withstand honesty
