Nigeria might experience harsh military takeover from the way politicians are recklessly throwing caution in the air

MaxW11:
Actually sad reading through the comments. Mostly from presumably youth as well, who think leaders can get into office and distribute resources meant for everyone, preferentially to a few friends. Some folks with warped minds actually think that is okay?
I really shudder to imagine what the futures like, it is well.

OneCandleAway:
You have a problem. Of all the issues bothering FCT, the important thing is to dash loyalists vehicles. Abuja lacks mass transit bus, which leads to one chance thriving. The over inflated cost they would have put down for those 80 vehicles can buy 20 coaster bus to help ease transportation at an affordable rate since most people live far away from their place of work.

Once again you have a problem.

CSTRR:
It's only on nairaland you would see children of peasants defending elitism.

Peasants o.

People that would never be rich even in their 10th generation defending crooks.

Hope say yarimo and all these APC bots on nairaland sha see keys..

E go bad .. say na 25k dem collect... while senators and ministers contacts collect keys ..

Apc is evil.

Tinubu Yoruba government na scam.

Chinjo2:
Wike is like the devil. He doesn't give anything for free.
He is doing all these just to make sure he wins FCT and Rivers State for Tinubu in 2027 so as to stay relevant politically.

Abuja is not Rivers, Wike can not win Abuja for APC, waste of money. When inside Aso rock, the staff and residents dey vote for opposition party 😂

bixton:
All that matters is that those given are Nigerians and that is all there is to it. Is it not even good that the FCT Minister who is a PDP member is giving out those vehicles to APC members if that is what you want us to believe!!! Or do you think Wike does not know those in PDP in FCT to give same.
After all the palliatives PBAT administration gave to all the State governors was it not shared along party lines even after hoarding of same by the governors.

They should have gone to the streets to share the vehicles. Nonsense!

SmartyPants:
Nonsensical talk. What Wike did was a youth empowerment scheme by way of taxi driving.
Now to take a brief detour, note that the word used was "loyalist" which is a broad term you've disingenously switched out for "party member" in order to make your tedious point.

And in case you want to embarrass your education by claiming not to get the distinction, the difference is that loyalist is such a vague term that even someone who merely posts on twitter that they support a certain party could be called a loyalist. Is that a reasonable basis to deny someone an economic opportunity?

This is the bottom line: Are there 80 less unemployed youths today as a result? If yes, that's what matters no whether they are APC "loyalists"


Take it or leave it.

ivandragon:
Please, what criteria was used in selecting the beneficiaries and what are the terms and conditions attached to it?

SmartyPants:
Why are you asking me sir? Not being a resident of the FCT, I heard about this on the news like you did I presume. That is why I started by asking the accusers to present a full case.

I then addressed their case on the strength of what they have already presented i.e the complaint that the award favoured APC loyalists.

I concluded that in the absence of other facts, this alone does not disclose an offence.

ivandragon:
Ok.

I was asking because I noticed you were one of those vehemently rationalising the alleged manner the cars were distributed, so I thought you had more details to justify your stance.

chrisxxx:
We know you people if it doesn't favour you, you become bitter.

OneCandleAway:
Weyrey

Any objective criticism is from Igbo to you.

Dunce...

MaziX:
Apc is not a poor party. Thank u

SmartyPants:
My stance is simple. The question of political parties is irrelevant as long as the federal character principle is upheld. Now if there is evidence of corruption that's a different story but even the accusers have not said so.

ivandragon:
Apologises if I seem to be going back and forth with you on this.

Even with the possible adherence to federal character principle (which you are not certain about and which makes it all the more intriguing why you are sticking out your neck to rationalise the matter), don't you still think there should be clearly stated criteria to enable as many eligible candidates have a chance at this opportunity?

Especially bearing in mind that the resources used in purchasing the vehicles are state resources which are contributed regardless of ethnic, political and religious affiliations?
