Na

Fayose was more active ..

Kalu was just supporting the north .. being an enemy of Obasanjo after Obasanjo betrayed his business

The north killed that bill..
Who is Fayose? That one is a second class politician of 1999 structure.

Obasanjo never had any problem with Orji Uzo Kalu until the third term agenda. Orji Uzor Kalu single handedly sponsored OBJ's presidency with the help of PDP.

MadamExcellency:
The bill was pass by two third of each chamber of National Assembly after Obasanjo refused to sign. The NASS stood down the president veto.
This same bill Alamesiya said Obasanjo approved in 2000?

Even the screenshot you shared was NDDC bill and it was in June after the sharing revenue already passed earlier.

He did not sign the final outcome of the bill. Don't you understand what it meant when the president vetoes a bill and send it back to the NASS? OBJ wanted to kill the bill but Ghali N'Abba and Chuba Okadigbo mustered two-third majority in each chamber to override his veto and pass it into law.

I was privy to what happened then and I don't need internet to tell the story.

See below is how they voted on NDDC bill.

“Out of the 306 members that attended the House sitting Thursday, 302 voted 'yes', one 'No', while the remaining three abstained from the voting conducted by the Clerk of the House, Mr. O. Ogunjimi.”
Almost all the rep voted Yes and that is just the NDDC which is a bill. It is difference entirely form the 13% derivatives which is another thing.


Revenue allocation formulae is different from NDDC act.

Orji gave obj 200 mill

Does not mean he sponsored him

Obj won PDP primaries at Jos convention in 99

Someone brought bullion van to the venue … when he almost lost to ekwuem
I don’t know how you guys get your info

This not beer parlor talk

Obj grounded slok after orji aligned with north against him

Grounded his. Shipping vessel

Slok relocated to Zambia and operate from other African countries


200 mill orji gave to obj to resume after his prison was a personal affair not a PDP affair

Which Yoruba publicly supported 3rd term agenda of Obasanjo, during his second term.

Mention one.

You're comparing national tax reform with personal ambition of Obasanjo.

All this is academic. The bill will be passed with some tweaks here and there.

Kudos to our senators from south south, we have moved from emotional politics to development and practical one, no matter party differences. Only fools will go against the bill in Southern Nigeria. Let south west and south east join too. The north can't be benefiting from what the have been banning and destroying. To igbos even if you don't like the face of the president, don't throw away the baby with the bath water.

[quote author=SalamRushdie post=133176923]South South senator support is what we term Trojan support , they need this bill to passed so they have a valid claim to immediately start demanding for 60 percent oil derivation..[/quote Continue with high expectations without reading the documents. The 60% derivation sharing fomular is for VAT revenue. And VAT is consumption tax, not production tax. SS can seek, more percentage of oil royalties(production),money,But always know the issues at stake before making noise. For me SS already is requesting for all of oil revenue,so nothing new. Justification, legality and how to realise it are the hurdles to cross.

No news. What else did you expect from South-South? In fact, the entire South should support it but it must be watched to see that another Alpha Beta is not hiding in the shadows.
The 3rd south won't be happy about this.....anytime tinubu gets the support of the SS on anything,it eats them up from the inside.

you this ipob member self, anything that will make you people get Biafra is what you want. You people goes nowhere cos Aguyi Ironsi and Ojukwu killed many members of Isaac Boro and jailed him too for clamouring for niger delta republic. If he was allowed, we in south south would have been enjoying our God given Oil but those two stupid fools believe in one Nigeria then, just because they were in control of power. What is good for goose is good for gander also. Because no Igbo president since after Aguyi Ironsi, you people now know of separation. If Obi has won last year, we would not have heard Biafra again. Criminals. That is why we south south can't join you people to fight the government or to get Biafra republic.

And what's wrong with that,the last I checked they have every right to demand whatever they want in so far they play their cards right.

Let the southern Nigeria senators too stand their ground and support the tax reform bill. You can't be collecting from the south and be given to the north use your resources for your development

Lol, you’re using news of 2000 to counter me.

This is 2004 below where the bill was already passed and Obasanjo was lashing at South South governors for spending anyhow.

To even use your own news, did the SW in the house/senate oppose the bill back then? So what is the argument again?
Those guys have no legacy in the Nigerian project other than the civil war and bringing discord everywhere they go.....they see the SW as their enemies not knowing they are worst off with that assumption.

He’s the President.. no one underestimates the President
You heard what Zulum said … “ we know he can have his way” then after that we have our way.

As for now that bill is suspended till further notice
That’s from the council of state and his economic team .. and if he so chooses to call their bluff.. he’s the President he should enjoy

Do you know how many goodies Obasanjo hide under the 3rd term bill?

The. Yoruba nation supported it .. you dey whine me .. aside fayose that was vocal because of his poultry deal that went wrong. .. with Obj which other Yoruba person was against it
Tomorrow’s you people will want to twist narrative of no Yoruba is supporting Tinubu on this tax reform after it has been killed

We have over 400 tribe in Nigeria not just yorub .. don’t think everyone is a Yoruba man

And we will also support them wholeheartedly.

Anything that will restructure Nigeria is all we need. The executive should push the bill that all states should keep 60% of their resource derivation and also allow state police and only use FG for military act.
No,to State Police. But other things demanded in the TAX Reform Bill is okay.

It points to True fiscal federalism.

Governors Will use state Police to oppress their opponents. We are not yet matured for State Police.

It's a gradual process. We shall definitely get there!
