It is NOT an issue because it is simply and totally a rumoured allegation emanating from the APCheat house of LIES and propaganda.
If you have any credible information share with your senator and representative to impeach him, otherwise you are a filthy bloody LIAR.
QED!

Try another lie!

- Almost 50% of the senators and reps are with APC.

- Even they now have majority in the House of Reps.

- They also elected Tambuwal as Speaker instead of the yoruba woman sponsored by Jonathan and PDP.

Are all these not TRUE?

If yes, why would they not impeach him if YOU and other APCheat LIARS actually provide them with credible information if you have them huh

The answer is obvious- you are only circulating LIES and propaganda that cannot stand any test of credibility!
QED!

Stop listening to and regurgitating unsustantiated rumours.

Jonathan is not corrupt. El Rufai said as much and international bodies like Transparency International recognise the progressive way he is addressing corruption in our country.

Corruption index: ‘Nigeria’s improvement confirms Jonathan’s anti-corruption fight’


The Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, Mr. Reno Omokri, has noted that the Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index 2014 confirmed the success of the anti-corruption fight of the president. Nigeria improve on the CPI from 144 in 2013 to 136 this year.

He attributed the success to the clinical surgical incision made by President Jonathan at the centers of corruption in the country.
“The significant improvement Nigeria has made in the 2014 Corruption Perception Index released by Transparency International is as a result of the clinical surgical incision made by President Jonathan at the centers of corruption in Nigeria.

You may recall that the Fertilizer Procurement and Distribution regime of the Agricultural sector used to be a cesspool of corruption. Billions of dollars were lost as middlemen inflated costs yet supplied subpar products to our farmers. But under the guidance of President Jonathan, 14 million farmers were registered by the Ministry of Agriculture and were connected directly to the product through the e-wallet system which allowed the ministry send texts to farmers to go and pick up their fertilizer and seeds direct from the depot. Nigeria has saved close to $2 Billion that would have gone into the pockets of corrupt officials and middlemen by this system.

Also, I am sure Transparency International took into account the fact that this administration took the unprecedented step of auditing the workforce of the Federal Civil Service and in the process weeded out fifty thousand ghost workers saving Nigeria almost 350 billion Naira per annum. Due to the President’s determination to punish this economic sabotage, those responsible have been forwarded to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for prosecution to the highest extent of the law.

It is also common knowledge that this administration has all but eliminated electoral fraud. Nigerians as well as Transparency International can attest to the fact that all elections held under the watch of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, whether the 2011 General Elections, or the elections in Edo, Anambra, Ondo, Ekiti, Osun and Niger, have been free and fair and seen to be so by the International Community.
These and other policies are the criteria that TI has used to bump Nigeria up in her ratings.

The farm is big and massive. There is a special road construction that leads to and terminates into the farm. Its off the airport road directly facing kuje road.

Presidential farm is a retreat and presidential lodge meant to host visiting head of states

It was concieved by obasanjo as nigerian equivalent to camp david which was originally sited at obudu ranch only for yaradua to relocate the project to the north


Goodluck decided to relocate it to abuja from yaradua's early descision to move it to Bauchi
When some of you talk, please do well to talk sensibly. Didn't you read that Ebele Farms has Jonathan as the majority shareholder? A private business concern by a highly political exposed person and here you are making an analogy with Camp David and fooling yourself that it was originally meant for Obudu; relocated to Bauchi and curently berthed at Abuja.

Does integrity have a new meaning with you because Buhari is NOT am an of integrity at all, at all.

A man who stole $2.8 billion and fired the NTA reporter who was investigating it cannot be called a man of integrity lailai!
He is just a master pretender, No more no less.

Acidosis:
**He stole $2.8b as Petroleum minister, Money found in his UK Bank.

**Overthrow Shagari to cover his looting in oil ministry.

**He locked up Nigerians who try to expose his stealing.

**OBJ scraped PTF over Buhari’s misappropriation of over N2.5 billion.

Shagari’s regime (1979-1983), incurred Buhari’s wrath when it decided to investigate the US$2.8 billion (current value $68billion) that disappeared from the Midland Bank, London account of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation, (NNPC), during General Obasanjo’s era as military head of state that preceded Shagari’s. Dr. Olusola Saraki, Turaki of Ilorin, was the majority party leader of the Senate at the time and he headed the Senate Committee set up to trace the stolen money after some three years of clamour for such an investigation by members of the civil society. The money was traced to the Midland Bank London branch fixed account of Buhari, Obasanjo’s appointee as military head of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company.

The Committee’s report was presented to the Senate during the tail end of Shagari’s regime in 1983, so the House decided to deal with the matter soon after the 1983 general elections.

The attempt at civilian-to-civilian transition provided the fillip for mayhem at the time. The elections were marred by massive rigging because incumbent political office holders were refusing to slacken their stranglehold on Nigeria Plc., mortgaged as the leaders private property. On the 31st December, 1983, Buhari struck under the cover of the political commotion that trailed the presidential election results. Buhari generally had no agenda for leadership but vendetta against those he called critics and rabble-rousers.

Buhari did not see any moral wrong in his conversion of our oil money into his personal use. Rather he railed at the press and what he described as the self-righteous sections of the country for making a big deal out of the issue. He locked up without trial, politicians and critics including Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, notorious for clamouring for the exposure of the oil money rogue. Satire saved my neck at the time. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter then, was sacked through his prodding as military ruler, for reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her in an interview about how the missing money was traced to Buhari’s account at a Midland Bank London branch. Vera eventually won her case of wrongful dismissal in court against the NTA and was financially compensated.

Abacha rehabilitated Buhari with the chairmanship of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) before he (Abacha) died in 1998. When Obasanjo returned to power in May 1999 as civilian president, he found that over 2.5 billion naira had not been properly accounted for in the PTF and that there was not much on the ground to show for the colossal expenditure the agency was claiming.

On the day Obasanjo announced the scrapping of the PTF, a non-staff brother-in-law of the boss, allegedly serving as his conduit on some PTF projects, died suddenly from what appeared to be heart failure. Haruna Adamu, who was appointed by Obasanjo to investigate the PTF before finally consigning it to the dung heap, allegedly quickly pocketed one hundred million naira (N100million) of PTF’s money before operating table could be set up for him, thus forcing Obasanjo to hurriedly close the place down without further investigations. Buhari has been trying desperately since to return to power, perhaps to get a chance to shred the PTF documents?

You mean that in order to increase the President's feeding allowance which is the highest for any President since independence you rechannel the money the middlemen get and still steal everything by yourselves through your men at the "Deport" and your proxy farmers that you registered and send SMS to collect the farm inputs on your behalf.

You've only succeeded in transforming "Simple Currptions" to more "Sophisticated Currptions" that even "America Will (Not) Know).

GBTYO:
Fools everywhere.

If any of you osun dunces have ever visited Abuja and seen this project you will know it can never be owned by Jonathan or any private citizen for that matter.

The project sits on a very conspicuous swath of land around the vicinity of the Abuja international airport.

The FG as a matter of policy in order to not see a repeat of how private developments encroached the murtala Mohammed airport, allocated vast areas surrounding the airport to only government and security outfits.

Opposite the Airforce base, as you depart the airport to the city center all the land on this side up to Giri and Zuba have been allocated to the navy and army.

The farm is a presidential lodge that was conceived by Obasanjo's administration and originally meant to be sited in Obudu, Calabar as Nigeria's equivalent to the American Camp David. Obasanjo was inspired to do this after visiting Obudu ranch on invitation by the then Duke administration.

Yaradua in his northernization agenda decided to relocate the retreat to Bauchi.

When Goodluck got reelected he relocated it down to Abuja from Bauchi and not the original Obudu ranch so that he won't be seen as promoting a southern agenda.

This is the true story of this project.

It is not privately owned but a federal govt project that was conceived over 10years back.

The only private development around the airport is the Aviation Estate which is accessible only on the Musa Yaradua rd and is far from the airport.

Make una try get sense.

Olodo winch people from clueless and almajiri region.
Nice try, but would you please explain how his name was used in the registration of a government project as you proposed?

If all you wrote about Buhari and the "new presidential candidate Obasanjo" that TANiods have introduced into the race without Baba's consent are true then its more like the case of those two thieves crucified with Jesus one turns a new leaf, #GMBuhari, and wants Change but the other one #GEJAchievements remains adamant that he has done nothing wrong and its we Nigerians that are corrupt.

I may have to declare that I am not a fan of Goodluck Jonathan and hardly would be satisfied with his performance. Nonetheless, I'm not averse to a fair analysis of 'facts' on the matter that are in the public domain.

Firstly, it was alleged that the expanse of land was acquired through influence peddling by GEJ in 2011 for Ebele Farms. The record of incorporation of the said company should be at the CAC, so also are its directors and their equity participation/involvement and its business address. That can be verified!

Secondly, 90 something hectare was gifted it because of its ownership/affinity with a Highly Politically Exposed Person.

Perhaps you deliberately failed to consider the justificatification the counter NGO provided: that a precedence had already been established with OBJ gifting himself land and engaging in such agric venture when he was president and El-Rufai was Minister of the FCT.

You grossly overrate Jonathan when you said he is not dumb enough to appropriate government land. You can't put anything beyond someone whose appetite for crude/greedy accumulation is base and crass.

Every time someone points at the level of GEJonathan courrption you his supporters points at someone else that you claim did same looting sometime ago and nothing happened. So what shall we say then; shall we continue to steal so that nothing is left in the treasury?

1. Why must our President turn himself to Commander-In-Thief for transformation sake?

2. Why must he copy the bad examples if that's what you mean he's doing?

3. Why must he set these bad examples of stealing government money with impunity if he is the one they're copying.
