It was because pressure was put on Jonathan that he sacked:

- Stella Oduah and
- Barth Nnaji

on SUSPICION and allegations of corruption.
Unlike the sick old man in Aso Rock currently who has been protecting the thieves working with him.
Obviously Jonathan ran a LESS corrupt government than Buhari.

Jostico:
I repeat Nigerian problem is right there from the house

fuckingAyaya:
change begins with me but I hope this not talk for the media.250million for gateman house,money for house for lekki,God will help us

adegeye38:
d problem of corruption in nigeria is nt d leaders, its d people, we are naturally selfish, self centered, greedy, destructive its in our blood we were born with it, we all contributed in destroying dis country, we love corruption, we encourage it, we justify it and we are currently enjoying the dividend our religiousness doesn't help either cus we wallow in religion hypocrisy, so morrally we are decayed, religion wise decayed, society decayed and d same society will keep on producing fools as leaders.

Change must come from within

GenBuhari:
He knows Buhari is not coming back and his new resident would be Aso Villa.

nijascammers:
your reading comprehension is very myopic, you know why? "... but had never featured in the two budget proposals of the Buhari administration: neither in the 2016 nor the 2017 spending plans"

Senate has invited Julius Berger Plc. over the additional N9 billion sought for the completion of the construction of Vice President Namadi Sambo’s official residence. Chairman of the Federal Character Committee (FCT), Senator Smart Adeyemi, disclosed the to newsmen in Abuja yesterday.

According to him, the committee will invite Julius Berger to explain the matter at a public hearing scheduled to hold in January. Adeyemi noted that though his committee could neither arrest nor prosecute anyone found culpable of inadequacies and corruption, it is the responsibility of the executive and Nigerians to decide whether the project should be stopped or more funds be appropriated by the National Assembly.

He said: “Our own job as legislators, especially when we go out for oversight functions, is to expose all inadequacies. It is for the media, the civil society and the executive to take it from where we have stopped.” “We do not have the power to compel anybody to be arrested or prosecuted.

If we expose something, it stops there. We’ve invited Julius Berger construction company, handling the project to come and justify it and we are still on this.” “We are bringing them to a Round Table. If we had not wanted it to be exposed, we would not have gone there at all or we wouldn’t have gone there with journalists. We want Nigerians to see the sincerity of what we are doing. We have made it open to Nigerians and it is for Nigerians or the executive to decide whether the project should be stopped.

But we’re inviting the construction company to meet us in January to come and justify the additional N9 billion being sought for the project,” he said.

Senate rejects extra N9b on Sambo’s official residence
THE Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Thursday opposed additional N9 billion expenditure on Vice President Namadi Sambo’s official residence, which is under construction. Chairman of the Committee, Smart Adeyemi, who spoke while on oversight visit to the project site, said such a huge amount of money was uncalled for, especially at a time when most Nigerians are under harsh economic condition. The Executive Secretary, Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), Adamu Ismail, had earlier told the lawmakers that the project was awarded in 2009 at the cost of N7billion. He added that the proposed augmentation of the contract cost was necessary to provide furniture, fencing, two additional protocol guest houses, a banquet hall as well as security gadgets. According to him, the new proposal was not included in the original scope of work being handled by Julius Berger Nigeria Limited. In his response, Adeyemi said the National Assembly would not appropriate additional N9 billion for the project. “The N9 billion is far more than the original cost of the project.” Vice Chairman of the Committee, Domingo Obende, however, asked the Executive Secretary to submit the additional scope of work for which the fund is required to the panel for proper scrutiny. According to Ismail, the proposed N9 billion has been slashed to about N6 billion by the Bureau for Public Procurement (BPP). “We have worked out the details and passed to BPP for consideration and they have sent it back to us with their observation. We requested for N9 billion but now it came to about N6 billion,” he said. For Adeyemi still, the sum of N14 billion was indefensible in view of the current economic realities in the country. His words: “Now you are asking us to approve a total sum of about N14 billion and this is just the Vice President’s residence. To me N14 billion is huge for the Vice President’s house. If you are even talking of N10 billion, that would be understandable. The reality is that N14 billion is indefensible and that is our submission. “In Nigeria, there are still many people with empty stomach. So we have to look at budgeting in relation to the needs of the people.” Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Finance, Yerima Ngama and Commissioners of Finance from across the country have appeared before the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Loans and Debt to defend the external loan of $7,905.69 billion. The Medium-Term External Borrowing Plan (Revised) stretches between 2012 and 2014. Both the $1 billion proposed for the continuation of Federal Government Eurobond Issuance and $0.1 billion for Diaspora Bond are to be implemented by the Federal Government. President Goodluck Jonathan had recently sent a letter to the Senate, seeking its approval to borrow $7.9 billion for 2012 and 2014 pipeline projects. The request was consequently referred to the Committee on Local and Foreign Debt for further legislative consultations. Although the committee is yet to submit its report, its Chairman, Higie Ozamere, said the meeting with the Minister of State for Finance and Commissioners would give further clarification to specific projects under the pipeline projects, amount allocated to each state as well as projects reserved for the Federal Government. The chairman, however, frowned that in spite of the importance of the exercise, most commissioners failed to appear before the committee. He therefore urged the Minister of Finance to liaise with his colleagues across the federation to ensure they appear on or before Monday, December 11, to enable the committee finalise its report on the 2013 appropriation as stipulated by the Senate.
