Can the nation newspaper write any damning article about Nigerian governors without mentioning Ogun state? All this propaganda against Amosun just because Tinubu wants to impose Yayi on the people of Ogun will fail. They couldn't even list the alleged white elephant projects in Ogun yet they joined Ogun there just to taint Amosun. SIA has done well and he is the leader of APC in Ogun state. If tinubu is desperate for Yayi to become governor then he can make him governor of Lagos after Ambode.

Lord, Governor of Lagos after Ambode

So the road construction from Ijoko to Agbado to Ajuwon to Alagbole etc is not an abandoned project right?

The specialist hospital made sense but bad management and inept politicians killed it. Nigerian's spend a billion dollars on medical tourism with 50% of the patients travelling to Europe, Asia, America and other parts of the world. If we captured 10% of that market share the hospital would be profitable. The fact is the didn't care anything about business case.

Entering Abuja for the first time by road from Lagos 5 years ago
Honestly I wept for my country
Abandoned and uncompleted structures littered every where
The ones I saw oo
How about the many others
Multiplied by 36 states
And we say we are poor

Spylord48:
Nigerian Governors are mostly criminals. Imagine Aregberascal want to build an airport a year to the end of his tenure..what he couldn't achieve in 7ys!!
That how most of them do, building white elephant projects that won't add any effects to the state economy. Asaba airport is there, yet I wonder how many planes land there week in week out yet almost all the roads in delta state are dead trap.
apart from Ambode all other governors are criminals or are we to talk of the one that build Christmas tree together with Zuma statue at almost a billion naira.
Fayose wants to build airport yet he couldn't pay workers salary or Yahaya Bello that prefers to use the workers salaries to recall Dino Melaye instead of paying them for their monthly sufferings and sweat.

I just Hop the eyes of the youths will open one day,by the time one of these rogues is used as a scape goat,others will buckle up a bit.

The Abeokuta-Sagamu N60 billion 10 lane is a good example of a white Elephant project.

Amosun needs to drop this "Gbogbo e la ma se" nonsense and focus more on completing the numerous road projects in Ogun State

As per, YAYI, Was Amosun not imposed by Tinubu? Osoba almost succeeded in frustrating Amosun out of the defunct Acn prior to the 2011 elections.

If at all there is any media war between Amosun and Tinubu... Then Expect Amosun to lose woefully... Amosun is too arrogant and he talk carelessly too. Tinubu has not even said anything about YAYI's ambition.. . Amosun has increased the Popularity of YAYI in Ogun state with his careless talks about YAYI being a lagos boy.... Is Amosun himself not a lagos boy? 80% of Amosun's Commissioners are from lagos but indigenes of Ogun state But in reality nobody cares as long as you deliver.

So you wey be Owu boy no gbadun your brother...

Where's the restructuring crowd to explain this. We all forget sometimes we have state assembly. The approval the budgets and sit quietly when all this nonsense happens. In spite of cheating their constitutes governors are rarely impeached.

Anyway the governors are tyrants in my opinion. They wield too much power. The first area is in local government then second in land. The only weird thing is why their no continuity in projects. The state assembly is made up of same people usually. Then in Akwa Iboms case the new governor is best buddies with old governor. Yet he's looking for new stuff to start without completing old stuff.

The Nation investigation in Abia, Rivers, Niger, Ogun, Plateau, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom states revealed that the projects, abandoned at different levels of execution, are left to rot away, even as some of them now harbour criminals, reptiles and other dangerous animals. Most of the projects, we learnt, were initially financed through loans, some of which are still being paid or serviced by the affected states.

Oga op I'm still waiting for that of ogun state.

Yes, SIA has done well but not perfectly well, as you are trying to make the people outside of Ogun State think. Which of his model schools (white elephant project) is functioning today? Tell the people. And why do you think someone will impose anyone on any Ogun people, if you're not indirectly telling us SIAs plan? OGD said Ogun people are gullible. Is this what you're trying to tell the word? If not stop accusing Tinubu wrongly, not until you show us a prove where he told you he's gonna impose any Yayi or whatever

It is an open secret that politicians steal but what can we do to stop them? There are missing funds announced daily on tv and mass media's but what have we done with that information? We should Grab the future now. Stop complaining and mobilise people to take back Nigeria

I've been saying this for years on nairaland.

Great job Nation corespondent. If all the journalists organisation ready to hold the Zoo politicians in elected offices in their necks and pricks to start completeling any project they initiates in their four years tenure, the zoo republic will never remain the same.

They are preparing again to unleash another lies and fake promises for 2019. All previous promises and lies they made are yet to fulfill.

Remember: campaigns goodies comes with consequences after the elections.
