Ben is merely trying to wash his hands off the project after collecting kickbacks. How can you nominate a project and blatantly refuse to give your people update on the project, only to push the responsibility to the MDAs.

Ben is his people enemy if that is the case

Majority of the response to this post is a pointer to how the APC returned to power.

Nigerians are mostly stupid.

Can the senator execute the projects he so nominated? No.

Can the senator award the contracts for the projects he nominated? No.

Can the senator bid for the contracts he nominated? No.

Is there a process that guides the awards of contracts in the MDA's ? Yes.

Does this "process" in any way, empower the the senator to nominate contractors for his nominated projects in the MDA's budget ? No.

From whose account is the contracts paid for, the MDA or the senator ? The MDA.

On whose budget does the nominated projects appear? The MDA or the senator? ? The MDA.

Please people.... Grow some sense.

I will personally grow one for you as I can see with the crap you wrote, you've gat no sense at all and I dont blame you for it. Having no Sense is a prerequisite for supporting PDP members

plaindealer:


Asking you questions about the projects you nominated is deception? You obviously don't know the meaning of that ord.

Sadly, you are a victim of your own political deception since you've quickly turned this into politics/APC this and that when in fact it's not.

Regardless of where the money came from, it's still your money and funds allocated to carry out the
projects that you yourself nominated to benefit your people so exactly what's your point?

You are basically saying you don't care and it's not your business if the projects you nominated for your constituency are never built and the money budgeted for the projects is diverted or stolen, you just don't care and you shouldn't ask any question or demand accountability from the MDA involved why they shortchanged you and your people.?

Is this not leadership 101?

Please don't get me wrong. I'm not in anyway saying or implying that the senator shouldn't be questioned as it falls within the purview of his oversight functions. But directing the question solely to senator is deceptive at best.

I believe due diligence on the part of tracka demands the same question to be directed to the MDA involved as the bulk responsibility for the projects rests with the MDA.

Insinuating that the senator doesn't care when he pointed out the politics in this question is in line with the deception we are all talking about.

You very well know that the motive of these deceptive questions is to make it appear that the senator being the nominator of the said projects, and with the catch that 50% of the funds have been released and with the docility of an average Nigerian , the first verdict would be that " ahh ,,Mr Bruce has collected 50% of the contract and stashed it away in an office in SilverBird." read 80% of the comments here, you'll see what I'm talking about.

My mention of the APC in this case, is in juxtaposition with the blame passing politics of our government. Nothing more. Please.

Anyways, we might be driving at the same point, but we are at parallel lines of perceptive understanding obviously.

Have a blessed week ahead .

Ben Bruce owns silverbird.he is a ceo.he cannot pretend to be barely literate like the rest of the jokers in NAN.nhe would have followed the progress of all silverbird projects, be it the galleria or the cinemas.

He cannot claim that he nominated a project and then took his hands off until day of delivery.

Unless he is a 100% hands off ceo which would explain why amcon has taken over silverbird

You seem to be un-informed.
I elect you because I believed you have what it takes to market our intrest at the center and GET THINGS DONE. you now get there and fold your arms allowing other organisation handle your business without as much as a followup.

Ben Bruce is a big liar. As a senator he is responsible for providing updates to his constituency by following up on all recommended projects.
The reason why he is not interested is because the money is not directly given to him...a control measure I definitly subscribe to.

Go and read Nigeria's constitution and enlighten yourself.

Very appropriate response.

Tracka is a very deceptive organisation fronting for the presidency. No legislator receives a kobo for any constituency project, their role is to nominate a project for their constituency, the project is then added to the budget and the ministry responsible receives the funds for those projects and excutes such.

If Tracka needs to ask questions, let them ask the ministry involved and not the senators

This is Nigeria, all of them know how they are doing it. That project has become an abandoned project forever. This is because every stakeholder has received his or her cuts

1. You are not implying that the Senator should not be questioned while at the same time faulting Tracka for questioning the Senator.

This is you being deceptive and trying to have it both ways with forced contradictions. If it is your belief that the Senator should be questioned and held accountable, then why keep going on and on about irrelevant issues?

2. Tracka is not a government/taxpayer-funded group or individual like the senator, the senator is a public official and he collects paychecks from us every month so he is accountable to the taxpayers/his constituency.

3. What you are doing is what public officials and their fans do in Nigeria when you question them or demand accountability, they turn everything into politics, tribalism and witchhunt just to evade and dodge.

Instead of throwing tantrums and refusing to be held accountable, he should have said I'll follow up with the MDA and the contractor and let you know the outcome because my people should not be shortchanged.

He should be working with Tracka to put pressure on the MDA and the contractor to get things done, but right now, they've abandoned the project and his people are left with nothing and the Senator care less, he's moved on.

Senators insist that they must have constituency projects, they fight against the scraping of constituency projects and at the same time they don't want to be questioned on the progress of the constituency projects..... funny enough some Nigerians support their position not to be questioned.
My own question is why do the Senators fight tooth and nail for constituency projects that they do not follow up on?

Stop disgracing yourself and keep silent you don't understand things.
Nigerian constitution does not teach you how to be a leader.
Take responsibility,
Be Accountable.
We're is that in Nigerian Constitution.
You are so dumb. Typical of a PDP member

Stop playing to the gallery. In all my comments here, I've never implied the Senator shouldn't be questioned but placed emphasis on the deceptive nature of the question by tracka. (they are two different perception. Don't define the two with one.)

I believe my take on this was further broken down in the 4th paragraph of my last comment (which you obviously chose to ignore "maybe because you want/like to argue", in which case, the 6th paragraph of my last comment (which you still ignored) comes in handy.

Good bye .

texazzpete:


At your age, you're turning a simple request for accountability and oversight into APC vs PDP. Is everything OK?
Why do you feel the need to shill for politicians who dont care about you?

And yes, this, attitude of partisan politics instead of focusing on good governance is a big reason why Nigeria remains the way it is today.

You need help. Go seek your relevance elsewhere.
