@Godfrey_OC@JamesOnyii07@winexviv It’s been common knowledge that nobody has attempted to defend the current administration without sounding ridiculous. Best to just ignore the funny ones.
@trigottista The error in the Nigerian system benefits the majority of the elite so they would do everything to fight against any attempt at correcting the artificial issues.
@NewsCentralTV This is the type of thing you see when you have people who lack the temperament of a good leader in positions of public trust. Indeed, he might mean well, but his presentation is excessively poor. No tact!
@mikeachimugu01 An acceptable, healthy airline targets an 80% or higher on-time rate. In Nigeria, on a scale of one to ten, what point or rate of delays is unacceptable and should warrant sanctions, all ten?
Burnaboy drove out of the club at 6:30 am as young men run around the car to beg for money.
This is 6:30am. On a Monday morning.
Yet these are young men who are not in school, not doing any work, but hanging around a club to beg.
This is a mad country.
@nazzaokonkwo@grok when naira value at the time of investment is compared against the current exchange rates, do you reckon any of the investors made gains?
Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy
My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.
We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.
The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.
The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.
It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.
If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO
