Lagos Treasury Loot: Acn Tinubu Storms America With 57 Lagos Lg Chairmen” by mamikky: 1:58pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu really lived up to expectation as leader of a strong opposition party in Nigeria when he stormed Chicago and Washington in the United State of America recently with strong delegation of his party (Action Congress of Nigeria). During the visit, he was a key speaker at a forum on True Federalism in Nigeria in Chicago where a book was also launched. Also in attendance was world famous Reverend Jesse Jackson. A day later, Tinubu bagged an honour, and after few days visit was made to White House in Washington to meet series of committee on development and strengthening of democracy in Africa. Aside all these, what many people did not know however was; how large was the delegation that was in America to lend moral support to Asiwaju Tinubu. Prominent among the list of his entourage was; Oyo State governor, Abiola Ajimobi; Ekiti state governor, Kayode Fayemi and Osun state governor, Omoluabi Rauf Aregbesola who breezed in and out of the country because of other pressing matter in Osun This magazine exclusively gathered that the company (name withheld) that was responsible for the package of the trip and the lecture had requested that all the local government and local council development areas chairmen be compelled to attend the event. A letter to the Lagos Ministry of Local Government however got approval, mandating payment of N4.5million as participation fee to the company. The charge include return ticket, accommodation and capacity building tour of the United States. Some of the local councils that could not afford the money as we were told were debited against their monthly JAAC. In total, about N288million went into the consultant’s purse for celebration of ‘True Federalism’ in America. As at last week, none of the chairmen is yet to return to the country while officials in councils say they expect their chairmen to start arriving this week. During one of the fora in America, it would be recalled that the Oyo state governor, Alhaji Ajimobi had called on scrapping of local governments from the constitution to pave way for rapid development in Nigeria. http://www.newsofthepeople-ng.com/?p=627 |

Corruption commercialized, if ACN Tinubu can be doing this in Lagos and other ACN states for which he has hold, then what will happen on a large scale nationwide if the party is privilege.........Absolute corruption, yet he keeps casting the Govt without removing the mote in his eyes 2 Likes |

TINUBU would be the worst leader if given the opportunity again. We all know that as a Gov, he didnt do anything. The records are there. We thank God that Fashola came and cleaned up his mess, giving ACN a face lift. TINUBU na scam |

America is playing a shady game for recognising tinubu as a political bigwig in nigeria.I am very sure Obama does have a hint of this,if not i will lose my respect for him. What they are saying to nigerians is that it is cool to be a political thief and traitor like tinubu.But like all true nigerians know,the only people that can solve nigerian syndomes are nigerians themselves,not some imperialists. |

Haba! Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, this is not good at all. This is another level of corruption, tax payers money meant for state infrastructure and development, this is highly unethical and uncivil . In fact u have done worse than pdp, even at the state level. |

Hilarious! What beats my imagination is the way in which the Party hammers on internal democracy, devidens of democracy, and so on, but within them, they are bunch of thieves. For instance, what is the essence of going with almost all south west Govs to US? Remember that each Gov will also go with his aides, advisers, and security personnel. It didn't end there, local Govt chairmen too? Haba! And these council chairmen were forced to embark on th trip. Is this internal democracy. I feel TINUBU will make the worst leader if made a prominent national figure. |

If Obama sees good in that fellow called tinubu it also means he is also guilty of the same corruption. Obama should follow the foot steps of Desmond TuTu who refused tony Blair and bushe's invitation because of their invasion of Iraq. otrightly telling them that their actions were wrong. |

While it has been made obvious that a letter to the Lagos Ministry of Local Government got approval, mandating payment of N4.5million as participation fee to the organizing company, which included return ticket, accommodation and "capacity building tour" of the US, how come the delegation went there to lend "moral support" to Asiwaju Tinubu? The support is so "moral" to the extent that local councils that could not afford the money were debited against their monthly JAAC. In total, about N288million went into the consultant’s purse. Oh what a moral support! |
Re: Lagos Treasury Loot: Acn Tinubu Storms America With 57 Lagos Lg Chairmen” by BeraBera(f): 12:25pm On Sep 06, 2012 |
Maybe the company that was responsible for the package of the trip belongs to one of the ACN chieftains. That may be the reason why the name was withheld in the report. In that case, they have further enriched themselves with the money meant to be used by the LG chairmen to better the lot of the masses. |

I just can't believe this nonsense,this is clearly unforgivable,if TINUBU were to be in China when we returns he will be pelted with stones for wasting public.I use to admire the ACN but sincerely I am highly disappointed,I think the EFCC should visit him for extravagance. |
