My problem with the good governance tour is that Labaran Maku was asking the governors to fund their expenses for the tour running into millions of Naira. Since he is the one who wants to inspect the projects, his ministry should have provided the money for the tour instead of asking money from the governors.If a governor pays them the millions they are asking for the tour and during the tour they are able to see that the governor is not performing what will they tell the public? Since the governor sponsor their tour they will surely praise him even though he is not doing well. That is why i dont believe the good governance tour, it's just a jamboree. Truly, i dont need any tour for me to know if my president or governor is performing. I dont need any tour for me to know that the federal government is currently repairing the lagos apapa expressway,I dont need any tour for me to know that the federal government is repairing the railway system likewise i dont need any tour for me to know that lagos state government is massively constructing road in Ikorodu,okota Ejigbo etc. I dont need any tour for me to know that lagos state government is providing clean and portable water in Agodo Egbe where i live. still i dont need the tour to tell me that the minister for Aviation is really doing very well.They all have their publicity departments whose duty it is to tell the public what they are doing and it's for the public to agree with them or not. I dont believe in attacking individuals but i believe in what i see. whether Jonathan or Fashola, whether PDP or ACN none of them is saint all i want is good governance and if you are found wanting you will meet us at the poll in the next election. 1 Like |

take dat: The governments of Borno and Yobe also asked Maku not to visit their respective states, and they are not ACN governors! Leaders not keeping to their word isn't strange, after all, some people are accusing the president of the same thing! Adhering to a Gentlemanly agreement is not constitutional, so is the NGGT! I can't say I'm suprised about Yobe state. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to show there, xcept Islamic extremism, tonnes of almajiris, and madrassas. But the state cannot stop the Good Governance Tour from visiting and inspecting FG funded projects there. 'same goes for Borno state. 1 Like |

Its bad enough that they are been paid DTA' from tax payers fund for the jamboree, but to forcefully shove it down our throats is a No-No! It has been clearly stated in different posts that the Good Governance Tour was not imposed on anyone. So why the fuss? And please do tell, how's it being forced down your throats? |

A-ZeD: So, the repairs of our road networks and other transport systems used to haul tonnes of goods and millions of Pax, the construction of new power generation plants, substations that power our homes and businesses, and other major projects highlighted during the GGT are all waste of money, abi? Btw, if you have an issue with the road outside your home, blame your state governor or LGA chairman, not the FG. |
Re: Lagos Was Party To National Good Governance Tour Agreement by Nobody: 3:39pm On Mar 01, 2013 |
[color=#990000][/color]Y'all shouldn't worry just yet, it's when the GGT visits Lagos you'll all know that the current Oshodi-Apapa exp way project, the flyover @ cele b/stop, the repair work at 3rd mainland bridge, Ikorodu exp.way road and lighting project, Lagos-Badagry exp way road and rail project, turnaround modification of Lagos Island CBD, the remodelling of the Airports in Lag and current construction of a New Airport & Sea port in Ibeju Lekki, and many more as all FGN projects, that's when y'all will ask what more Uncle Fash is doing. Even the state Sucurity outfits and gadjets are being funded by FG, Banks, Oil $ Telecomms companies, Hotels and many private individuals like u and I in the LSSTF. Well, whether he likes it or not, the GGT is still coming to Lagos and there's absolutely nothing he or anyone else can do about that, 'cos the last time I checked, Lagos state is owned by Nigerians and the FG, not by the clo.wns in CAN or is it APC now.

FASHOLA SHOULD FORGET THAT RUBBISH OF GOOD GOVERNANCE TOUR JARE..... Jonathan may or may not have signed any pact with his co-devils, frankly I don't give 2 hoots because it wouldn't matter in the larger scheme of things if we have an alternative opposition who do a thorough grounds work and build proper democratic institutions within their party. As it stands there's nothing pointing to any smidgeon of difference ideologically between the APC and PDP. All are a bunch of self-serving-power-seeking bandits hoping to feast from the electorate apathy for the ruling pdp. Ask yourself these simple questions: How accountable are the present opposition memebers in both houses to their constituencies? Some only go back on the eve of another election! When monies are being shared by the ''corrupt pdp'' in both houses, do these righteous ACN/CPC people not take part? 3 Likes |

While they put up an innocent look to stylishly cover up their antics the underlying reason for their affiliations is not far from the divide and rule syndrome which creates an environment for the corruption to thrive. Way forward ? The people themselves should decide if they would continue the status quo with nothing to show for their tribal affiliations, a situation in which successive politicians continue to take advantage of the populace, in each case silencing them with cash or threats, to the point that the people have developed thick skins and would not be bothered with what is happening as long as they are not involved directly. They would rather buy a generator, instead of holding the government responsible for power generation. or Decide to take their destiny into their own hands by voting for the right candidates. while in the case of Nigeria, everyone would profess to be saints until proven otherwise and it is a risky business to trust an untested hand, it is a better alternative. Because the present crop of politicians in this country are involved in corruption in one form or the other. while the tour is a great idea which could improve the awareness and educate the people on different projects in the country, it has been taken over by sycophants whom are hell bent on taking the glory for themselves, this is evident in the inclusion of the pictures of innosson in the tour itself. A project which is owned by a private individual. It baffles me why the government would want to take glory for basic projects like good roads and educational facilities, like they are doing us the people a huge favor by approving such projects. Fashola has done the right thing expected of any man that has his integrity at stake. |

Re: Lagos Was Party To National Good Governance Tour Agreement by dammytosh: 9:23pm On Mar 01, 2013 |
thelastPope: One big reason for this brand of roforofo politics Fashola and ACN are practicing is that Nigerian politics is not based on ideology but on regional interests. In an ideology based political system, states do not make themselves competitors of the central government. Instead, they collaborate with the central government to deliver good governance and development to the people. Their difference is always in their core beliefs of how society should be structured and run, not on good governance and development. By now, what we should see are state governments moving in sync with the FG on Agric, Power, Education and the Rail system. God bless you. They see everything as fight between APC, OPC and PDP. The nation can not move forward. Personally i don't give a hoot about any party. Present a credible candidate and i will vote for him. We quickly condemn PDP yet, APC is extending hands of fellowship to acclaimed corrupt and clueless PDP Governors. Who is deceiving who ? What i see is that some people are desperate to have unrestricted access to the Presidency and will do anything to achieve that. |

He makes Abacha look competent. Imagine last year alone nigeria earned $100 billion .with the 60/40 arrangement that is $60 billion for the federal government.can you point to anything significant that this goodluck has added to the country . the Lagos light rail project and eko Atlantic trumps all his achievement. even the Abuja light rail project is yar adua's. the only thing he has done is to patch road and tenure elongation attempt.calling him incompetent is giving incompetence a bad name.okonjo iweala , will then assault our senses with tales from her worldbank neo liberal agenda. These idiots removed fuel subsidy now they want to tax fuel at the pump.a federal government with no responsibility at all. No more taxes from yoruba land to pay rotten corrupt bastards.it is a fact 75% of electricity bills is collected in the southwest. In most other part, energy bills either not collected or remitted at the same level,90% of vat,over 90% of import,custom and excise duty.it is times like these that I feel the pains of the people of the south south. However their elites are probably the worst of them all in terms of corruption. Nigeria is in need of a real leader. A leader of men. |
