Great, investigative thread by the one & only INDEFATIGABLE Barcanista.

All dem haters fit try pull you down but they not gonna succeed.

Chai, una see Ajimobi with 45 billion to chop for general administration

These governors have killed us finish

barcanista:
Because Kwankwaso has never been an apostle of it.

Another thing is, my estacode was only N15,000 and no security vote. Security vote anywhere is stealing. I don’t believe in it, I never applied it during my first tenure (1999-2003), and I don’t think I’m going to apply same now, in that the provisions aid corruption in the art of governance, I will like to lead by example and the moment you steal once, your subordinate will double your record.- Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso

barca so whats the way forward..who would save us from these animals called our leaders..by default people like akpabio,ameachi etc walk away with more than a billion per month and we have lots of nigerians suffering..what we need in this country is not an election but a revolution where the masses just kill every leader...because as it is these security votes are meant to continue and we have the same crop of leaders within the system...

barcanista:
@Those that may not understand. The so-called "Security vote" is an opportunity for Governors to enrich themselves. The FG statutorily fund Police and the armed forces, most of these monies end up in the pocket of the Governor and his friends. They do NOT ACCOUNT for security vote money, and they don't joke with it.

In other words, it's a defacto FREE money

No one but ourselves can save ourselves from leaders who were ordinary folks like all of us until they got into power starting as LGA Councillor.

And revolution is not the key as it simply replaces one bunch of thieves with another who are usually more clever in hiding their corruption while mercilessly killing any opposition. Evolution is much better as we have witnessed since 1999 but need to increase the tempo with greater debates and increased engagement of citizens in the political & governance process.

This man should have been the President of this country. Pa Buhari is too weak to put up a fight with the hawks that got him to power. Kwankwanso has done wonders in Kano, and to think he doesn't get this money is very very impressive.

I have been telling ppl for so long that there is no miracle buhari or anyone can perform with the current system of politics in nigeria. The problem isn't gej,tinubu or amaechi , the problem is the system of politics and society that produces these leaders. The leaders produced are the direct expression of the system and people. They are simply products of the system . And we are the system , as long as a governor candidate keeps spending as much as 6 to 10 billion just to win an election ,this sort of looting will continue ,as long as ppl keep collecting rice ,recharge card,fufu and 5000 to vote for candidates,these sort of looting will continue. This has nothing to do with party lines, apc senator and reps do collect jumbo pay packages with their pdp counterparts and they have never said it is too much. Politics in nigeria is a big time multi billion naira industry,where the amount u invest in will 90% determine how big your profit will be. During the last apc primaries in lagos ,delegates were given 5000 dollars each and some even collected more like 8000 dollars to vote for various candidates ,where did the money come from ?definitely from sources like this, Same with pdp also. So the solution is for the educated ppl to join politics and mobilise the grassroot against such practices or to start a pressure group which will be demanding for transparency and accountability from elected leaders. This security vote issue is just a minute tip of the ice berg, what about local govt funds and derivation fund

Look Below.... Dont Miss Out on It...

barcanista:
When it comes to sharing of money all politicians are tag team

barcanista:
See Rivers, Delta and Akwa Ibom own

Goodboiyy:


Actually all we need in Nigeria re good leaders, Thiefs re d ones ruling us, Checkout Delta 4 example, Lagos

IzonOwei:
serious tag team..just look at the NLC..instead of fighting for those in the labour market they are fighting for who leads because they want to steal...oh no...if only the teeming unemployed youths can pay them a visit and mob them... ...we shouldnt waste time with these thieves even if they are our parents...

omenka:
It is really heart breaking when one considers the opportunity costs of these security votes.

Not sure if this particular expenditure is covered under the constitution, I think the incoming NASS should do something about it. What exactly are they securing?? How many times has Kwankwaso died??

eaglechild:

I agree with you.

Kwankwaso would have been a better candidate.

barcanista:
You forget Rivers and Akwa Ibom?

NLC ke? We better think of a better political movement

IzonOwei:
how do we get it right?...since 1960 the masses have being raped incessantly... ....

Remind me again...

Why didn't this man run for presidency?

Image123:
Why did barcanista forget to tell us how much hero Goodluck Jonathan was paid monthly as security vote?

UnknownT:
A nice thread where APC and PDP supporters can at least FOR ONCE agree with Barcanista's research. To think that the states that are massively owing civil servants receive millions monthly. Kai!!!!!! Cc: lalasticlala

I swear down Zic, I didn't see your post before making my submission.

Good Morning
