Telegraph, make una keep quiet, stop politicising this thing. That memo didn't meet standards of a memo for a contract for that amount of money.

Those who don't understand international best practices on how things work will begin to display their ignorance here.

Commenter here are either commenting based on hatred for Osibanjo or ignorance. Only a few actually love this country.

So in other words lets blame the attack on Prof. VeePee.

No wonder he was the first as usual to pay a condolence visit.

..but then what is his gain in all this.

Bluntemperor:

Yinmu and yeye de smell!
Don't mind OP and his slowpoke Telegraph papers!
-,if Amaechi- the Transportation Minister is so sure of himself,why can't he represents it now that Buhari is back on the seat,since then! When he was being given traditional oye,why did he not safeguard the Train up till now!
This rubbished talk can only happens in Nigeria as he is not ready to accept responsibility for a total failure under his watch!- how can you present a N3.7 Billions fior a Company that looks so bogus in its entirety,just because the President went on a journey,yet the same minister is going about as politician that wants to run for presidency!
- like El-Rufai,blaming the Security people, instead of them to resign,they clinge to their job.
Make nau no worry,it's a blame game and Nigerians are at their mercy!
Nonsense talk !

NOETHNICITY:
Our ipob folks will chop Osibanjo raw for the next 2weeks
They have never ever seen anything good about him

But if it was on ground of lack of credible history of the company they declined the contract, couldn't they simply have asked Ameachi to contract a much more experienced company. I think the bottom line is that they failed to see the importance of such a security project given that there never recorded such an attack before now.

There is really nothing good about the market moni criminal

Whoever is the proponent of this poorly put propaganda is dumb, unintelligent and not smart at all.
Even as a procurement manager in my company, these are things we consider before giving out contracts.
Do better please, mtchew

But they still had to drag igbos into the criminality and stupidity of their brother.... Afon.ja and wickedness sef

The kind of things we discuss in this country? Petty and foolish things. Only a miracle can save this country.

Blackblackbeaut:
So, the vice-president had no other place to hide than to ask: what brand? Now, ask yourself, of what relevance is that in the equation? None! The minister had brought many memos including the ones that approved the purchase of coaches and nobody asked for the brand. So, why ask for brand in this instance?

The person that asked this is very stupid and he must think everyone is stupid like him. Even a low level branch manager will ask for brand of a purchased equipment worth 100k let alone almost 4 billion

Sponsored report.

Don't fall for stupid write-ups like this.

Why didnt Osibanjo ask that another company with a stronger balanace sheet and history be forwarded?

Whenever you go to defend a budget and it is turned down with queries, it is the responsibility of the sponsor to represent with clarifications where needed.

As much as I liked Amaechi, he scored a low on this because he had several opportunities to re-present his proposal to council even many times that PMB presided afterwards.

Is this where they coming that they hired kaduna bandit to bumb the train so as to discredit Osinbade for his disapproval of a shallow rooted company. Both repairs of the train & the rail tracks are still Amaechi's "small chops". Amaechi is one of those taking full advantage of this unconscious reformatted Buhari that only signs every paper presented.

Don’t be fooled, that contract was outrageous, that’s why the VP struck it out. Security cam or nah, bandits would still have attacked that rail line. If bandits could hit an airport and army base that are meant to be secure, what are we saying?

Interesting country!

A company that has no 3 years TCC, one of the basic requirement to bid for a government contract. Turnover of under 10% of the proposed project and with no evidence of execution of similar projects.

The BPP guys who approved the company should be jailed.

If PYO had approved it, they would have come out to say he connived with the Organisation to steal. Now that he stepped down the approved company, not the project, they are out to say the tragedy happened because he didn't fall for their lies.

Wow! These sharks everywhere. Nigeria we hail thee.

Very apt! A generic solution would not suffice in the circumstance and asking about the brand was cool, at least that would have afforded the council members to double check by googling the brand. And we are talking 3+ billion here.

This shows that most requests are not vetted by the council because the scenario painted here should be routine practice.

Then where's the place for opportunity. Why are Nigerians complaining of China running the rail when Nigerians companies are there. Gee nothing is bad if ur first job is in billions. And the company was cleared bro and he stopped it. Now do we like the outcome?

LeoDeKing:
A company that was formed in the third quarter of 2019 and an annual turnover of less than 85m wanted to handle a project of almost N4B, who does that? 

Also, there is no track record of the useless company ever handling security surveillance contract.

Abeg Osinbajo na real star boy jor.

Nonsense and ingredients. 

qekng40:
So??

What's the propaganda

To paint Osinbajo as the Culprit and vindicate the FEC??

Abeg make una gerout!


FYI I will choose Osinbajo 10x for President instead of any of them in the FEC

The Zoo is not RCCG property! According to one from South West!

zicoraads:

I am not doubting that Ameachi made a request that was turned down. What I am doubting is this news report.

I know the minister and I know he is stubborn and forceful. Do you really think the VP alone is capable of stopping a contract that Ameachi really wanted? Ameachi that removed an NPA MD by going directly to the president, a woman who was an ally of El-Rufai?

God bless you for this piece.

only if you were a victim of that train attack. Then I will take you serious!

Osibanjo has no business being a V.P not to talk about President.

Now that same contract would be dusted up and awarded to the same useless company at a higher price maybe 30 billion naira.

Actually that's not his job.
Contractors bring their quotations and he choses the best.

Lol, please don't drag his church into this.

ARRANT NONSENSE!A COMPANY OWNED BY MAN,HIS WIFE AND PROBABLY THE SON TO HANDLE ALMOST #4BN CONTRACT THAT MUST BE PAID UPFRONT?YOU EXPECT OSINBAJO TO APPROVE THAT?A COMPANY THAT IS JUST 3YRS OLD?AMAECHI SIMPLY WANTED TO IMPLICATE OSINBAJO IN THE ABSENCE OF BUHARI!WHY DIDNT AMAECHI BRING BACK THE PROPOSAL TO BUHARI ON RESUMPTION

Comments like this are very injurious to the well being of this country. It is bad if your first contract job is in billions especially when there is no record of you handling a similar project in a specialized field.

This is the very reason why we have so many poorly executed jobs.

IamWonderful:
The rubbish is filled with lies, so #3.7 billion contract was supposed to be awarded to a company that have a turn over of less than 100 million by Amaechi ministry which suppose to executed from the ministry's budget that might have been approved already by the federal house of assembly and signed by the president, so Osibanjo has the power to give out such fund as a vice President?

Lol. They can only package this pile of poo for Nigerians because majority are ethnically, religiously and sectionally biased 'simps'.

Imagine Amaechi not being fired for securing the services of what is clearly another thieving company quickly cobbled together to procure contract they will then dishonour with cheap and substandard work.

Has that not been the bane of the development of Nigeria till date? Some DISCO companies are incapable of delivering today, to Nigeria's detriment, because they were never competent to begin with and did not deserve to buy the DISCO the ultra-corrupt and unprincipled Jonathan literally dashed them.

Exploiting Nigerians and using them to play kalo kalo is what the likes of Amaechi enjoy whereas the visionary Osinbajo want a permanent process of competence and quality in place that will obviously deliver premium finished goods and services so we then do not have to be duplicating efforts and cash outlay expensively and unproductively for Nigeria and Nigerians.

Amaechi is a fraudster and this is just the effort of his people and/or supporters to do damage limitation over news expose that shows Amaechi to be a crook.

A whole Minister fcking around with a dodgy company in this day and age where I can even find 10 well-qualified ones throughout the world online, with established history of competence, in 10 minutes. Shior.

AbujaCitiBlog:

Have you seen the leaked Memo? Have you?

Liars! Yoruba liars. You and your ilk should go and eat the dead bodies of those who died in that train blast. Evil people!

But Buhari approved it with immediate effect. Osinbajo is a betrayer!

who did osinbajo betray?

tollyboy5:
Amaechi wanted to cashout. He wasn't sincere awon werey

Confirmed werey people! Na Padi padi company he wan use cash out.

Na motion sensor kit or cctv camera go catch bandit?

Which police station for that Bush want risk their men to confront a motorized band of Ak-RPG-carrying bandits. Who wan die?

Who mess here ooo I dey smell fowl shit here hahaaaa 2019, 2020 haba conduit pipe to syphon our tax money through stupid and yeye rail security system. Amechiiiiiiii there is God ooooo

I am seeing the whole scenario from a different angle, what if the bombing came up in a bid to justify the presented contract that was turned down or as a means to backlash against those who supported the rejection of the contract? How can Amaechi expect such shady contracts to be approved without due process and proper scrutiny? We are talking about a prof that understands the way things should be done, not just some dick heads, who don't know their right from their left. They even asked him to represent the contract, and he could not.

Propaganda, what is the usefulness of the security equipment when bandit have explosive that can destroy train tracks from any part of the country

Let's face reality here; how can a company with a turnover of NGN84.9m be awarded a contract of NGN3.7b? Osibanjo did the right thing. Amaechi wants to cash out from the contact. In a sane clime, he is supposed to be investigated by the police. However, in Nigeria everything goesnand he has the guts to come out now and rant!

As much as I do not like osibanjo, I support him here. You don't just pay 4bn to a company with less than 100m naira turnover in 2 years and without a track record of engaging in such contracts. Amaechi is a rogue and should be tied on a pole on the street and flogged just the way they do in Ukraine.

This report was supposed to twist things and implicate PYO. But instead it paints PYO in very good light. It proves one thing - that he isnt a leader who just signs whatever is dropped on his desk without questions.

That BPP has approved a proposal is a very dumb reason for anyone to expect the president to just sign it off without question. Afterall, all the inflated and fraudulent contracts which have come to be traditional occurrences in Nigeria, the BPP also approves them.
