Imagine given a cultivated land, free fertilizer and equipment to farm.Then during harvesting period the same state government will buy your crops and pay you off. Omo This man is actually doing these things in Niger state. God bless him and his associates
He likely took all the wrong decisions all through his tenure then, going by this disclosure! At least we had a sitting Ogun State Attorney General who could have rendered advice on the contracts. Prof Osinbajo the former VP was within his reach. And so many other legal illuminati from Ogun State. Amosun has no excuse whatsoever. There was also a State Chapter of the Nigerian Chartered Institute for Purchasing and Supply Management that has the resources to conduct a thorough supply chain review of the contract. He had all these human resources and failed to use them, but now…

The verdict of the court followed a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/275/2021 filed by Sesugh Akume, an activist, against the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The ruling bears particular significance for Kano State, where the Islamic police, known as Hisbah, have been known to seize and destroy alcoholic beverages as part of their efforts to combat social vices.

state commissioner who is either not stealing money or isn’t stealing enough money, couldn’t afford a return ticket for himself and his spouse from Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Airport to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja to attend his state governor’s daughter’s wedding.The return ticket pricing of N400K each is way more than his monthly salary, and if you add two days hotel accommodation, feeding and local transportation, would be over the roof for the gentleman. So they resorted to charter a GUO Transport Ltd’s Toyota Sienna vehicle from Awka to Abuja instead, and unfortunately were kidnapped along the way in Kogi…
2026 is still far away that only God will determine who gets there. The cacophony of public dissonance against the ambitions of some gladiators in Oyebanji’s government is already threatening the much applauded programs of the regime. Why I concede that it is the fundamental right of anybody to aspire for any office but such ambition must not be driven by the position one occupies in trust for the public.
