POLITICS: BUHARI OFFICIALLY KICK-OFF HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IN PORT HARCOURT..
POLITICS ARE MEANT FOR WE LIARS...SAYS GOV. ALIYU BABANGIDA
Aliyu Babangida, governor of Niger state says that to
survive in the political scene of today,you must be a liar! The Governor stated this while inaugurating
the PDP gubernatorial campaign committee in Minna the state capital yesterday
January 5th:
"If you cannot lie, get out of politics. Anything you are involved
in has its own rule. You are in politics to win, win first and let other things
follow. Don’t be the one crying louder; lest you will be the one they will
take to court. If you are talking of honesty or morals, go and become an Imam
or pastor. Politics cannot be the way it used to be.
"The challenges are more now, the variables have changed, the
issues that we are going to face in 2015 are different from the ones we faced
in 1999 and we must bear this in mind. Our society is not as grateful as it
used to be, the values and morals have gone down. If you want to win, use the
modern morality. We have worked for the people. Politics is not about sadaka
(giving alms), politics reminds people of what you have done. Go out and remind
the people of what we have done.” he said
JUNE 12 (1993) THE DAY MOST CREDIBLE ELECTION WAS HELD....SAYS IBB
General Ibrahim Babangida, former Military Head of state, in an
interview with EFCC's internal correspondence "Zero Tolerance" talks about the perception that his government institutionalized
corruption is incorrect and many more enjoy the excerpt:
"Let me tell you something, maybe you have a hand in it. I have
been the most investigated President Nigeria has ever had. By now, somebody
should have come forward to say here it is. Every government that came after me
investigated me because of that perception as they wanted to retrieve the
billions I stole. Well, we had different approaches. I think my government was
able to identify corruption-prone areas and checked them. If you remember in
this country, there were things they call essential commodities. These are also
sources of corruption. You go and buy Omo or food or whatever it is and we got
government to take its hands off such activities. Let people use their own
brains, hands and labour, nobody has to do it for them. So we did but I am
proud to say that was much more effective. I don’t have the facts but if what I
read in the newspapers is currently what is happening then I think we were
angels” he said
.....the perception that his government
institutionalized corruption is incorrect:
"Yeah, I know. Maybe I have to accept that but anybody with a sense
of fairness has no option but to call us saints. I give you an example, in a
year I was making less than $7billion in oil revenue. In the same period, there
are governments that are making $200billion to $300billion. With $7billion, I
did the little I could achieve. With $200billion, there is still a lot to be
achieved.”he said
On the $12.4billion oil windfall from the 1991 Gulf
War which many believed was stolen by his government, Babangida insisted the
money was not stolen.
“First of all, that war lasted three months, about ninety something
days. It didn’t last up to a year. So get the facts straight. Secondly, the oil
price at that time was below $18 per barrel. So, there is no way you could make
$12.4billion in three months. We could not have made that amount of money but
Pius Okigbo knew what he was doing. He had brains and he said between 1986 or
1988 to 1994, monies accrued to the Federal Government at that time was about
that money you are calling windfall. He said so. It is there in his book. Then
the other thing he said, the monies could have gone into generative investment.
I am not an economist but I have an understanding of what this is. Our argument
then was if you have the money, why keep it and be looking at it when you have
a lot of things that will benefit the ordinary man. So that money was not
stolen. It is what you see now in the country. Thank God most of the
infrastructure we put in place are what you are using today and proudly so.”
....... gains from the oil boom:
“Abuja for example, I built Abuja. Today, we have a brand new capital.
We used that money. I gave you a Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos. You cannot
build it now for all the money Nigeria is making. And what did it cost me?
N500million, N600million, N700million. For the first time, a dual carriage way
was seen in the Northern part of the country between Kaduna and Kano and then
linked it up from Abuja. You cannot afford to do it now; you cannot even afford
to touch it because there are a lot of competing needs.”he said
........ the annulment of the June 12 election :
"Yes, it (June 12) is a day in the history of Nigeria
and the day the most credible election was held. We gave you a lot of reasons
but I understood the passion. At that time, everybody was fed up. The sentiment
was: just pack your things and go. Our thought process is very limited.
First of all, on June 23, 1993, I was on the air and I told Nigerians why we
had to do what we did but I was sensible enough to know that whatever I said
nobody was interested. So, the important thing is get out.”he said
.......On how he built his Hilltop Mansion in Minna:
“I cannot estimate because it has appreciated. I know what my friends
spent. No, my friends contributed. They were friends before we came into
government and friends while I was in government. I started building it in
1991, took two to three years so that by the time I finished, I would have a
house to sleep in.”
COMEDIENE LEPACIOUS BOSE SHOW OFF HER 'LEPA' BODY!!!
