EXPOSED: Jonathan Orders Sanusi To Resign Over His Letter; Sanusi Says No

Sycophancy is the problem that has kept Nigeria backward all these years, it's so bad that no one can dare to challenge the President even if he is wrong. Sanusi Lamido has said such can't happen in the CBN:

As you read this, President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered CBN Governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi to resign immediately on the grounds that the letter Sanusi wrote to him on the unremitted $49.8 billion oil money to the Federation Account was leaked to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo by Sanusi himself.

But Sanusi said all that is cheap politics and vowed that Jonathan can't force him to resign because based on the constitution of Nigeria, he could only be removed from office by two-thirds of the Senate.

Jonathan called Sanusi on phone but he was shocked as they had a heated exchange...
According to THISDAY, the president had called Sanusi and accused him of leaking the letter to Obasanjo, which enabled the former President to use it as one of the many allegations he levelled against Jonathan in his letter titled: “Before It is Too Late”.

EXPOSED: Jonathan Puts N1.8b in Budget for Project Obasanjo Paid & Completed In 2006

President Goodluck Jonathan is asking the National Assembly to appropriate about N1.8bn this year (2014) to help connect his home state of Bayelsa, to the national electricity grid, but this request suggests that some 'Ogas at the Top' only want to pocket the money, secretly.

Exposing the BIG fraud, an officials of the Ministry of Power said they were “stunned and amused at the claim from the presidency which is obviously an afterthought. It is not true that the Bayelsa transmission line needs an upgrade. If it’s an upgrade, why didn’t they say so in the budget? Why was it presented as a totally new project?” the official queried.

These revelations are shocking as the project was fully paid for by Obasanjo. Continue...
PREMIUM TIMES investigations into the proposed project reveal that President Jonathan is asking money for projects that have been completed seven years ago (during the administration of Olusegun Obasanjo), and that were all fully paid for in 2006 when he (Jonathan) was the governor of Bayelsa State.

In the 2014 Federal budget recently presented by the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, toNational Assembly for consideration and approval, the government lists as priority, the need to connect the state to the national electricity transmission network, but this shocking blunder is drawing attention to the absence of project monitoring and evaluation principles in policy making under the current administration, and the shabbiness that attends to budget preparation.

When contacted, the Special Adviser to the President on Power, Beks Dagogo-Jack, could not explain how the provision found its way into the budget, but claimed the issue might involve some complicated technical explanations only the bureaucrats at the Federal Ministry of Power could make.

PREMIUM TIMES investigations reveal that such provisions, that many federal crime investigators are familiar with, are some of the several fraudulent financial requests smuggled into budgets to steal public funds.

The Special Adviser to Bayelsa State governor on Power, Olice Kemenanabo, on Tuesday, confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that Bayelsa State was indeed linked to the national grid more than eight years ago.

The Director General, Budget Office of the Federation, Bright Okogwu, demanded a text message enquiry when contacted Thursday. He did not respond to the enquiry as at the time of publishing this report on Saturday.

However, the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, insisted Friday night the N1.8billion request is not fraudulent.

“It is true contract connecting Yenagoa to the national grid was awarded in 2006,” Mr. Okupe said in response to a PREMIUM TIMES enquiry. “It is a 2x40MVA station connecting only Yenagoa. That voltage is far too small to cater for the needs of the state.

Bill Gates Exposes Facts That Jonathan is Failing in Electricity

Despite all the claims by President Goodluck Jonathan and his men that a lot is being done to improve power and other critical infrastructure, the world's richest man, Bill Gates, has just released a shocking fact that they are just lying and deceiving Nigerians, as usual. Bill Gates has assisted Jonathan on several issues, so no one can claim that he is one of Jonathan's so called enemies.

Imagine, according to the above graph, Nigeria is 3rd poorest in Africa in terms of growth in electricity. Even Below Average.
