The Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, has said poor management of resources rather than the lack of resources has been the bane of nations economy.

Proper management, according to Osinbajo, has been dodging the country for a while.

The problem is management of resources. If we plug the loopholes, youll see the resources being pooled together.

Osinbajo said this on Saturday at a parley with journalists at his campaign office in Victoria Island, Lagos.

He said insecurity would be the first thing his government would tackle as it affected every Nigerian irrespective of ethnic group, class or creed.

Security is the first duty of any government; you cannot fight a war where leadership is uncertain; where leadership is not sure of itself and its responsibilities.

The type of leadership we need to successfully fight a war is lacking. The commander-in-chief has responsibility for everything. You cant continue to say your enemies did this or that. Youve got to take responsibility and that is what is lacking in the current dispensation.

The people I talked to in my bus trips, both men and women asked, What are you doing about the Chibok girls? I was surprised that people here in Lagos could be that concerned. It shows everyone is concerned. My take is that as the president, you should visit these places, talk to them and let them see that you are doing something. And one of the things to be done is equipping the military.

Osinbajo added that corruption had become the norm in Nigeria, especially in the civil service.

Akinwunmi Ambode

The Lagos State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Akinwunmi Ambode, has alleged that the Federal Government owed the state N51bn.

Ambode stated that there has been no meaningful federal project in Lagos State since 1999.

He therefore urged Lagosians to vote for the APC at the governorship and presidential elections next year in order to make the state and federal governments to work in synergy for the progress of the state.

Ambode, who is a former Accountant-General of the state, said this during the 10,000-man March organised by the Ambode Youth Initiative in Lagos on Saturday.

He said, If you want heavy traffic on the Third Mainland Bridge to stop, ensure that the APC gets to the centre. They (Federal Government) dont allow us to make any meaningful changes on that bridge.

In the past 16 years, no Federal Government project has been done in Lagos. They owe us N51bn for all the projects that we have been doing on Federal Government property. I just need half of that money to make all the changes that we need.

The governorship candidate said, having worked as a civil servant for 27 years, he understood the workings of the state. He therefore urged the people of the state to vote for experienced people and not beginners.

He said he was a grass roots politician, adding that he had worked in the local government service for 10 years and was at various times the council treasurer in Alimosho, Somolu, Mushin and Ajeromi-Ifelodun local government councils before rising to become the youngest ever auditor-general for local government in the state.

He said he would ensure job creation in Lagos and improve security, which he stated was already being taken care of by the Lagos State Security Trust Fund.

The South East zonal spokesman of the All Progressives Congress, Osita Okechukwu, has commended members of the party in Enugu State for being the highest donors to General Muhammadu Buharis Support Fund.

Okechukwu, in a statement made available to journalists, explained that the fund, to which the masses can donate only N100, has so far garnered N54m.

Okechukwu told members of the APC in Enugu State that Buhari would remain grateful for their contribution, which, according to him, shows clearly that the celestial bond between him (Buhari) and the masses and the middle class is Pan-Nigerian and that Nigerians are earnestly yearning for regime change.

I commend my people for being a critical chain in the Buhari-Bandwagon-Vehicle for Salvation, so that tomorrow nobody can marginalize Ndigbo, Okechukwu added.

He noted that Buhari has 60 percent chance of winning the 14th February, 2015 presidential election, because, according to him, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the de facto campaign manager of General Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Okechukwu, Buharis election became imperative because Jonathan failed to guarantee the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens.

President Jonathan lacks neither the political will to stem corruption nor to fight Boko Haram, that is the GMB (General Muhammadu Buhari) appeal, even from unlikely quarters like South South and South East.

It is my candid view that our dear president wasted golden opportunity by failing woefully to fulfill the promises he made four years ago.

For instance on 13th May, 2010, he awarded a $23bn contract for the construction of three greenfield refineries; one to be located at Bayelsa, one for Lagos and one for Kogi five years down the line the money had grown wings and the refineries dead on arrival, Okechukwu said in the statement.

He noted that the failure to build the proposed refineries had resulted in the squandering of over N2trillion annually on importation of refined petroleum products, the devaluation of the naira, gross unemployment, collapse of the textile and ancillary industries, as well as a huge foreign debt profile.

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has slammed Governor Ayodele Fayose for refusal to pay workers their November and December salaries.

It said such is a deliberate insensitivity to the yearnings of workers to enjoy the end-of-year festivities with their families.

The party said it wasungodly for a leader to enjoy all the bliss that goes with Christmas while denying the people he leads their entitlements at the time members of their families look up to them for the yearly pleasure of the season.

But Fayose maintained on Thursday that he had paid workers their December salary, urging the APC to always cross-check its facts.

In a statement by its State Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, the APC recalled thatDecember 18 last year, all workers had received their salaries and Christmas bonus in addition to their leave bonus while pensioners were also paid.

He claimed that the governor grudgingly asked the banks to pay workers half of their salary on the night of December 24 after bitter complaints from workers.

It is evil for a leader to deduct N2,000 from the salary of each worker for the purpose of buying them Christmas gifts only to give not up to half of the workers a chicken smaller than a pigeon worth less than N800.

It is callous to take convention funds for the delegates of your party members on the guise that you are spending it for Christmas gift only for you to keep more than half of that money in your private pocket while your party members go hungry during this festive period, Olatubosun said.

The APC said the Ekiti people were suffering under Fayose with insecurity of life and property.
