The price is fixed internationally, the quantity is known,
just to add up and tally. They say it is $20 billion that is
missing, some say $10 billion. Should one dollar be
missing in any responsible government? So, that is why
corruption and accountability remain an issue in the next
election.

“If a government at the state level that collects one over
96 percent, because what the state gets is what the 36
states and Abuja share, nine percent of the total
revenue. And they can do this kind of road and all the
red roofs that I have seen, imagine what will happen if
you have a president and vice president that cares,”
Fashola said.

“I need you to connect with this election. There are no
miracles in development. It is about planning, it is about
commitment and honesty. It is about judicious
application of resources. PDP’s only resolve is to steal.

After 16 years of PDP, Nigerians have no water, no light,
they are still using generators. In the name of
privatization they handed over electricity in Edo to their
friends. They are collecting money from you without
providing light.

that we will not be able to do .That is why the coming
