Goodluck Jonathan ‘Ex-president gave PDP governors N2bn,’ Oshiomhole says

By -
Oshiomhole made the allegation on Thursday, April 28, 2016, after a meeting with President
Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja, Punch reports.
“We are very lucky to have President Buhari at this time. I have been here now for seven-and-half years and I have had the opportunity to work with three presidents, that is the truth,” he said.
“Under the last President, it would have been impossible for us to approach Abuja to give us support because we have personal challenges. We would have been given lectures on fiscal responsibility and all those kind of talks, even though the wastage was more here (federal level) than any other place at that time.
“We now have a President who recognises that he is not just President of the Federal Government, he is the President of the federation of which the states are part and regardless of our political affiliations.
“This is very important. Everybody is able to ask this President to give him support and he is giving, whereas in the recent past, some PDP governors got N2bn from the Ecological Fund. We the APC governors were not given but we promised to be different and I am happy this President is showing that difference,” he added.
Meanwhile, Buhari has expressed concern at the inability of some states to pay their workers despite receiving a Federal Government bail-out.

Progress certainly needs to be made to reduce attacks - be they sexual assault or robbery - but as that doesn’t look likely any time soon, learning self-defence is a wise move for women of all ages. Top British mixed martial artist Helen ‘Hellraiser’ Harper, who specialises in Jui Jitsu, believes all women should know more self-defence because it brings not only safety but confidence. “In my opinion, women don't have the confidence they should in life let alone in defence,” she told The Independent. “Learning to fend off an at
