They just can’t stop lying and denying truths vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
As the Buhari administration draws us and itself to a dreary close this month, one is simply amazed at the increasing demonstration of contempt for the Nigerian people by government officials – Ministers and Special Advisers alike. Fish naturally rots from the top.
Any discerning reader would have noticed two acts of deliberate corruption revealed to the whole world by Ngige. But, just in case Professor Osinbajo does not know, permit me to spell them out. Ngige was proved to have participated in rigging an election and for diverting state funds into private pockets. Two questions naturally beg for answers.
In that report by VANGUARD, we learnt about “a huge drop of power supply from 4000MW to 2039MW.” Neither 4000MW nor 2039MW, for a country with population approaching 200 million, is not only disgraceful but each reflects how little progress had been made since October 2015 when Fashola took over. He reminds me of Chief Bola Ige’s misadventure into the same Ministry under Obasanjo.
Instead of fixing the power sector, Mr Fashola recently launched a book, undoubtedly designed to “prove” to us that things are not as bad as we think; that we should be grateful for the stewardship. Speaking as someone who keeps a meticulous record of fuel consumption, I can authoritatively declare that, what is supplied on the average today is not in any way an improvement on 2015. The timing of the book could not have been more unfortunate for the authors and the Minister.
One, even the best-conducted census results is a figure with varying degrees of accuracy. Nobody bets his life on any specific figure. Thus, 200 million, rendered with two and half per cent decree of variation implies that the actual, which could never be known could run as low as 195 million or as high as 205. Both the UNPFA, 201 and the NPC estimates fall within that range.

Why Dr. Ngige Can’t Treat That Headache By Azu Ishiekwene | Sahara ReportersIt’s hard for Ngige to understand that the world has left him behind because he’s too distracted by politics, including a needless fight with one of the icons of Labour Frank Ovie-Kokori, to face his job. It was clear from his body language that he was not prepared for the question. He should just have taken a pass, but the clown in him won’t let him.
