Too many lies for APC to resolve. FROM 10 DAYS TO 14 DAYS, THEN TO —- While the country burns, the President in “good health condition” is enjoying himself in London, where he has turned into a tourists CENTRE, draining Nigeria!!!
Whatever the reasons are for the extension of the President’s brief holidy in the United Kingdom being entitled to make a change in his day of travelling, for goodness sake in your deliberations when he returns finally in Nigeria, call for my ‘New’ political leadership solution for Nigeria submitted to both the (SGF) and the Senate President’s office on the 2nd February 2015 personally having traveled from Enugu to ABUJA by road on-route to London and study it carefully along with an experienced psychologist! You are using my ‘Option A-4’ and all the adjuncts including the finger/ name reader-machine contained on page 161 of my 752 paged book – “How to get at your government and influence it!2 not paid for also yet! You will see the need for the so-called Dangote’s concrete cement road idea passed or discussed with the Ministry of Works and Housing and the Presidency as far back as 1983 through to 1988 including my report back to the Ministry my findings on Lagos- Ibadan highway in their files obtained for them on their instructions! You may discover that none of these have been paid for and we are talking about corruption and forthright leadership for country – Nigeria! I am sure you’ll be amazed also to learn that copies of my book where ‘Option A-4’ was lifted (on pages 42/3) was handed-in/ deposited @ the School of Inter. policy and strategic studies, Kuru – Jos was not paid for also! Perhaps a log onto;www.virgo-enterprised.com can tell you the whole story instantly at your leisure time! You will see names listed include Dr. Zik, Dr. Pius Okif=gbo, Prof. Wole Soyinka, Dr. Alex Ekwueme, Prof. Jerry Gana, Chief Cani Fawehinme,(SAN and late) even MKO Abiola (late) OBJ and a host others like Fmr. Senate President Ken Nnamani – I don’t want to name other as it maybe very embarrassing seeing that what (the crime) I discussed with them how to curb it in Nigeria we are still grappling with it in the country!
They should study my new leadership solution and get the problem solved once and for all and president Buhari’s name will remain indelible in Nigeria’s political history having dealt with the canker-warm corruption and the leadership imbroglio for Nigeria!
We will review and take appropriate action.
