BEFORE WE MAKE ANOTHER MISTAKE!!!

Eugene Aliegba

After my last post the resolve to continue the fight against lootery and second class leadership was strengthened because of the number of messages and emails from those who read these essays. Most of them were not what to term as savoury and complementary, however they were expected. Worthy to thank those who have supported our cause. Surprised to find volunteers who have decided upon themselves to furnish us information about these no gooders who have vowed to lord over us forever. We are ever grateful.

However the journey, its peril and gains are not the focal point of this expose but our desire to always educate the Benue youth whom we have vowed to stand by in our struggle enthrone competent leadership.

This is no witch hunt, neither is it aimed at blackmailing and tarnishing images. However it is high time we are made accountable for our actions and even inactions.

I have also noticed that many of those mentioned and will be mentioned have friends and hired pens and guns amongst the youth, spare us if your ox is gored. My last two subjects may have not taken the criticisms well and incited reactions and insults however we are not deterred.

At this junction we move to ask those who have antagonized every writing accredited to Benue League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (BLXG) and even called the league a phony group to tell us where we lied.

Is it a lie that John Timbee Tondo is a land grabber? Did we lie when we said he is costing the state a fortune on legal battles? Were we wrong when we said he doles out parcels of land as gifts to loyalists and his girlfriends/lays? On the whole, we ask if we were wrong to declare him corrupt, ill prepared and unfit to rule Benue?

Solomon Wombo

For you who criticized us for exposing the Wombo-Aliegba lootery ring and its plan to continue beyond 2015, did we lie? Did Aliegba not declare free for all fuel in Makurdi? Was the money from his 200 000 Naira a month commissioner salary or lecturer pay (remember he is acclaimed for drawing double salaries)? Did we lie when we declared him a failure in all ministries he handled? Could we be pointed to one he made any giant strides at?

I beg to ask also, who instigated the attack on Prince Simon Aondoana, a frontline gubernatorial contender? Sure tha answers are not far from Eugene’s homestead!

As it stand we now promise further that we shall not rest on our oars until mediocrity is gotten rid of and these two and a host of others whom some good Samaritans have submitted good information which are trying to verify, will face the court of public scrutiny. We may not have the power to imprison but we shall do our lot by exposing them and their cohorts.

Meanwhile, stay back and watch this space as we bring you details of how John Tondo instigated the settler/ visitor crisis in agboughl village, Makurdi; Details of why the proposed mega shopping complex (SHOPRITE) is yet to take off and details of his ministry's legal tussles.

John Tondo

You will also soon learn of Eugene Aliegba's irresponsibility as lecturer in Benue State University, his money hungry antics as lecturer and Dean Student Affairs. Surely his performance score card in all ministries he nearly ran aground and how his benefactor is, getting funds to facilitate their sinister plot.

Never again shall we be ruled by irresponsible leadership!

WHY ALIEGBA CANNOT RULE BENUE STATE

Dr. Eugene Tarkende Aliegba

WHY ALIEGBA CANNOT RULE BENUE STATE

Recent happenings concerning the spending spree and monetary recklessness by one of the Gubernatorial intendees to the Benue state government House has began to raise questions as to the source of such monies being flagrantly spent with reckless abandon.

Dr. Eugene Tarkende Aliegba has all of a sudden become a Father Christmas of some sort as after his exit from office based on a marching order from the state governor instructing all political and public servants in his administration to resign before contesting the forth coming polls, spending millions of naira on frivolities.

Information has it that only recently Aliegba had donated cars to youth whom he claimed were his youth coordinators but on closer look it was discovered that these coordinators were actually recruited for “arm jobs”, to bully and intimidate any opposing force to his bid.

Aliegba who before his recent financial form could hardly purchase a three bedroom in even the shanties of Makurdi is now in constant practice of declaring free-of-charge fuel and kerosene to anyone that cares to drink from his ocean of mysteriously discovered wealth ranging from one to ten litres.

It was recently gathered that the State governor, Gabriel Suswam, irked by this flagrant show of financial unruliness had summoned the former commissioner to his abode where he had warned him of continuous irresponsible show of affluence under the guise of politics.

Even as this may seem mysterious as to the source of such massive wealth, it is no longer news that the former university don is heavily backed by Local government funds courtesy of the Special Adviser Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Prince Solomon Wombo who is the sole financier of the Eugene Aliegba project.

This is an open secret as Wombo has even detailed his Personal Assistant, Hon. Job Tseagh to lead the campaign team which has just concluded a tour of all the 23 local governments of the stat, where they spent millions of tax payers money on traditional rulers and thugs in a bid to sell Aliegba’s candidature. Job has not hidden his boss’ association to the project as whenever he is encountered with questions concerning the governorship of the state he proudly in plural terms says “we are supporting our man, Aliegba” to continue the good works Governor Gabriel Suswam.

In the light of this it is disgusting that the office of the Special Adviser Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, has become the conduit pipe for siphoning of Benue’s common wealth to fund a ego fueled, financially

Prince Solomon Wombo

irresponsible campaign. This is even as the Bureau which has been tasked with local government administration, overlooking primary schools in the state has kept primary school techers at home for nearly 9 months under the excuse of lack of funds to pay the agreed minimum wage rate, while millions go to a lost cause!

We have gathered that Mr. Solomon Wombo in his capacity as office of the Special Adviser Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, has consistently deducted the whopping sum of Ten million naira each from the funds allocated to the respective twenty three (23) Local Governments in the State monthly. This has amounted to a staggering Two billion, three hundred million naira (# 2,300,000,000.00) for the period of our review between January and October 2013 solely for this purpose of planting the next governor of Benue state.

The Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs has surreptitiously relieved over One thousand Civil Servants of their jobs under the guise of limited funds to cater for their wages, however it remains very glaring for all to see that the wages being authorized have only been stored and now used to mock our sensibilities.

It will only be apt to say inform that after years of grappling in the dark it is rather unfortunate that the glimmer of light perceived to have appeared is soon to be put off by a looting lot who mean no good for us.

Also pertinent to ask is the question, do we want a looting governor to look after our wealth as a state? Where does wombo fall in all this equation if Aliegba finally wins? Won’t he be the pockets behind our treasury?

THE NEED TO CALL BENUE LAND COMMISSIONER TO ORDER

 THE NEED TO CALL BENUE LAND COMMISSIONER TO ORDER

A press statement by Benue League of Extraordinary Gentlemen on the need to Caution Hon. John Tondo over his land grabbing and mismanagement of the Land Ministry

PREAMBLE

1.                 Ladies and gentlemen of the press, it is with great joy, I receive you to this interface this day due to our respect of your partnership and devotion to the betterment of our dear Benue State.

2.       This statement has become quite expedient owing to the recent turn of events at the Benue State Ministry or Lands and Survey, where every land affair has taken a tupsy turvy trend aimed for a total collapse of our land administration system.

3.              Since the unfortunate resumption of duties at the ministry by Hon. John Tondo as commissioner it is knowledge in the public sphere that the disputes pertaining land acquisition have increased tremendously just as land pertaining communal issues.

4.              Most recently we are aware of the commissioner’s new gift package of juicy plots of land which have been seized or commandeered by his ministry and doled out to young girls and politicians as gifts.

5.              Also much to our disdain is the young commissioner’s insatiable quest to court trouble at all cost. It is no longer news that the proposed site for the construction of a shopping mall (SHOPRITE) has become an issue of controversy as the said commissioner had allocated land belonging to a prominent family in Benue after he had actually clandestinely acquired a piece of that for himself. This matter has already become an issue of meetings and settlements.

6.              He as constantly under the guise of town planning decided to confiscate lands belonging to well meaning Benue sons and daughters, including political threats , business men and even the religious converting them to his gift packages not minding the outcome such acts.

7.              We also are surprised as to the commissioner’s decision to jettison the Benue Geographical Information System project initiated by the former commissioner. This act we view as mischievous attempt to acquire land and not account for such as with this module as seen in order place where it has been put in place, can give land owners access to the status of their property.

8.       As youth concerned about our tomorrow, about a better Benue state we have been irked by this impending crash of administration in the ministry and have decided to state as follows:

a.     John Tondo desists from his popular land grabbing attitude and returns all lands to their original owners.

b.    That all who have paid his exorbitant C of O fees be given their certificates and taken to the said layout for acquisition of such lands.

c.      That the abandoned Benue Geographical Information System be relooked into with the aim of actualising this great developmental initiative.

d.    That the price per square meter as hiked by John Tondo for the payment of C of O be reviewed with immediate effect.

Long Live Benue League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Long Live Benue State

Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria
