Contrary to some reports that a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting of September 24, 2021, turned down a proposal for security equipment for the Abuja-Kaduna rail line, the Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, not the FEC, actually turned down the proposal for reasons not unconnected to personal ambition in 2023.

A September 24, 2021 memo by the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, was deliberately leaked some hours ago, to dispute claims by the minister that he warned the particular FEC of the implications of standing down his memo, because the consequences might be grave.

Some of the reports from the leaked memo, had quoted a source, which claimed that, “We had doubts about the capability of a company, which was formed less than two years prior and had no track record of handling a contract of N3.7bn or a contract on surveillance systems. The company was also to be paid upfront. Our investigation pointed to a conflict of interest,”

The report, which quoted a top presidency official, noted that the minister, in his presentation, stated that the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), had reviewed the process of procurement and given a certificate of no objection for the contract, adding that the project would be funded from the N71.4bn budget of the ministry.

“The minister subsequently asked the council to ‘approve the award of contract for the procurement and installation of electronic surveillance system and interrogation unit on the Abuja (Idu)-Kaduna (Rigasa) 200km railway monitoring rail intrusion detection system and emergency response system in favour of Messrs Mogjan Nigeria Limited/Cagewox Dot Net Limited in the sum of N3,780,827,410.66 inclusive of 7.5 per cent VAT with a completion period of four months,” the report stated.

The firm, Mogjan Nigeria Limited, which was incorporated on August 6, 2019, the report claimed, was co-owned by Prince Godwin Momoh, Chioma Momoh and George Momoh, with a turnover of N84.9m, was not to be trusted with a contract worth N3.7 billion.

Unfortunately, the FEC meeting marked EC (2021) 236, and presided over by Osinbajo, at a time President Muhammadu Buhari was away for a United Nations General Assembly meeting, saw the vice-president stand down the memo despite repeated appeals by the minister, over what other cabinet had come to dismiss as 2023 politics.

Thus, another presidency source, who disagreed with the reports making the rounds from the leaked memo, and cited a top presidency source, insisted that the decision by the vice-president to stand down the memo had baffled everyone at the meeting, because Amaechi’s submission was convincing enough to have secured the approval if Osinbajo had no ulterior motive.

“It’s sad that Amaechi’s warning eventually came to . I hate a situation, whereby someone prewarns and it comes to . Truly, Amaechi sought approval, after explaining the benefits of the security detection devices. His explanation was convincing and everything was fine until the vice-president asked that one question.

“Ask me what the question was? He asked Amaechi the brand of the devices to be brought. The question was not about the credibility of the company or how much they were worth in of turnover, because the fact the BPP had cleared the company had knocked off questions relating to such.

“So, the vice-president had no other place to hide than to ask: what brand? Now, ask yourself, of what relevance is that in the equation? None! The minister had brought many memos including the ones that approved the purchase of coaches and nobody asked for the brand. So, why ask for brand in this instance?

“That, clearly, tells you the vice-president had an ulterior motive and what that was, we all didn’t know. But the easier explanation or getaway is that it was not unconnected to the politics of 2023. Some of our colleagues said he probably considered Amaechi a threat and might have seen that move as a subliminal message. Whatever it was, certainly, it was not in national interest.

“But the sad part and why some cabinet are angry, is that Osinbajo, who declined approval for the devices that would have saved the day, was the first to visit Kaduna to commiserate with families of the survivors and his foot soldiers have been everywhere lying to the observing publics.

“Therefore, whatever anyone says that is contrary to these explanations, is not true and might have been targeted at the minister, obviously for political reasons. Amaechi meant well with the memo and acted right. But the pastor? Let him deal with his conscience as far as this matter is concerned. We’ve lost eight people, several injured and scores still with their abductors on of his indiscretion at the September 24, 2021 FEC,” he explained.

The presidency source, however, appealed to everyone to desist from playing politics with the Kaduna train bomb attack and come together in collective interest, saying, “What we should be looking at now is how to further salvage the situation and not apportion blame. The deed has been done, and the way forward should be our concern now.”

ah ah its not like dat o
Didn't u read what was written up there??
When osinbajo made a declaration dat amechi security to stay down dont u know dat i dont have anything to sayy?? Im literally typing rubbish and im enjoying it ni sha

The rubbish is filled with lies, so #3.7 billion contract was supposed to be awarded to a company that have a turn over of less than 100 million by Amaechi ministry which suppose to executed from the ministry's budget that might have been approved already by the federal house of assembly and signed by the president, so Osibanjo has the power to give out such fund as a vice President?

They have started playing politics with a national tragedy. Was it a unilateral decision of Osinbajo or a unanimous decision of FEC?

Whatever the case maybe, Osinbajo asked the right question. If you are making quotation, naming the brand is not only necessary but compulsory, otherwise, you'll make quotation for quality brand but supply a low grade one.

The roforo fight should stop, neither of the duo is good for the country. They are both serial betrayals.

e no concern me.

Ipob newspaper is trying hard to play a mischievous game. Unfortunately, the high rate of illiteracy in that region has deprived them of the understanding that the Vice President could not have singlehandedly vetoed the decision of FEC. Amaechi should rather come clear the air in the open than using his Ipob proxy to fight back. This is similitude of GEJ selling off NEPA to his gang of thieves, leaving Nigerians bear the brunt of the inefficiencies.

Osinbajo for President

" the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), had reviewed the process of procurement and given a certificate of no objection for the contract, "


Dis case go still reach efcc las las. Even d yeye bureau wey collect bribe to approve dat 419 proposal and d toddler company directors gbogbo must Amaechi to answer query from efcc.

Dis one na d kain 419 contract dem give Tompolo dat time during GEJ. D job wey dem suppose give police rail division or set up new unit like ndlea from police to tackle train, dem dey use am won defraud fg. I osibanjo on dis rejection of d company amaechi put forward.

A company that was formed in the third quarter of 2019 and an annual turnover of less than 85m wanted to handle a project of almost N4B, who does that? 

Also, there is no track record of the useless company ever handling security surveillance contract.

Abeg Osinbajo na real star boy jor.

Nonsense and ingredients.

Make Amaechi rest the matter ... Even a mid-level manager like me wouldn't have approved such contract to a newly established company with no record history, irrespective of the financial turnover

Amaechi wanted to cashout. He wasn't sincere awon werey

Igbos can play very hard and struggle to smear the VP. And it won't even amount to anything. Uzo Kalu is just ignorant of this.

When VP directed him to provide enough information, why hasnt he? This is Amaechi that is always physically present at FEC since that September o. Nonesense.

But the sad part and why some cabinet are angry, is that Osinbajo, who declined approval for the devices that would have saved the day, was the first to visit Kaduna to commiserate with families of the survivors and his foot soldiers have been everywhere lying to the observing publics.

Why didnt Osibanjo ask that another company with a stronger balance sheet and history be forwarded?

Throwing off the table an assumed solution without recommendation solves nothing.

Our ipob folks will chop Osibanjo raw for the next 2weeks
They have never ever seen anything good about him

But if it was on ground of lack of credible history of the company they declined the contract, couldn't they simply have asked Ameachi to contract a much more experienced company. I think the bottom line is that they failed to see the importance of such a security project given that there never recorded such an attack before now.

You can see Tinubu Urchins have started the dance of shame by trying to smear the person of Osinbajo. How can you award a contract of 3.7 billion to a company formed two years earlier and with an annual turnover of 84 million. It was obvious that Amaechi wanted to cash out on the contract but trust Osinbajo, he is a sharp guy.

Quotations were made to the right authority already.

If you believe the rubbish that this news is, then you can believe almost anything.

I beg to disagree. Though Osinbajo does not talk much, he has a good heart. He will not see what will be to the interest of the people and turn away from it.

“So, the vice-president had no other place to hide than to ask: what brand? Now, ask yourself, of what relevance is that in the equation? None!

“Therefore, whatever anyone says that is contrary to these explanations, is not true and might have been targeted at the minister, obviously for political reasons.

Lies and misrepresentation.

Amaechi's proposal wasn't rejected just because of the brand (or lack thereof), but mainly due to a conflict of interest and lack of capacity.

“We had doubts about the capability of a company, which was formed less than two years prior and had no track record of handling a contract of N3.7bn or a contract on surveillance systems. The company was also to be paid upfront. Our investigation pointed to a conflict of interest.”

This implies Amaechi presented a proposal on a contract worth N3.7 billion to FEC over a fledging company which has father, mother and child as directors and with no major original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supplier for surveillance equipment.

So Amaechi wanted to entrust our railway security to a Papa, Mama & Pikin company with neither the capital nor track record for delivering such a critical project. The jackals even wanted the payment upfront

Osibanjo was indeed a good steward of leadership when he was in acting capacity as President in Buhari's absence. His eagle eyes spotted the irregularities when he presided over the FEC meeting and rejected the proposal accordingly.

No wonder Amaechi was so quick to point fingers and blame immediately after the incident. If he had done the right thing in the first place and presented a proposal from a reputable & capable company that wouldn't raise red flags of "conflict of interest", could the unfortunate railway tragedy of last Sunday have been averted? Maybe. Just maybe.

Let us soberly reflect, make amends & give reverence to the innocent departed, and Amaechi's handlers should stop playing petty politics with an avoidable national tragedy .

Pastors and criminality

Ahahahha. Even when it is stated that monsters expressed their concerns?

Rubbish

Want to give a ₦4B contract to a mushroom company. A company that doesn't know jack about surveillance.

Reasons why you all need someone like Osinbajo.

It's even laughable to think a surveillance equipment or software can deter any bandit.

The other possibility is, did some people bombed d railway to create a "didn't I tell you" moment?
