N111.65 Billion -edo 2016 Budget And The Unthinkable: by saint047(m): 2:44pm On Jan 15, 2016
Oshiomhole slashed budgetary allocation to the office of the deputy governor from over N250 million to mere N35 million,where as,the same governor budget N2.55 billion for fueling governor's convoy. And a whopping sum of N500 million as monthly security vote,this is after the N5 billion budgeted for security in a state where kidnapping,robbery and cultism are on the increase with no adequate measure to curb them.
Water provision,N100 million and ICT N400 million respectively.
How insensitive for a governor to budget a meagre sum of N100 million to provide water for population of people close to 4million and budget billion of Naira for executive tea and recharge cards?Agriculture N300 million.
When a government budget a mere N300 million on Agriculture and budget N1.7 billion to feed his government,then something is very wrong.
Edo is about 4million population,and predominantly insular farmers,then a governor budgeting just N300 million for a fiscal year on Agriculture is nothing but sheer wickedness.2015 budget had N150 million to maintain the Benin Water Fountain and another N100 million voted in this year budget,yet the water fountain has been non-functional.
What exactly do the governor expect the deputy governor's office to do with N35 million as against the previous N250 million? Personal dispute should not be transferred to the innocent masses,the governor should not in anyway use his power to short-change the deputy's office to settle political differences while the good people of Edo suffers the brunt.
In a country where oil serves as major revenue generation and the price of oil has continue to fall,a deep thinking leader should budget more on Agriculture.
Unreasonably,our governor had just budgeted a mere N300 to the Ministry of Agriculture.
Governor Oshiomhole spends between N3.5 - 4 million on a chartered flight weekly while only N100 is budgeted to provide water for population of about 4million people.
Would N100 million be enough to provide bore holes in one local govt in the state?Is all looting and looting,and not to be abated anytime soon.
Governor Oshiomhole has flunked and no sign of redemption.
Painfully,I don't see anything different in the very near future unless drastic measures are taken to let those who governs know how woefully they have failed.
This is not about governor Oshiomhole alone or APCor PDP but about the entire government system.
Oshiomhole's successor whether APC or PDP will act swiftly in same manner since the loopeholes and inadequacies in our repugnant system has not been corrected.God bless Edo.

Mr.Charles Amadin.
