With the executive refusal to sign the budget draft passed by the NASS demanding for the breakdown details and the NASS not forwarding the details in anytime soon, Nigeria government will be grounded from 12 midnight today when the 2015 current budget year end.
The implication being that no government expenditure of any sort irrespective of who is involve. Such expenditure if carried out by anyone in all the three arms of government will be criminal and illegal and can lead to impeachment and imprisonment.

Awesome; so u are the only one to figure this out, what a genius

Ok.

Dey there dey speak grammar. Buhari doesn't care about any law. If you doubt me ask Nnamdi Kanu.

This your observation sounds more like some kind of theories we study in school. It does not apply in real life situation. It will not change a thing. Have we ever had budgets' full implementation on approved projects? And what happens to the balance of the fund earmarked and approved? We should stop living under the illusion that we practice civilized governance in Nigeria. 2016 budget and we are in april already

When budget was passed and PMB refused to assent on it. Do u think PMB is ready to follow what the constitution says...

this is becoming worrisome

Waiting for Lai Mohammed To React To This.

Welcome to change era. Illegality is the new legal.

I presume that's according to the Nigerian constitution. But u forget that we haven't been using that in a while now. There's a Buhari Constitution and that's what we've been governed with. Only PMB has the copy to that, not even VP Osinbajo knows what it says.

Lol. It ia amazing how people of this country still work with PDP mentality. Watch Buhari in action. You do not even know what has been going on. Buhari is in USA. Meaning budget for 2015 financial year is gone. Now he has all the senators and ministers on a tight rope.

This is why I never supported d way PMB stood aloof while people were jostling for leadership position in d house of assembly, he ought to know dat he needed people who would work with him n had no personal agenda or are not over-ambitious, now dis is wat he will have to contend with.
As for d house of assembly n those supporting them, wen d budget was submitted, we remember d drama dat followed it cos they claim it was padded, so dey delayed d passage because of dat, which we were not even sure if truly d budget was padded, but now dey the want d budget passed without d full details, who does that?

He did not refuse to sign. The senators and ministers had already defied the constitution when they decided to do budget padding. He sent it back and told them to get rid of that budget padding and clarify how much goes to each project. What Buhari want is for the ministers to state exactly what projects they would be doing and how much goes in each project. Not Vague allocations like N6trillion for Industrial works, N50billion for welfare. Welfare of what? Are you building schools? In what state? What industrial works? Are constructing railroads? From where to where? But they do it want to do this so they can have an open avenue to loot. He should not sign. We will be looking at ourselves. No loot, No transparency,No food, No water, No light.

You are absolutely wrong. Go back and read the 1999 constitution properly, you will see the provisions that allows government to continue to incur expenditure up till June even without the. Appropriation act. Get educated before opening silly threads.

Below is an extract of section 82 of the 1999 constitution.


82. If the Appropriation Bill in respect of any financial year has not been passed into law by the beginning of the financial year, the President may authorise the withdrawal of moneys in the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation for the purpose of meeting expenditure necessary to carry on the services of the Government of the Federation for a period not exceeding six months or until the coming into operation of the Appropriation Act, whichever is the earlier

What's the fuss all about.

who told you that we are going to run this year's economy without a budget?In any case, what happened to the running of the economy when your defeated hero(GEJ) signed the 2015 budget in may 2015?Yes i don't support late budget passage and signing because it have negative effects on the economy, but,i don't like how you guys(supporters of PDP and Gej)are trying to use it embarrass both the person and administration of pmb,when your defeated hero didn't do any better.I support the reason the President has giving for his refusal to sign the budget. It should not be business as usual for our lawmakers. Yes,this present delay will cause more pains for Nigerians, but we must persevere, for the right things to be done at all times,after all,there is no gain without pain.

So any one that criticize this governanment automatically become a fan of Gej. We are discussing issues affecting our nation and u are saying we are embarrassing PMB. So we shld keep quiet while ur PMB take us back to era of ditactorship where governanment operate with out budget. No wonder they call you guys zombies

The best way to steal money without been caught is by operating without a budget.

Budgeting makes corruption easily identify

but

Corruption can be easily concealed in a budgetless operation.
