Buhari Rejects N’assembly’s Peace Deal On Budget - Punch by OKDnigeria: 12:48am On Apr 11, 2016 |
There were indications on Sunday that the National Assembly’s peace moves with the executive over the 2016 budget crisis had flopped. http://www.punchng.com/buhari-rejects-nassemblys-peace-deal-on-budget/ 3 Likes

No need to flog a dead horse. The Lagos-Calabar project was never in the budget in the first place. The budget copy is available all over. It was put up for download by the budget office on their site. Buhari is just looking for distractions for the mess he is in. Publishing a picture online of the president going through a 1800 page document was enough to tell anyone this was all propaganda. The APC are not serious and not ready for governance. This is how 419 scam groups operate. They throw a lot of hot air and puff and huff aimlessly all day with zero substance. It is all so pathetic Also, remember that the reason the budget was submitted to the NASS in the first place is so they can scrutinise it and remove or add whatever is necessary. You cannot now accuse them of actually doing their job. You cannot berate them for being efficient and competent! I can't believe how kindergarten Buhari and his team are. Such a shame!!! 96 Likes 12 Shares |

Go through the budget and find out for yourself if there is a provision for Lagos - Calabar rail project. It pains me how this government play most Nigerians as fools and they fall for it. If Buhari does not want to sign the budget; he should say so. He delayed in appointing his Ministers and many people praised him. I bet people will still praise him for witholding assent to this budget as being 'careful'. 36 Likes 3 Shares |

This govt sef... The executive submitted a 'padded' budget to NASS. NASS raised an alarm and d whole nation was alerted. NASS now felt like heroe& now tot dat what ever they pass as budget d president would be under pressure to sign. and so they removed d paddings by the executive and added their own padding, to their own benefit, and passed on to the president to sign. And now d executive wants to pay NASS back for d embarrassment of exposing the original padding by exposing their own. And that's why they must 'scrutinize' d budget before assent. Meanwhile, in all these, governance suffers and Nigeria continues to run whitout a budget. 49 Likes 6 Shares |

What's really the problem of this APC Government? Abracadabra everywhere. They seems to be very confused and unfit to rule, just budget they cannot successfully write, defend, appropriate and append on time. This insensitivity and irresponsibility of the govt is way too much. Today the presidency pads, tomorrow the National Assembly pad theirs, this one talks and the other debunks.

While the elephants fight, the ants suffer the most.... While bickering over this and that between the executive and legislature, the ordinary Nigerian suffers. The economy is getting really tough as the rate of inflation continues to rise and with little or no money in the economy.

I still cannot fathom why the Executive and Legislature cannot work harmoniously and set aside politics on crucial matters like this. All this bickering and madness only shows the selfish, wicked and small minds on the current crop of leaders we have. It is obvious that they connived and fed Nigerians a pack of well rehearsed and humongous lies n propaganda at the time of campaigns and elections that brought them into power. They are like students that sort their way through school and already see their grades firmly on the First class graders. Now they are before the panel to defend their projects it has become clear that they are empty cheats n criminals who have nothing with which to defend all their deft moves which produced such project by mere sleight of hand. The President/Executive along with their party members in the majority in the NASS are complete FAILURES! They are an aberration in leadership and have failed Nigerians. This is the first time one can no longer take any statement of government as true and need to wait days for confirmation or rebuttal. Still, at their convenience, they will lie and unsay what they already said. APC, you were given power and you have FAILED! You are just a bunch of rabid thieves n nothing more. After this budget drama, it's implementation will totally disgrace you. 13 Likes |

kenny987: But you guys were the ones who hailed saraki that members of the NA are only answerable to themselves and not the party leadership. Well, this is the result when party leadership cannot whip erring members to fall in line. Do not blame apc, blame the greed of the individual members of the appropriation committee.

blackpanda: Hey! This is beyond party politics and that is where you people remain myopic. Do you think it is all about one upmanship? No! It is about patriotism and commitment to the citizens who put those eejits in power! A synchronised relationship b/w the Legislature and the Executive does not in any way require some dead party demands or interference with the independence of both bodies. It is about good n mature governance that must translate to improved lives and dividends of democracy for the citizens! The citizens come first! The moment politics holds sway over and above the people then such government is dead on arrival. Is Saraki not an APC member? So what if he wasn't a party's godfather's choice? Is that why the nation/citizens must be made to endure such hard n biting circumstances while they don't even concede or partake of the sacrifices we are expected to make for a better tomorrow? 18 Likes 4 Shares |

This government is the biggest joke in the history of Nigeria. How can you defend an item you did not include in a budget in the first instant, you cannot defend what you do not have. And to think that the clowns want to use transcripts of the exchange between the committee and Amaechi as a basis to defend what they never presented is just absurd. APC are a bunch of clowns. 2 Likes |

The moment Nigerians slumber and take for granted the character of Bukola Saraki, the nation may be doomed for it. There is no worst Nigerian elite corrupt criminal than Bukola Saraki. First, he hid the budget to say it was missing, later the lost but found budget was roguely padded to favour their criminal interest having realised President Buhari wasn't going to allow them rip Nigerians off through dubious constituency projects anymore and now, having failed in all those, the one and only criminal Saraki has just invented another criminal tactics, what I can describe as "budget lifting". Just like how shoplifting is a crime, that has been rebranded and introduced to our budget system - removing one project and diverting the proposed expenditure to another uncontemplated and unplanned projects. The intention is to connive with some rogues in the ministries to phantom the projects and siphon the money. However that we have the calibre of Buhari as our president as well as now better informed Nigerians, this is not enough unless we take peculiar step to stem the growth of this cancer. I want to use this opportunity to call on all Nigerians to rise against Bukola Saraki before the devil completely destroys our system. We have no other country than this, so this devil must be exorcised, decapitated and decimated before he sends the nation into irreparable destruction. At this point, enough of any political diplomacy; Presidency should fight this alien like an act of war or else, should he have the upper hand, we may all be consumed. All of us will just wake up one morning to hear that Saraki and his co-criminals have impeached the President and the Vice-president. This is the time to act. No more "siddon look". Anybody that will want to shout one nonsense human right abuse or democracy tenet should continue to shout, when the circumstance is beyond ordinary, extraordinary hands are needed. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

tuale4u: You do not bring extra items to the budget defence. All these kind of claims only indict the executive more. All budgets are submitted to the budget office for collatuion and onward transfer to the NASS. Isn't that why some people in the budget office was accused of not scrutinising properly and redeployed during the budget fraud revelation? Bringing extra budget items to the budget defence is in itself padding because it will not be captured in the budget office 8 Likes 1 Share |
