Yet some foolish Southerners are supporting the same Jibrin against Amaechi, claiming that the Coastal Railway was not in the original budget.

Are Jibrin' s and Dogora's project in the original budget?
Were they included in any subsequent amendment like Amaechi did for the coastal railway?
Did the relevant ministers defend those projects during the budget defence?

Lastly, did Jibrin wait for a supplementary budget before inserting his own personal projects outside the statutory allocation for constituency projects? Yet the same Jibrin is telling Amaechi and the President to wait till a new supplementary budget is raised by the executive before a critical project can be approved.

The problem with hate is that people self-destruct, thinking they are hurting their enemies. Some are determined that Buhari must not achieve anything good within their political domain, as if he was responsible for the failure of their own son on home soil.

Buhari and Amaechi may never need to use the coastal railway in their lifetime, but the supposed beneficiaries are supporting the arguments of the very person who has robbed them to make his own people happy.

Years from now, a new generation of Southern bigots would proclaim that the North allocated lots of infrastructural projects to themselves, oblivious of the self-hate that caused their own neglect.

I'm sure when NASS survive this, they wouldn't try it again in the next budget.

How can you have to mind to say that a project wasn't in the budget but you knew it was defended, you also knew it was in error that it was left out of the budget. Then you have the mind to remove it, you also take the money to share among other project and then include your own project which wasn't on the budget.


What sort of reasoning is that? If it wasnt in the budget, why did you include your own project that wasn't captured?

OrangeDream:
I demand that Abdulmumin Jubrin be recalled immediately from the house.. This man is a disaster.. What arrant nonsense!!!

DEDEAL77:
Jibrin must resign for going beyond his bound with the provisions of the Constitution

street light 300M

Jibrin is Jibiti

Jibiti must resign now

He is a thief.

santori:



what a misplaced statement, is jubril representing your people? I wonder how una dey think. the senators and reps are there, you are not calling for their withdrawal. na person that has no leaning to your region you dey para for.

sorry to ask , how old are you?

OrangeDream:
I quite agree with you to an extent.. But why should him use his position as Appropriation Committee Chairman to influence or divert huge resources to his constituency? Was that why he was appointed? This is a case of national interest.. And he abused the position..
If this is the new trend in the house now, then house representative members from other constituencies will start fighting for that position next year na.. Honestly, he erred on this one

Omonigeriarere:


And when does fighting for the interest of people in his constituency well become a crime? This is a call for others to sit tight and wake up to their responsibilities.

Imagine! this man was able to include these projects which were not initially included in the project submitted under the watchful eyes of SE/SS Senators, while the SE/SS rail project was rejected because it was not included in the main budget: who is fooling who?

Kudos to Jibrin jooor....

yaki84:




bros I wan give u facts that will convince u that this federal govt never thought of executing that project.

1. amaechi said the project will start from obudu connect to calabar then link to uyo n the rest. in the entire route presented by dailies, hv not seen south eastern towns in the route.

2. thee project in question is calabar lagos rail project, but amaechi said it will kickstart from obudu, why not obudu lagos rail project? why calabar lagos?
dont forget buhari flagged off 250km super highway lastyr that will link bakassi to obudu terminating at katsina ala which is in benue, if at all this facility is going to kickstart which to me is capital intensive why include obudu into this project which to me will hinder n slow down this project considering the problems on ground with the super highway caused by the indigenes of these communities this highway will pass thru. they r telling the govt to halt constructiin that govt didnt consult them before embarking on d project that their livelihood source will be desteoyed n most of their economic trees n communities will be destroyed.

3. the transport ministry hv not done any feasibility studies nor EIA on this project. communities where this track will pass thru hv not been consulted. dont forget this track will not be laid beside the existing road network on ground in these communities.

4. the deed has been done, even if the project was included in the budget am not sure normal work would hv started this year. so let d ministry go back to d drawing board n do d needful.

OrangeDream:
Old enough to give birth to a cobweb-head like you.. Since you can't see that, this man just compromised national interest.. Mumu

blazetitov:



If he included those projects with the knowledge of the other committee members and he did not at the same time cancel or divert funds for projects from other regions, then he is smart. But he didn't tow that line. He is a criminal!!

GudluckIBB:
So this is how they have been infusing monies in the past since 1999.

Thank God I voted for change.

yaki84:
I will keep blaming the executive for this mess n controversy in d budget.
from the time ministers started denying their budgets n bringing another budget there was a problem been created by that singular action.

how can ministers reject budget n bring in another version of budget without the knowledge of presidency?

blazetitov:



If he included those projects with the knowledge of the other committee members and he did not at the same time cancel or divert funds for projects from other regions, then he is smart. But he didn't tow that line. He is a criminal!!

Omonigeriarere:


And where did you get the information that other members of committee were not aware? The man played on their sense and he scaled through.

codedguy1:


This is the point a lot of people are missing! It now seems doing the wrong thing and tagging it smart is the right thing in this country. What those Nass members did was wrong and should not be praised as being smart by diverting projects to their constituencies.

the southern house members were trying to play by the rules becauses it is wrong to start allocating projects any how but the northern members just feel they can allocate these things to their constituencies because that's all they have been doing in the Nigerian project and it now seems like its the right thing to do.

The place where I blame the southern house members is that they were not vigilant enough to observe, caution and call out the northern Nass members when they were allocating spurious projects to their constituencies.

They failed us there!

santori:


muuuumuuuu. everything na about interest. why do you think every local government has representatives in abuja? abi to you na to go dey Bleep ashawo and share the money

But We in the Benue South senatorial district do not see the the effects of this infusion over the years that David Mark held sway in the Senate leadership in our constituency.

In fact Otukpo one of the major town in the state which incidentally happen to be his home town is an eye sore.
I heard that our own share has been taken to Panama for his generational investment.
