For three consecutive years, President Muhammadu
Buhari has presented budgets that are more reckless and ridiculous than his predecessor’s.

Buhari did not only adopt the budget template of Goodluck Jonathan, whom his administration has consistently accused of financial profligacy, he has presented more outrageous budgets than the defeated PDP leader did while at the helm.

The most inexplicable item in the 2018 budget is the reappearance of N5.4 billion for repair and rehabilitation of office buildings at the State House headquarters, Presidential Villa, Abuja.

In 2016, Buhari earmarked N4.5 billion for the repair and rehabilitation of residential and office buildings, while in 2017, N5.6 billion was budgeted for repair of residential houses in the Presidential Villa.

In three years of budgeting, Buhari has earmarked over N15 billion to repair and rehabilitate buildings in the State House.

This outrageous expenditure on repairs of buildings is unbelievably coming from Buhari, who had just five houses and two mud houses in Kaduna, Kano, Daura, and Abuja before he became President in 2015.

In contrast, Jonathan earmarked N2.1 billion in 2014 for repair of both residential and office buildings, and N1.1 billion in 2015 for all repairs and rehabilitation at the State House.

Buhari’s first budget for 2016 attracted public outcry but he blamed the inflated figures on “budget padding” by unnamed civil servants. However, the 2017 and 2018 budgets are not better than the “padded” 2016 budget.

Buhari’s State House is more expensive than the Jonathan’s. The 2017 budget for State House headquarters was N11 billion, lower than N11.5 billion in 2016 but N11.5 billion again for 2018. The same budget under Jonathan in 2015 was only N5 billion and N8.7 billion in 2014.

Comparing Buhari and Jonathan’s budgets in figures may not be realistic because of naira devaluation. However, Buhari has nearly doubled the figures on all the budgetary items in the State House and made provision for suspicious items.

Buhari has earmarked N66 million to the ever-changing residential rent in the Presidential Villa. In 2017, the rent was N77 million and only N27 million in 2016. The same residential rent in the last two years of Jonathan’s presidency was N22 million in 2015 and N41 million in 2014. It seems there is nothing as fluctuating and elusive as this annual rent paid to the Presidential Villa landlord or probably a landlady.

Honestly, this change get K-leg

Their cup of kunu

The sad thing is that some hopeless individuals still think Bubu is anything close to integrity and good governance.

No civilian president can be further worse than Buhari in Africa.

Every fabricated news from IPOB I don't read nor listen

It is a lie...... Buhari is a man of integrity, he's not greedy.

Sad

Useless government.

Buhari is simply the biggest/worst monumental political fraud ever seen in the histroy of humanity.

“Some of the comments are borne out of genuine concern, which we appreciate, while others are virulent, coming from inveterate complainers. Fault finding is the stock-in-trade of such people, and if they mistakenly find themselves in Heaven, they would even complain against God. They have no other pastime.

why must you act like a philistine?

On the other hand, that an item is budgeted doesn't imply it was fulfilled. Hence it may be carried over to the next year's budget. That may account for often repeated items.

very foolish somebody.. a dullardeen.

Buhari's government and budget padding eh...

Why rent the presidential villa when you can own it. Its high time we stop spending money on frivolity.

Op i hope you know the difference between budgeted and actuals...

It can be repeated in a budget as far as nothing was spent in the previous budget due to paucity of funds.

Besides why the hue and cry when non of our budget has been implemented up to 30% in the last 3 years?
