Stupid president with different excuses

E still dey pain u say PDP lost

This should have nothing to do with PDP loss. When something is wrong, we should all out-rightly condemn it irrespective of the party or side we belong to. If PDP in their days, delay passage of budget, we don't want APC to do the same, if not we wont have the development we all crave for.

chisomdoris:
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, on Tuesday has said President Muhammadu Buhari should be blamed and not the leadership of the National Assembly for the delay in the passage of the 2019 budgets.

Buhari, who had on Monday signed the 2019 budget into law, had later at night passed a vote of no confidence on Dogara and the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

Buhari had blamed the delay in signing 2019 budget on the leadership of the National Assembly.

However, Dogara said since President Buhari assumed office, he, “has been unable to present budget on time.”

In a statement he signed, Dogara said: “His first budget was the 2016 budget, which was submitted on December 22, 2015, exactly nine days to the end of the fiscal year.

“The minimum time the National Assembly requires to pass budget is three months. But he presented it just nine days to 2016’ and that ‘what Nigerians didn’t know and the President won’t say is that the Executive through the various ministries continued to propose additional projects to be included in the 2018 budget even as at April and May which further delayed the passage of the 2018 budget. These were communicated officially and if anyone is in doubt, the letters are there with the dates they were written and received. But here’s Buhari blaming the National Assembly.’

“President Muhammadu Buhari a few days ago, in his usual characteristics of self-righteousness, and buck-passing blamed tardiness in the passage of budgets by the National Assembly for the delay in the completion of projects across the country by his government.

“To be precise, the president said, ‘If the National Assembly takes seven months to pass a budget, then we should be commended for the much that we have achieved, and can still achieve. I personally feel very disappointed. I spoke with the leaders of the National Assembly on the issue that seven months is a long time to work on a budget.”

“Even though buck passing and blame game is not new to Buhari as it is now his stock in trade; in the past few days and weeks, there is no day that passes without the President blaming others in a desperate move to exonerate himself from any blame or failure of the Executive under his leadership to execute projects across the country.

“In fact, very recently, Buhari blamed all his predecessors for failing to build infrastructure. And I wonder why? It was the general consensus that the former employees didn’t perform as expected and that was why Nigerians hired him for a job he has sought for four conservative time but here he is blaming the same people he replaced. If you are the boss of ” Nigeria limited”, what will you do this employee?

“Some weeks ago, he even blamed the media for failing to showcase his achievements.

“I’m very disappointed with the Nigerian press. They didn’t give this government the credit of the go back to land programme,” he said on 26 October. Time and space would not permit me to list all his “blaming”.

“However, it is disingenuous for President Muhammad Buhari to blame the National Assembly for his government’s inability to implement budget and execute projects that affect the lives of Nigerians in the last three years.

“To set the record straight, this is a President who, from inception of his government didn’t show any sign that he was well prepared and ready for the job he sought for four times in 16 years and for which we voted for him.

“For instance, it took him six months, yes six months not six weeks to form his cabinet. It also took him two years to appoint board chairmen for most government agencies. This is was his greatest undoing and was principally responsible for plunging Nigeria into recession because activities in Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government were brought to a half for the period since civil servants could not take decisions due to absence of political heads in a country where public sector spending drives the economy. At a point, he even said he was happy working with civil servants because ministers or politicians were noisemakers because “they are only there to make a lot of noises”, he told a French television station in September 2015.

“Now, after three years, with election in three months, the President is at it again, exonerating himself from apparent failure of his government thereby throwing the blame right at the doorstep of the legislature. But facts don’t lie and they could be stubborn and here are the facts:

“Late budget presentation

“Since his assuming office, the president has been unable to present budget on time. His first budget was the 2016 budget which was submitted on December 22, 2015, exactly nine days to the end of the fiscal year.

“The minimum the National Assembly requires to pass budget is three months. But he presented it just nine days to 2016.

“Again, the 2017 budget was presented on December 14,2016, just 17 days to the end of 2016. ‘The earliest he presented budget was on November 7, 2017 which was the 2018 appropriations bill. It was less than two months to the end of the year.

“However, his ministers refused to appear before National Assembly committees to defend the budget for five months thereby delaying the passage.

“It was after the leadership of the National Assembly sought the President’s intervention on March 16, 2018 that the ministers reluctantly appeared before the committees, an exercise that takes at least one month to complete.

“In fact , some of them who felt they were super ministers sent in their permanent secretaries.

“What Nigerians didn’t know and the President won’t say is that the Executive through the various ministries continued to propose additional projects to be included in the 2018 budget even as at April and May which further delayed the passage of the 2018 budget. These were communicated officially and if anyone is in doubt the letters are there with the dates they were written and received. But here’s Buhari blaming the National Assembly.

“Violation of Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007 ‘Since the inception of the Buhari administration, it has been in constant violation of the Fiscal Responsibility Act which stipulates that budgets should be presented in early September. The wisdom or import of the FRA is that the National Assembly will have at least three full months to work on the budget bill.

“Intact, the Executive admitted its failure and inability to abide by the law on August 24,2018 when former minister of Budget and National Planning, now minister of finance, Zainab Ahmed disclosed that the Federal government will present the 2019 budget in September in a bid to restore the budget circle from January to December but here we are in November without the budget estimates before the lawmakers.

“Buhari’s Failure/Refusal to assent to budget submission Bill ‘In a bid to address the issue of late budget presentation and passage, the National Assembly passed a constitutional amendment bill that requires the President to submit the Appropriation Bill not later than 90 days to the end of the financial year but unfortunately, very unfortunately, the president has vetoed the bill.

My able speaker, you don't need to explain to us because we already knew him to always cause problems to himself and others and afterwards puts the blame on others. He will always blame people for His incompetence and failures.

SOFTENGR:

Sifia Pain from the last DEFEAT. Keep wailing and crying till 2033 not 2023.

Buhari just wants to send a budget in and the legislative to just pass it without proper scrutiny

By 'scrutiny' I guess you mean subtracting funds allocated for major economic projects and using the extracted funds to add dubious constituency projects like supply of desks in primary schools right?.. Because in the last 4 years, we've seen such recurring cases of budget padding which always led to an impasse and delayed budget approval. But I'm sure you'd naturally just support the rogues in the NASS because we all just love to hate the president.

Mr Dogara you see your life.You and Saraki made a covenant to hold Nigeria to ransome under different excuses such as Padding Budgets with billions of illegal Constituency Projects for personal gains, unrelated to Masses problems.Shame on you.Make you carry your problems go.

Some parts of this so-called statement appeared to have been written in November 2018 and made reference to the general elections held in February 2019 in future tenses.

Why is it being released now in response to what the president said yesterday? Was is written in anticipation of the president’s statement?

stwepid "dog a rat"! tell your story to the gods, when he was presenting at a time not specified by the Constitution why not reject it and tell the whole world?
budget padder!

Quite frankly you’ve said the truth but sincerely the delay in the budget is the fault of the legislatives.

The only thing Nigeria politicians know how to do is to tell lies with good English,,, after that don't expect anything else

Are you in anyway amputated.

What's your problem?

Is there no site, where building construction is going on in your area.

Anyway, na me get time to reply you. Begger

I domt want to know but i believe Dogara

Me too

Dogara, you even have time to reply this old f.ol tyrant who likes blame game. What about him who took good six months to appoint his ministers?

In life, accept blame when you disappointed people. Ask Adam and Eve for refusing responsibility in place of blame game; and where we are today?


You, Baba go slow who can not manage well your wife the First Lady and Yusuf your son, you wanna control Dogara and Saraki. Do you see them as Osibanjo your errands boy or Tinubu your toy?

His middle name is Blame Game

You’re just one of the cretine

Dogara said the absolute truth. Buck passing is one unfortunate thing about this executive. Yes the legislature hasn't been fantastic but the president has not done enough to define leadership. This is, anywhere belle-face-government. No magic will happen in the next four years if these guys don't act right and take responsibility for the roles they occupy.

It's a very short time. Is it not four years? Posterity will judge

Very good response..
Well-done Dogara..
