The Federal lawmaker representing Gwer/Gwer West federal constituency, in the House of Representatives, Mr. Mark Gbillah has decried the level of corruption and mismanagement of the nation’s resources by the executive.

The lawmaker who spoke Tuesday in Makurdi lamented that the executive presides over the expenditure of over 98 per cent of Nigeria’s annual budget without commensurate developmental projects to show for the huge funds.

According to him, “the budget of the National Assembly every fiscal year never exceeds N138billion. In fact, it is usually around N125billion. Now let’s take this year’s budget, for instance, that is about 1.1 percent of the entire budget. The judiciary takes about one percent while the executive sits on about 97 to 98% of the annual budget and yet Nigerians wonder where corruption is.

You can see how they have misguided Nigerians not to look at the fact. Is it the one percent that goes to the National Assembly that is destroying Nigeria’s economy? Even if we cancel all the pays of the legislators what difference will that make?

“We must all know that the budget of the National Assembly is not given to members to share. The money goes to the running of the National Assembly.

“The legislature is separate from the administrative arm of the National Assembly. You have the civil service, you have the National Institute of Legislative Studies, we have the Committee work, before you come to the allowances of our aides and the allowances and salaries of lawmakers and all the operation.

“That is what that budget goes for. But unfortunately, you will see people carrying out some mathematics sharing the budget among the lawmakers.Who does that.Should we divide the 98% of the budget that goes to executive among the president, his vice and the ministers?

“These are things Nigerians need to really start to understand. People have pitched Nigerians against the legislators. But Nigerians need to support us to enable us do our work. If they look at us as the problem, they will stop us from being able to look at where the real problem is based, which is the executive.

“Nigerians should be wise and rise up to where the problem of their country is. It is in the executive, that is where the corruption is and that is where our money is mismanaged.”

All is falling back on us the helpless citizens

Corruption reeks on every corner of this country! Let them divide this British experiment.

They should keep blaming themselves.

But in my opinion, the legislative arm of Government is the wackest in this country, i don't see their usefulness on the common man.

Billions of Naira are just being wasted on those men without any impact on the country.

Laws laws, dey no make am to benefit me and you.

Whats their usefulness then?

At least, i always feel the impact of the Executive and Judiciary small.

Because they haven't had their shares that's why they are decrying

Birds of same feather

The only people who cannot see the reality are sycophants.

We said it long time ago
Buhari will end up taking the country backwards .

fucking rubber stamp house of reps, posterity will judge you guys harshly.

Na today
Nigeria was, is, and will most likely be a mistake forever.

I've been saying this thing since, The first biggest scam of Nigerian was the amalgamation, second biggest scam was democracy, third biggest scam was Buhari...

See pot calling kettle black! This country is just full of hypocrites. Make una make cuts on government spendings, na war.

That is why they are talking bullshit and telling lies anyhow

Buhari and cohorts are common THIEVES!..
Judiciary and legislature are crooks!
Only a red revolt can salvage the shithole.

Over to the executive.

Damn

self centred leaders everywhere

Kip kwayet! RUBBER STAMP PEOPLE... Did executive give you permission to talk?

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Nigerian politicans both the rep and the excos
Has been stealing our moni since 1960

Mr integrity my foot. Buhari is the most corrupt, tyrant and nepotistic president Nigeria ever had. I think his problems is from lack of proper education. How I wish we can turn back the hands of time and correct this mistake. But it's too late. Just that 2023 is too far to bear the hardships of this man.

Tell truth to power
