This man is not intone with happenings oooooo. For your info, Maku was forced to apologized and he did.
But objective analysts know that Maku never did anything wrong. The man said the resolution of the house is not an act and consequently has no binding effect on the president. He saw it as an advise from the legislators to the president. VERY SIMPLE AND SELF EXPLANATORY. WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS?
Is resolution a law? Is the president compelled by the constitution to obey all resolution of the house? Isn't there a provision for executive power/ veto power?
People fear the truth. The sooner we begin to accept the truth as it is, the better for us all.

ifihearam: This useless mark and tambuwal thinks its business as usual,well Mr president i salute your presidential humility,in a bid to succeed you must swallow certain arrogance from nonentities like mark and his cohorts. if the budget is presented late they will complain,now the president has decided to present it early enough for him to kick start his good plans for Nigerians,you tagged it MERE figures and you called yourselves rubber stamps.

Mark is a very stupid man. but that will not deter us from doing that which we were elected for.

Ride on your excellency,no matter what we face we shall triumph

kennytidistar: na ghana must go dem deey find bunch of rogues and robbers. mtchew. no business as usual

kenmusa: For Nigeria to grow, we need a very strong and dynamic NASS. And I think they are trying to become one. They must be checks and balances in the system. I do not know why some people are always angry whenever the Presidency is being criticized no matter how constructive it is. Dr Okupe is one man who is attention seeker. He is so corrupt that he was among the first set of govt officials sacked by former president Obasanjo in the early stage of his administration. I am surprised that he has returned to govt so soon

teskyg: We dont even need the National Assembly.David Mark who is the Arrow Head of this smear campaign should point to one project he has excuted in his Constitunecies since he became a Senator.Those that live in Glass Houses should not throw stone.

Demdem:

My friend, shut up. its not his duties to execute projects. His is to make laws. if ur question was "what law had he helped in enacting to help his constituent" that would have been better.

bubadaniel13: then why are they clamouring for constituency allowance,[/b]is it not an executive function to execute project?in an ideal democracy there is checks and balances and separation of powers the National Asssembly is even dabbling into executive functions sef...

Demdem:

if at all there is any such thing then i suppose its basically for their offices (maintenance and staffs upkeep) which they are expected to have in their various constituencies (many of them dont sha). NASS should be stopped from personally executing projects

jadakiss213: NO Sir..these legislathieves were collecting money to execute constituency projects..They have been doing this for years.Now,GEJ is putting a stop to all that..what do u expect them to say?

Demdem: ^^

Seconded. Besides what he claimed they collect are constituency ALLOWANCES. There is a big difference here.

teskyg: It is not news that Billions of Naira is allocated to both Arms of the National Assembly for Counstitunecy Projects which ends up in the pockets.Execept you guys are new or playing to the Gallery like your cohorts in the National Assembly.

bubadaniel13: Go and find how much NASS budget for 469 people hundreds of billions,constituency allowances in the National Assembly is as old as the Roman empire since 1999,and I find that unjustiable cos it's an executive function.

take dat: The Presidency should stop this approach of playing victim all the time.The budget from the executive is mere figures and the National Assembly is constitutionally empowered to appropriate budget.The problem with budgeting in Nigeria is implementation which is the responsibility of the executive.The president should sit up and utilise this budget effectively and oversee those MDA,s that have nade civil servants turn to overnight billionaires

Demdem: If being truthful is regarded as unfair by the presidency then i think the presidency has a problem.

Omo_Tier1:
Stop deceiving yourself. Budgeting is never Nigeria's problem. IMPLEMENTATION. .simples. The present government led by GEJ does not have the capacity to implement budgets and is a governmrnt of rogues and paddy paddy chop I chop rob belle awuf government. How do expect a Trainee President to be able to implement a technical budget?

maclatunji:

Help me out here by giving evidence of the two bolded statements.

dayo23: . Thinkin of that too...thief thief President

maclatunji:

@bolded, they come in two categories:

1. The sycophants who do so for their own benefit.

2. The ignorant ones- those that can't identify the issues talkless of analysing them and making meaningful contributions.

You see, Category 1 manipulates Category 2 to ensure that they remain in power or are close to power at any point in time. If this cycle continues, it spells doom for Nigeria and I am not being dramatic here.

thelastPope:

So you support that the FG should throw monies around? It is sad that people like you will support anything even if it is against the well being of NIgeria. It only means you are a paid critic

Demdem:


Fool, where in my post did i suggest such?
better still, where in Mark or tambuwal's position which i agree with did such came from.
me think u are eternally foolish.

afam4eva:
This labaran Maku guy's mouth runs like a newly commisioned tap in a rural area. I expect him to apologize that he's known for after talking before thinking.

[s]So Mark and Tambuwal suddenly love Nigeria more than all of us? They are so concerned about implementation that they passed the budget in May? They took one week to go around the 36 states of the country and came back to say the budget implementation was poor? Tambuwal who was installed by Bankole is now a saint that wants Nigeria to move forward? so why are they clamouring for an increase in their allowee? You argue like a kid and curse because you are shallow. Just like you type everyting in bold because you are weak and are seeking attention. Try and be more confident in yourself when you converse[/s]
