Buhari Urged To Slash Presidency, N / Assembly Expenses By 50% by cephaswizzy(m): 3:33pm On May 06, 2015
By Abdulsalam Muhammad
KANO – MEMBER-ELECT, House of
Representatives, Gaya,/Ajingi/Albasu
federal constituency, Abdullahi
Mahmud Gaya, has called on the
President elect, Muhammadu Buhari
to slash 50% expenses of the
presidency and National Assembly
expenses to garner enough
resources to execute capital projects.
Briefing Reporters in Kano, Monday,
Gaya, urged all his colleagues to
show understanding and sacrifice to
take the country forward.
The erstwhile Kano Commissioner of
Finance, said “In my opinion I think it
will be better for all the elected
representatives, beginning from Mr
President to membes of parliament,
to Ministers, other Advisors and
special assistants to demonstrate
understanding and sacrifice agree to
50% salary cut” he called.
He said “Since we believe the
country needs positive change we
should therfore accept it as such.
The slash in the expenses should
continue till when our dear nation
gets to execute capital projects. May
be from the time we were
inaugurated to another two years,” he
insisted.
Gaya further emphasised that, they
were all elected to change the trend
if the federal government expenses
for better. “As it is obtained now
75% of the national budget goes to
recurrent expenditure and the
remaining 25% goes to capital
expenditure. We should not accept
this if we really have the county ay
heart, ” Gaya challenged profusely.
He stressed that the spending at the
Presidential Villa, should also be
slashed for the meantime. “So that
we get something to work with,” he
said.
He also stated that, if Nigeria could
copy from Kano state, where
leakages were stopped, the in-coming
administration of Buhari could get
mote resources to work with.
“In Kano state the public treasury is
being guarded and guided jealously
with care and accountability, which
resulted into a disciplined fiscal
responsibility. Buhari and all other
representatives should copy from
Kano,”.
“In our budget in Kano, we spend
75% in capital expenditure while only
25% goes to recurrent spending,”
Gaya posits.

We voted out 'zeroformation'. There was no transformation.

We will only regret if Buhari falls below zero
