Details of President Muhammadu Buhari’s proposed 2016 National Budget currently before the National Assembly are beginning to emerge.

According to analysts, Buhari’s budget provides a shocking figure of N1.7 billion for feeding the Presidency.

In 2015, the Jonathan government had budgeted less than N1 billion for the same expense line and his government was heavily criticised by the All Progressives Congress (APC). It was termed an outrageous figure and obscene expense by the then opposition party.

Nigerians have reacted with shock and disapproval at the outrageous budgetary provision. As usual, there is a mix of humour and satire.

Amidst scarcity, Aso Rock is cutting costs and feeding with N1.7B in 2016 as against N1B in 2015. God punish devil, liars and hypocrites.

I support N1.7 Billion feeding for one year. Buhari needs all the food he can get to work optimally. https:///gPkuCZFOj4

You have been reported to the mods, enjoy your ban.

I only asked u a question. Stop all these cowardice acts and boldly answer. Are u the originator of a false unsubstantiated report. Anyone that involve in such is a cursed fool. If u aren't, why are u so concerned?

Meiji:


"According to analysts" abeg which analysts? All these "analysts" no get name? At least the N1billion under Jonathan was out in the public doamain and everyone could see it. Where exactly is this breakdown and how did these "analysts" come across that figure?

Show us your workings abeg.
