Former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Charles Soludo has stated that the 2016 budget presented by President Muhammadu Buhari was almost the same as the one presented by his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan.

According to Soludo, the present budget was a carbon copy of the one by Jonathan’s government, adding that defeating old bad ideas could be better that initiating new ones.

He said this while speaking at the 13th Daily Trust Dialogue in Abuja on Thursday.

“The present budget is more of the same to the previous ones. Mr. Vice President [Prof. Yemi Osinbajo], If you scale your budget on the scale of GDP, it is almost the same with the previous government.

“It has a historic 37% deficit as we never had it before. The truth is that you are borrowing 37% with only 30 per cent on capital project,” Prof. Soludo stressed.

This is an open secret, during the budget debate of 7th Senate, Senator Babafemi Ojodu, of ACN made a point of order, he presented a copy of the 2014 budget proposal and juxtaposed it with the 2015 own, believe you me, the two documents were duplications of each other safe for dates. David Mark ruled him out of order cause he was was exposing the flaw the PDP government, now the whole thing is playing its ugly self to our faces. the blame goes to the civic servants in the budget office, they are lazy and desperately corrupt, all they do every year is change dates and titles of documents and submit unrealistic budgets filled with errors and dubious demands.
