‘A budget that moves domestic spending in Aso Villa from N580m to N1.7bn cannot be a budget of change’


Abuja – Sen. Eyinnaya Abaribe (PDP Abia South) on Wednesday in Abuja, berated the 2016 budget and called on President Muhammaduu Buhari to withdraw it and go back to the drawing board.

Abaribe while making contributions during the consideration of the budget, said the proposal was faulty on many grounds and could not be implemented at it was.

He said that predication of oil benchmark at 38 dollars per barrel when the crude oil price had fallen below 30 dollars per barrel made the budget unrealistic.

Abaribe faulted the government for increasing spending by 30 per cent based on borrowing.

“Mr President, my colleagues, this budget is indeed unique. After the budget presentation, the finance minister has never come to explain the details of the budget as it is normally done.

“It is a budget of change I agree, but it is a change in the wrong direction. I say it is a change in the wrong direction because it says that it is based on zero budgeting requiring all expenses to be fully justified.

“Mr President, a budget that increases spending up to 30 per cent based solely on borrowing, in what way are we justified? That is the question we want to ask the people who brought this budget.

“We know what is going on in the global economy: this budget is predicated on an oil benchmark of 38 dollars per barrel and I can now say that with oil being 28 dollars today, this budget is dead on arrival.

“The job of the opposition is to help the government to get its priorities right, so I want to please urge this government to withdraw this budget and go back to the drawing board,” he said.

The senator also faulted the adjustments made in the budget as well as allocation for spending in the Aso Rock Villa, saying that it was too exorbitant.

He said that the adjustments rather than reduce spending in areas where they were not necessary only spread it into different offices.

“Mr President, a budget that moves domestic spending within Aso Villa from N580 million to N1.7 billion cannot be a budget of change.


“We were told that in the revised budget there was an adjustment due to error, we agree but what has happened is that up to N7 billion were moved from buying vehicles and spread to offices.

“It also increased the spending that is due to renovations within the Villa.

“They are going to renovate the Villa with N3.9 billion: what else do you want to renovate there that Nigerians will see in the Year 2016?” he asked.

However, in his contribution, Sen. Ahmed Lawan (APC Yobe North) blamed the previous administration for the lack of funds due to the embezzlement witnessed in previous governments.

He said that this was the 17th budget he would be debating as a legislator and noted that not more than 40 per cent implementation was achieved in the last 16 years.

“The proposal before us is the first budget where the executive has deemed it necessary to give ordinary Nigerians genuine hope.

“N500 billion allocated for school feeding and social SAFTEY NET is commendable.

“It is time to say oil should not continue to play dominant role as we have suffered economically and politically: it is time to diversify this economy.

“The direction of the executive is the way to go. `That is, we should make every effort to have the real sector-agric mining and manufacturing.

“The budget deserves the support of everyone, including my colleagues on the other side. When we were in the opposition we supported the PDP, they should support us,” he said.

Come 2019, I think we youths should also get a political party, get a credible youth that can be trusted and vote him as president of this country. I'm sick and tired of having these old men that have ruling since they were in their mid twenties to continue ruling us.

the worst is yet to come,the dullard will not withdraw this budget,there will be a standoff between him and some senators ,then budget delay,as a result of this many Nigerians will suffer and suffer more although this is a welcome development since they are suffering for their stupidity in voting in a desperate dullard as their president,the efcc will move against key opposition senators. This government will still borrow more by the 3rd quarter of this year. The bitter truth is the worst is yet to happen.

But I thought some dog rain zombies were shouting that osinbajo isbin charge of the president economic team,so this is what he has to offer?when I told ppl here that this budget was written and formulated in ikeja ,they thought I was joking

I'll keep making references to the above as time wears on.

When you switch things between your hands to make it look like magic, it is called slight of hand. This is how I will describe this budget!

Remind me again, how much does a solid state 1TB memory for a computer cost, let alone a hard drive?


How much did APC government budget?

Stop boring me with repeated eediocy while ignoring significant inputs I am impacting. I Av repeatedly stated my stance on such. I don't need any input from u to declare that some line items needs to be expunged as it's done worldwide. That is why I don't enjoy being civil with ur kind.


Demdem:


Stop being crafty and read up the line items all together. We Av a lot geared towards infrastructural development.
For instance, in the year 2015, Jonah-daft budget spent just 50 billion naira for power, works and housing while over 85% went to recurrent. But in this year proposal, General Buhari is proposing over 450 billion naira for the same sector. Far more percentage is going to capital than last year. What does that tell u? That is serious change for ur info and to those that Av eyes. Even at that, I Av repeatedly stated that some line items in the proposed budget needs to be expunged.

This Dullardino Bubu should be removed from government. I never voted for him so I do not know how he got to be president. This happens only when you have an illiterate in power. Thank God they are not blaming the 2016 budget on Jonathan.

Buhari should be very cautious of the activities of those surrounding him. It is a greater disservice to be pursuing rats while goats in the house are eating your yams.

From the comparison between GEJ and PMB budgets, It is very clear that, under Buhari, the budget office is out to siphon the nations meagre resources. Buhari can not convince Nigerians and the world that Nigeria is broke with this elephant budget padded with "chopping" money.

I recommend that Buhari withdraw that budget and amend accordingly to suite our present economic situation.

Domestic Budget for Aso Villa has Changed from 580 M to 1.7 B. That's about 100% change.

And they are blaming the past administration for looting the treasury dry. Now, there is no money to implement, the budget of "CHANGE".

Greetings Comrade.








correction, it is more than 100percent increase!

I can't crucify the execuive FG on this budget without assessing the budget, comparing it with the previous budget + supplementary budget. I also need to allow the originators of the budget defend their budget with respect to the figures.

Budgets are estimates which should eventually be compared with the actuals at the end of the period. We hardly do that comparism periodically, we hardly have updates on the actuals.

The figures you are quoting on internet may not be correct. There may also be additional information for every expenditure item listed on the budget. So we should not argue or debate blindly.

I told my frnds buhari wasnt ready for governance, leave all these initial gragra he is doing abt dasuki stuff, na pay back to what he suffered in his hands during ibb coup.
back to the crux of the matter, we all know oil price is down n will keep going down till heaven put a halt. the govt of the day is talking tough abt diversification, we all know the other sector apart from oil that can bring us forex is agriculture, solid minerals etc. now lets ask ourselves how much is budgetted for agriculture in that bill?
thr is no money n these people still hv d guts to budget a whooping 500billion naira for school feeding, whr will the food come from? wont thr still import these food at the expense of our reserve n also enriching other countries workforce?
why not channel the 500billion naira for agriculture..... n scrap that white elephant school feeding rubbish cos we all know its only the north that will benefit from that feeding.
upon say they steal, re steal the budget, work n rework it, they still couldnt effect small change in it, these guys are all super hyper dummies!
