I'm a stunch Buhari supporter and I must say that he started on a wrong note especially in delay of appointing ministers. If Buhari had appointed ministers on time,they(ministers) would have had enough time to prepare the budget and make necessary amendments and corrections How can you win Election in march, sworn in in may and then appoint ministers in November and in few weeks later, you submitted budget and you expect a 100 percent clean budget? Disclaimer..... I supported Buhari becos jonathan wasn't an option.if jonathan had done well, Why will I give my support to Buhari? So even if Buhari dies today which I don't pray for, I will blame jonathan becos if he had done well, Buhari's name would have gone into oblivion while jonathan will be enjoying his second term peacefully! 99 Likes 10 Shares |

These 'Legislooters' are struggling hard to save their faces by being defensive and offensive at the same time amidst the exposition of their selfish and unscrupulous dispositions. The right question to ask is that, are those NASS committee members not part of the assembly of the whole? Consider this mathematics and judge for yourself if you feel anything good can out of the NASS; Out of 476 members 2 were indicted in the Panama papers scandal whereas a nation of 170m only about 4 non politicians were involved so far. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

modath: Truth be told, the project is a laudable proposal and should be supported by all and sundry. The controversy generated by non inclusion of Lagos - Calabar rail line in the budget sterns from the initial blame game targeted at PDP Senators and by extension SS/SE regions for either not doing enough or were outrightly antagonistic to supporting it because of their hatred for Amaechi which invariably was never the truth. Secondly, by absorbing APC Senators from Southwest of the same heat targeted at SS/SE Senators actually divided the entire South while the Northern Oligarchy plotted the imbalance and calculated marginaliztion aimed at developing the North at the expense of the South by channeling the floating N56 billion meant for Lagos - Cal rail line to Kano - Lagos aimed at completing Northern route in the shortest possible time and consequently killing off Southern route by depriving it of needed funding. As it relates to the quote you highlighted. I support PDP's stance on the controversy because Nigeria can't continue in Economy hibernation and without budget into mid second quarter of 2016. Let the President sign the budget and forward the said project immediately as a supplementary budget unless APC knows what I don't know, which is, Buhari's lack of interest on the later hence I pitch my tent on APC stance. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

So they would rather not see the project included than see it executed. Already, they have shared the money to other projects that was not captured or that has already been budgeted for 4 Likes 1 Share |

LadyExcellency: You killed it, buried it & given it a befitting "owanbe" with this here... This here sums up my position!!! We can't let "them" keep us down & out or use the welfare of the citizens to settle political scores! The controversy generated by non inclusion of Lagos - Calabar rail line in the budget sterns from the initial blame game targeted at PDP Senators and by extension SS/SE regions for either not doing enough or were outrightly antagonistic to supporting it because of their hatred for Amaechi which invariably was never the truth. I, in my personally capacity, never absolved anyone of blame, they are in cahoots, however political/caucus affiliation & sectional divide is what is esentially strangulating the inclusion... where there is COHESION + WILL, getting a bypass to make one's WAY out of the thickest of forests will be like child's play. while the Northern Oligarchy plotted the imbalance and calculated marginaliztion aimed at developing the North at the expense of the South by channeling the floating N56 billion meant for Lagos - Cal rail line to Kano - Lagos aimed at completing Northern route in the shortest possible time and consequently killing off Southern route by depriving it of needed funding. Nothing was floating, if you recall, this budget was termed "budget of errors", why then are people only picking from the buffet table of bias what they will "allow" their primordial sentiments can construe as "errors" in this budget, Why is it then difficult to "assume" or even look the other way & "agree" it was an afterthought, then "insist" the south can't be left out cold! The northerners saw a gap, exploited it, drove another big wedge into it & took home the spoils of war! Can't fault them for it, we claim to be bookish, they don't argue with us, they will employ cunny & street smarts to achieve their objectives! Shebi our people watched while both chambers Appropriation comm heads were given to the northerners? Issokay! As it relates to the quote you highlighted. I support PDP's stance on the controversy because Nigeria can't continue in Economy hibernation and without budget into mid second quarter of 2016. Let the President sign the budget and forward the said project immediately as a supplementary budget You really believe we can find another "floating aimlessly" couple of billions to finance this? Our Legislathieves know exactly what they are doing! They took from 4bn from Min of health vaccine budget & gave to CCB, changed infrastructures development fund to Keke Marwa constituency project fund! unless APC knows what I don't know, which is, Buhari's lack of interest on the later hence I pitch my tent on APC stance. Buhari's lack of interest?? Nah, not true. Agreed he made the 5% speech which was totally uncalled for & not very charitable, this rail line benefits the south west as well & who would throw away an opportunity given on a platter of platinum to solidify his political base?

These legislators can't be serious if they think they can escape with this one. How can you say you saw 54billion "floating" in a budget that is barely enough and then pushed it into the Lagos - Kano rail and constituency projects. And they want the executive to leave it that way and then send a supplementary budget. Where will the money come from to finance such a massive project. These guys must be mad! They are bent on looting money regardless of the government in power. They have done it so much that they think it is their right. And just so they know we haven't forgotten about the 4 billion that was pushed to CCB to bribe them for Saraki. Like really who do these people think they are dealing with? 19 Likes 1 Share |

“However, it will be recalled that the Budget Office made a number of errors in the initial proposals of a number of ministries. These errors were all corrected by the Ministry of Budget and National Planning and the corrected versions were submitted to the relevant committees of the National Assembly. This included that of the Ministry of Transportation. “The amended Ministry of Transportation budget was accepted by the relevant committees and that was the version defended by the Minister of Transportation and his team." For all those who said it was Hon. Amaechi's fault. Can you see that it was not his fault? 3 Likes 1 Share |

to me I wont really blame the legislooters for this controversy but most of the blame is channelled to buhari n his executive. had it been he scrutinised the proposed bill, send it to the ministers to cross check for errors n omissions if at all there was that project in the proposed bill, before the final presentation to the NASS. so 80percent of the blame goes to buhari, his ministers n apc. 2 Likes |

Oh my God! Are we cursed in this country or not! The National Assembly is the worst institution to ever happen to Nigeria. They have repeatedly frustrated every true developmental projects over the decades, and it's all because of their personal, financial and ethnic interests. There is no institution more divided and more destructive than the National Assembly. I feel it should be scrapped and reconstituted! 2 Likes |
