This is the reason why they abhor the practice of true federalism like a plague because it will be the end of the 97℅ & 5℅ dichotomy as stated by emperor bubu which has been in effect for decades. A story will be told someday when all these BS final comes to an end. 1 Like 1 Share |

Why must FG punish the people of Ekiti State? Just a few million - that's all from FG. Fayemi should be bold as Amaechi to help his State draw from the federal purse. His second term is still an achievable vision.. |

Buhari is a scammer. The SE capital budget allocation for 2016 budget was not used for anything useful for SE. Now they just quoted another money they will use to buy themselves mansions overseas. |

DaudaAbu: Anambra and Enugu are part of SE. We would rather look at what the entire SE got, in comparison to what other geo political zones got. So, this your attempt at masking the injustice going on with huge allocation to SW, by isolating Anambra and Enugu that got the lion share of SE allocation is DOA. |
