Fact is politics in Nigeria is measured with the amount of money one wishes out....
Sorry to note that PDP have lost its opportunity to be a voice for opposition all thanks to gov wike

That is no longer true since kwaropshun-fighting barawo bubu and his 40 thieves cabal of the All Poverty Congress, APC got into power two years ago.

Firefire:

‘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.

Typical PDP
Classic rig masters
You would thin hey would have learned their lessons by now
But then politicians are all the same
Dirty old bastards switching political parties like pant

This is the final burial of pdp. May his soul rest in pieces.

Congrats to him. They should all join hands​ and work together. I thought Chief Dopkpesi was a popular candidate, it's unfortunate that he lost woefully after touring the whole country!

Politicians and decit. All I see is the Northern ground plan to win election in the South. (President - North, VP South South or South West) It's a good strategy if you ask me.

Honestly, it will be a very difficult task to win PMB (although it's doable), considering the electral act that stipulated ' to win a presidential election, candidate must win 2/3 of all the state of the federation plus the FCT and scored highest numbers of votes'. Yes, PDP will captured SS & SE but to get 2/3 in SW, NW,NC,&NE needs a well planned strategy. If APC can get second position in Anambra election, then 2/3 is possible in Anambra, Imo and Edo.

Pls give full details of the new Executives

So Ekweremadu and Saraki would strugle for Senate President

R.I.P Pdp in the South West...Can't wait for 2019..

How is your life with APC been?

Yorubas are free to vote Buhari again,.....

After all they suffer it most....

sokera:
SW PDP is dead ...

OK!

SouthEastFacts:
The North after endorsing and deceiving Prof Adeniran turned around and abandoned him.

SW Region, after stepping down and choosing Prof Adeniran as a consensus candidate turned around and abandoned their own brother.

Now, our great party is now firmly in the hands of SS/SE/North.

When real money exchanges hands impossible will happen. We are not having democracy yet. Money has destroyed everything.

How can money not destroy everything when you are not a member of a political party using your own saved money to fund its activities?
Do you think that they will use stones to run the party ni

TonyeBarcanista:
This is a victory to PDP and Nigeria!!!


Though I'm still in Eagles Square...

UP Secondus

Whoever keeps you as a friend should be very careful, I mean very very careful.

I can still remember your post about SDP, how you talk bad against PDP, rubbishing the party and now you say, you're in the Eagles Square, doing what if i may ask?


Hmmm, let me say you're now a politician, you're only doing what politicians in Nigeria knows how to do best right?

IkpuMmadu:


Did Jonathan win in South West ? Not getting votes ...all southern states delivered Jonathan but South West didn't deliver Jonathan and the APC also told South West that they aren't instrumental to their winning

You're sick . you actually expect SW to vote for Jonathan after he betrayed their trust ? What are his achievements in the SW that will warrant another vote? you guys are far behind in this game . Are you guys not about to start asslicking the same gworo chewing northerner now ?

Don't u realize that his name is secondus, Pdp under his leadership might becoming runner up, in any elective position.

OsuCries:
I hope PDP isn't expecting anything from the SW. This is an easy win for Buhari.

I thought south westerners were more intelligent that this!
So u mean because of common party chairmanship slot u will excuse buhari and his poor performance?
Don't forget the position of the party chairman become almost impotent with the emergence of the president from the party.

Duru009:
South west will get the vice-presidential slot which will be Fayose!!

Someone that is thinking.....PDP have backroom plans to recover the presidency. And I see the vice president going to the SW.

The APC should as a matter of fact give the vice presidency to the SE or SS in order to have a chance....if the pdp plans goes ahead.

IkpuMmadu:


Oga...it's not a blaming...Igbo aren't marginalised because they still get their allocation and mind you the work in second niger bridge is on and work is going in federal roads....and let's be honest ...though Igbo are in opposition, the APC have given them more than the Yoruba to placate them look at CBN is an Igbo man, look at Oil and Gas , Igbo man and other very important minsitry like health etc ...so that's the game....we make you uncomfortable till you bend....and Mark my word APC would so bend that they would give us more


That's the bargaining chip bro....it's called Igbo sense

Do you mind narrating how you bent GEJ too? And what that brought to your zone? Or was it the case of awason?
