The headline is simply sensational and a figment of the imagination of the editors of cable news. The president was not misled and nothing in the piece above suggested that he was misled. He simply gave an anticipatory approval and he stated it clearly in his letter to the national assembly.

We had a deadline to beat and considering that we've been negotiating for this military equipment since the time of Jonathan, the presidents decision is the only patriotic option available. The money was paid directly into US governments treasury and not to middle men. That alone brings some level of confidence that corruption is not involved. It would have been worrying if cash was loaded on to a private jet and flown illegally to middle men in US as it was done during the Jonathan days.

It is now left for the national assembly to regularise the procurement by including it in the 2018 appropriation act that is still before them as requested by the president.

Stop dribbling like a child would saliva.

This thread is about the ECA give a position and stop looking for my attention.

Which of his critics have you asked to pipe down on their constant vilification?

Let me guess ..zilch.

Stick to the matter at hand.

The ECA has been in operation since OBJ Yes or no?

Did any of the other presidents seek legislative consent before spending from the ECA?

Where were the insults reigned on them when they didn't?

Who threatened them with impeachment when they did?

When you give all these answers I would take you as a Nigerian who is truly concerned about the nation and not someone who has an insidious agenda.

Till then, you are same of the same.

I can't help but laugh as you sell your future away, this government that immediately approved half a billion $ for jets budgeted just over a billion $ for education and you are trying to sound smart, the irony

Hypocrite.

Can you study if there's the threat of kidnap or suicide bombing?

Just say you want the government to fail so you can gave something to gloat at.

In addition, speak about the ECA which is the topic of discussion and save your sermon for the Sunday school.

Hypocrite.

7% for the education of a the Nigerian youth is a sign of a failed government,
An insurgency inside an insurgency is a sign of a failed government
Your claim on the ECA is that Johnathan did it, wasn't the president elected because he promised to be everything Johnathan wasn't?
It's 3 years and you are still clinging on to Johnathan, PDP rubbish,
Another regime bites the dust without electricity or plans for the teeming youth
But hey you gotta get paid, it's tough out there

Been waiting for your response since I provided Falana's quote.

What happened?

Would be slightly hypocritical if you had said anything wouldn't it?

Hypocritical about what?
The link you provided wouldn't open. I wanted to read it first before responding. After several attempts I gave up.
Perhaps network issues.
I will try to open the link again.

How convenient.

Hypocrite.

it suits you now to say Jonathan's perhaps wasn't the best.

Hypocrite the ECA has been in use for at least 14 years. Please show me one line you wrote for it to be done away with.

Hypocrite.

if you were slightly concerned about the educational sector wouldn't you put pressure on the Assembly to pass the budget as little as it is?

Where has your voice been all along?

Who cares about Johnathan and all the APC PDP crap they deceive you with, sowore2019, Im not on your old school gravy train, I see in one of your prior replies you quotes sahara reporters #takeitback

StaffofOrayan:
Hahaha blame me for your illiterate president giving the education sector the same amount for military jets, and then go abroad and say the youth are uneducated LMAO keep digging your kids would vote for Buhari's kids

Paperwhite:
Buhari remains a disgrace. Them sware for this president ni Guess it not another "Buhari is not aware syndrome"? Was buck passing really the reason why this failure of man was elected as president?
So unfortunate the NASS only fights when its selfish interests are @ stake otherwise Buhari should by now not only have been impeached but cooling/shinning his ass in jail.
This act of corruption perhaps may be responsible for the failed attempt to change the leadership of the Senate last week in order to get their rubberstamp stooges in place.
Sai baba zombies what sayeth you guys.Guess the man is still making the work difficult?

GavelSlam:


I'm for good governance and do not give a Shi.t about APC. I am however convinced [b]Buhari as an individual is doing as best any incorruptible man would do.

I have the right to quite any media that appeals to me.

Sowore is a good man and I would support him had Buhari not been in the equation.

Supporting him however would be supporting PDP because Sowore cannot win and would only dilute APC votes.

People like you would end up voting PDP at the polls and I am not fooled.

Hypocrite take care .[/b]

--Human rights lawyer and activist, Barrister Femi Falana, has urged the National Assembly to investigate the unconstitutional withdrawal of $496million from the excess crude account (ECA) by President Muhammadu Buhari.


The presidency had confirmed that Buhari gave anticipatory approval for the withdrawal $496million to the United States to pay for Tucano Aircrafts.

Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, said, “Since 1999, anticipated approvals have been the order of the day.

“Presidents (Olusegun) Obasanjo, (Umaru) Yar’Adua and (Goodluck) Jonathan were alleged to have spent N1.5trillion without parliamentary approval. We thought that that era had gone for good.

“The National Assembly should investigate the withdrawal with a view to stopping the executive”.

The above is the article in your link.

First of all , let me award your a 'D' for effort. After much prodding, you have at least made an effort, albeit a feeble one , to show a reference.

However, if the Sahara report article is your proof, then I am sorry to inform you that you didn't pass the test.

Let's put on our critical thinking helmets and analyse the article.
The key part of the article quotes Femi Falana as saying that OBJ, Yar'Adua and GEJ WERE ALLEGED to have spent N1.5tr without parliamentary approval.

This is what is considered in common English Comprehension as Heresay or in local parlance, Dem say Dem say.

It doesn't meet the standard test of proof or fact.

ALLEGED by whom ?

Alleged by the a Senate or house investigative committee ?
Alleged by The Auditor General ?
Alleged by the CBN ?

Unless it is publicly alleged by any of these official bodies, your assertion remains nothing but baseless innuendos.

Another hypocrite.

I have provided a fresh link.
If you say Jonathan ever asked the Senate for approval of use of funds from the ECA then you were born a liar and certainly would go as a liar.
