No be today our dubious lawmakers dey siphon our money for themselves in the name of budget padding, e don tay since 1999. That's why if there's one thing you have to admire President Muhammadu Buhari for, its his courage in the face of adversity. Amending the Appropriation Act may not be illegal but was it moral? Is moral to cut back funding on projects key to national growth like;

* the completion of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway,
* the East-West road, the 2nd Niger Bridge,
* the Mambilla Plateau power project

in favour of frivolous and mundane activities like buying grinding machines, motorcyles and building VIP toilets? Can you see the legislators we voted into the 8th National Assembly in 2015? Did you know the National Assembly padded its own budget with a whooping N14.5bn from N125bn to N139.5bn? Just like that?!

In a nation where some are struggling to feed, businesses are suffering and lives being lost on bad roads, our lawmakers are padding the budget so they can continue living lavishly after collecting N13.5million monthly for operational costs. Have you seen any constituency project completed in your area since 1999 when our lawmakers have been collecting billions in constituency allowances? Fellow Nigerians, isn't it high time we asked our lawmakers on whose side they are on? What do you think?

The lawmakers are really dubious, imagine ignoring the role of the executives and altering the budget. This act would be talked about for years.
