2019 polls funds: PDP, senators oppose Buhari’s request for virement John Ameh, Olusola Fabiyi and Leke Baiyewu The Peoples Democratic Party has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of seeking what it described as surreptitious ploys to frustrate the conduct of the 2019 general elections. Buhari, in a letter he wrote to the National Assembly on Tuesday, requested a total virement of N228.8bn, largely allocated to new projects “inserted” in the 2018 budget by the National Assembly to offset part of the proposed cost of funding the 2019 general elections.

These wailing against buhari as a tyrant on social media especially nairaland doesn't actually represent the views of Nigerians on buhari. Buhari is not an angel but I think we would rather have a buhari than ny other Nigerian regular politician |
