8 Out Of 10 Nigerians Wants The National Assembly To Reconvene by afroniger: 7:35am On Aug 16, 2018
Eight out of 10 Nigerians who responded to a Daily Trust survey wants the National Assembly to reconvene before the end of their annual recess.
The National Assembly had on the 24th of July embarked on a two month annual recess but several calls has been made for them to reconvene before the end of their recess in September so as to attend to issues including 2019 general election budget.

A total of 452 respondents took part in the survey which closed on August 13, 2018 on the Daily Trust website.

Eighty per cent which makes up 362 respondents said they want the national assembly to reconvene before the end of their annual recess.
However, 72 respondents making up 16 per cent said that the national assembly should end their annual recess before reconvening while 18 respondents which makes up the 4 per cent were "indifferent" as to whether the national assembly should reconvene or not before the end of their annual recess.

Yes that's true, most of us just want to know why inec needs N6bn to feed policemen for two days election, when the total number of NPF is less than 500k officers, this means each officer would feed with 12k each from the igp to the rank and file, we also want to know what kind of animals those police need N350m to feed, are they the same police dogs and horses that we rarely see?
We also want to know why they quickly wanted the budget passed when they all know the nass was going on annual recess

That is obvious definitely.

SARAKI IS GONE!
Analyzing his body language for the past few days, We see a man who is giving life a final push for survival.
Akpabio's decamping is one of the strongest blows that have destroyed the foundation he has been standing on.
Akpabio is very rich, and he is a political principality that no A list politician has summoned the courage to criticize or mock his defection.
Every senator is negotiating for 2019, there is a limit they can follow Saraki. They won't follow Saraki at the expense of their 2019 interests.
He doesn't trust the Senators in his camp again, he is now running from Minna to Abeokuta, this move is a move of desperation and drowning man. If he is in charge, he won't make such moves within days.

Dogara is finding it difficult to decamp, because it is near impossibility for him to fly PDP in Bauchi and win his constituency, with the current sentiments on ground.
You would be surprised that many PDP Senators are negotiating with APC in secrets.
Saraki doesn't have the support of the power that be, his camp has been compromised by their 2019 selfish interests.
The INEC budget is putting him under pressure to reconvene, if not his foes are fast convincing Nigerians that he is the one on their way of progress.
With what happened to DG DSS, nobody in government would want to associate with him in secret again, he has lost a big grip.
He has lost every negotiating tool for soft landing. With or without him, the power that be can hijack the clerk to reconvene using INEC budget passage as excuse, to flush him out.
We see the end of Saraki, not just at the Senate, but also in Kwara.
He is really in a tight corner!

For the other ones, they are nothing but BUNCH of losers.
Sai Baba.
Sai Buhari.
GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT.

I saw some PDP fan share his thoughts on things Saraki revealed when declaring his interest to run for president, and one of the things he claimed Saraki revealed was A BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT SHUTTING DOWN ANOTHER BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.

That left me scratching my head as to who this "branch of government" that shut down another is. I mean, shouldnt that be Saraki himself?

Saraki single-handedly shut down the Senate and has decided to hold the entire nation to ransom all for his selfish interest.

The supplementary budget is there unattended to. That of INEC is yet to be considered. These things have direct impact on our socioeconomic well-being and national security respectively. If elections are not conducted due to lack of funds, the same Saraki fanboys who've been egging him on in this blatant show of shame would be the first to accuse APC and Buhari of unwillingness to promote and safeguard democratic processes.

Let those overfed men maintain their "vigil" at the gates of the NASS and stay action on its closure. Maybe in the end, na ordinary Nigerians go show them who dem papa be.

452 respondents?

Despite that the senate would reconvene in its own time to vet through that Inec budget. It does not make sense as a budget from INEC was passed since January to the presidency which did nothing to it up untill a day to NASS recess? Even while the 2018 budget was passed before that.

Lets stop defending incompetence..

Total number of policemen is less than 100k.

Eating Chinese in Victoria Island costs less than 6K inclusive of VAT. If they feed the policemen expensive Chinese food for a week, 100k policemen can't finish 12 billion on food.

That money is not for policemen food, it's for bribing them to look the other way.

Why did the presidency delay the submission of the INEC budget? Are they not aware of the legislative calendar? For me they should not reconvene after all the president is on "recess" too � � �

Funny! You ask questions like a lay man.
Anyway, that is not the question senators care to get its answers. The senators will like to know what their share will be from the sums. Only mor0ns will believe the senators gives a dam about how huge the amount is. Just wait to hear that the total amount have been added up by 2billion or so.

Funny enough you are one of those the presidency is using to fight the legislature. Well they have succeeded in making you think that the legislature is against you but that's not true.
And if the amount is increased the one who will implement will not get his share?

Stop exposing your ignorance here.The law says, if there are urgent National assignments , that needs to be attended to, such as National Security threats, budget approval for urgent matters, the Senate must call off the recess.The UK Parliament works even on Sundays to attend to National issues. Theresa May, David Cameron were both on Holidays in Italy and Spain. When both cut short their holidays to attend to National issues in UK years back.This will be the 3rd time, this year alone they are going on recess. And they have another 34 days as from November again to go on another recess.Out of 365 days in a year, they convey less than 159days. Don't be an ignorant because of the tribal and political affiliation. Parliament that works 24hrs round the clock in UK does not get 1/4 of what the rogues here in Nigeria Senate are getting as Salary and allowances despite all they do here is nay have it.

which one is tribal affiliation here ,for your information I am not a Muslim but straight christian .
The day the senate President called for reconvening on inec budget issue what did we have? DSS and police invading the senate and making impeaching saraki their agenda.

Will the London and Theresa may whom you quoted there have carried out such barbarity?

Just two days ago the senate was to reconvene o discuss the issue but most of the Muslim senators couldn't attend due to the hajj program in mecca.
When responding to peoples position do that with an unbiased mind and stop exhibiting ignorance .

INEC SECURITY BUDGET OF 6bn

300,000 security personnel.
30 days election period.
6 billion budget.

6, 000, 000, 000/300, 000=20, 000

That's 20k per security personnel

20k divided by 30 days
That's N660 per day.

This is poor pay if you ask me, but because we're used to propaganda we usually ignore the maths..."--Efe Okopsio.

Not everything is politics.

For those who have been questioning the budget, can we know if there was provision for security welfare in the previous elections' expenses? To a great extent, this will take the welfare of police personnel away from local politicians and probably reduce the tendencies for compromise.

Before you raise air or compare, please always endeavor to get details.
