The National Assembly Joint Committee on Electoral Matters on Monday rejected the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) proposed budget of N189 billion, urging the electoral body to revert to the initial N143 billion earlier submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The lawmakers stated this after a closed-door meeting of the Joint Committee chaired by Senator Suleiman Nazif (APC, Bauchi).

Nazif, who read out the resolution of the Joint Committee to newsmen in Abuja, said, "As you are aware, our last meeting was held on August 17.

"We decided to resume today August 27, to consider the harmonised budget of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

"The Joint Committee has sat and we have deliberated a position to adopt the N143 billion earlier presented to us by President Muhammadu Buhari.

"It is the wish of this Committee that INEC present the N143 billion as requested by Mr. President.

"This Committee therefore adjourns and will reconvene tomorrow by 1 pm to consider the N143bn INEC budget."

Saraki's effect

Their father

Their real father

By the time Theresa May declare support for Saraki on Wednesday

Many people will be taken aback

Please don't ask me why she will declare support for him

After all, we all know that Saraki is:

Hmmm, if these rigmaroles and internal brouhaha will actually help make our legislooters/executhieves counter and balance each other out for the sanity and betterment of the nation and its finances, they should keep up the fight abeg. We are loving it.

Check out my signature to the story of how I walked to and fro Europe and back from Nigeria.

Ok saraki you know what to do.

Thank God Saraki is not their "Yes Man" if not na so money go jus dey pass for senate without anybody to check the excesses.............. Na so e suppose be ie checks and balances

What's the difference

We all know that more than 50% of the budget is going to their personal accounts. So why should i have headache thinking of the ingredients to add to the beans to fry

Radarada oshi

#46 billion excess is a lot of money

The reason they want saraki out so that they can install a rubber stamp assembly that will approve every crooked fund they present while the fake anti corruption crusader pretends as if he doesn't know what is happening.

What's the difference, will it stop underaged voting, will it stop vote buying?

I really see no difference

i repeat
saraki is the best senate president since democracy

kiss the truth
in a saner clime Oshiomole will be a mai shoe to saraki while Buhari will be mai guard

Trouble looming. Mine is whatever they are fighting over, the masses will pay for it at the end of the day be it good or bad. So keep taking sides with either Buhari or Saraki that have secured the lives of their grandchildren generations to the 13th generation.

God Bless Saraki......

Saraki's effect??

Watch how they tag the SP into this.

Sarakification.





Oshiomhole what do u Av to say?






NASS must be reopened, because rats will eat the chairs

You guys talk as if it is Saraki. That will decide. APC has the majority in the two chambers.. When you now pin rejected budget to Saraki which is just one person with one vote.

Gengen, another twist

Even that 143b is still too much.
