Afamed:

But that sham included the senatorial seat won by PDP ( Adeleke) in Osun state just last year and another HoR won by same PDP in Oyo state. Except you have another definition for sham

Definition of sham is when your preferred part did not win

Waste of resources! No need! Just share that money!
If you know you know

We can rest now....

So they should remain idle and not do anything

1. They should review the expenses.
2. Decline his request for deficit financing. It will be used on elections

thatigboman:

He is the executive, the executor who disburses and supervises.

The Senate yesterday approved the sum of N189,207,544,893 as budgetary allocation to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the conduct of the 2019 general election.

The chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation, Senator Danjuma Goje, announced this yesterday during a meeting on the submission of harmonised report of INEC 2019 general election supplementary budget estimates.

The Senate committee will lay the harmonised INEC budget report at plenary today (Thursday).

Goje explained that INEC was allocated the sum of N143,512,529,455 as recommended by President Muhammadu Buhari for the 2019 general election expenditure as amount needed for 2018, while the balance of N45,695,015,438 was requested for appropriation under 2019 budget.

LEADERSHIP recalls that President Muhammadu Buhari had on 11th July, 2018, requested from the Senate an approval of the total sum of N242,445,322,600.00 to fund the 2019 general election.

Buhari’s request was contained in a letter addressed to the National Assembly which was read by the president of the Senate, Bukola Saraki.

Buhari had explained that out of a total of N242,445,322,600.00 requested to fund the 2019 general election, the sum of N164,104,792,065.00 was to be sourced through virement in the 2018 budget, while the remaining balance of N78,340,530,535.00 was to be provided for in the 2019 budget.

Specifically, Buhari stated that INEC would be allocated N189,207,544,893.00; Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), N4,281,500,000.00; Department of State Services (DSS); N12,213,282,455.00; Civil Defence, N3,573,534,500.00; Nigeria Police Force, N30,541,317,432.00, and Nigeria Immigration Service, N2,628,143,320.00.

However, the federal lawmakers had proceeded on annual recess from July and was unable to consider and approve the supplementary budget.

Yesterday, a new letter by Buhari to the Senate seeking approval for funding of the 2019 elections with the sum of N242,445,322,600 was read by Senate President Bukola Saraki in plenary.

The President, in the letter dated September 19, 2018, said: “You may recall that in my letter dated 11th July, 20189 I requested for the kind consideration of the National Assembly for a virement under the 2018 appropriation Act.

Part of this request was for the funding of the requests made by INEC and security agencies for the 2019 general elections.

“When the minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, appeared before the joint committee of the NASS set up to consider my request, he was informed that the NASS would be writing to consider accommodating the total amount required for funding of the 2019 elections as part of the virements of the 2018 Appropriation Act, provided there was a specific request made by me.

“In the light of the current realities, and in order to ensure that the 2019 general elections are not affected by any delays in the passage into law of the 2019 Budget, I accept this kind suggest. I therefore wish to formally request that total amount of N242,445,322,600.00 requested by INEC and the security agencies be considered for inclusion in my virement request under the 2018 Appropriation Act.”

Meanwhile, the Senate committee on appropriation yesterday invited the inspector-general of police, the national security adviser (NSA), the DG of DSS, comptroller-general of Nigeria Immigration Service, and the commandant-general of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps to appear before it today.

While making the announcement, Senator Goje said the agencies were invited to come and defend their various budgetary allocations.

There are strong indications that some lawmakers may work against the ratification of INEC budget when it would finally be presented in plenary today by the appropriation committee.

Good one by saraki and patriots
Don't allow the Federal looters prevail

Even though the money is still massive

Idiot where is your source? Stop lying

Really, so what is the estimated cost to expend on each electorate?

NairaMaster1:


Even if Atiku is a direct descendant of Lucifer and a cousin to the devil himself and best friends with Judas, we will try him.Even if he is a paternal uncle to Cain, a distant cousin to Achan, Ananias and Saphira , an elder brother to Pharaoh, a nephew to Herod, Delilah's boyfriend or Portipher's wife's ex-boyfriend, we will still try him. If he ends up like "baba nepotism, recession, 5 percent and 95 percent stereotyping", we will vote him out in 2023. We will keep voting out any error till we get the real deal.Aso rock is nobody's permanent inheritance. We have tried Mr Saint and have seen what he stands for.For now, someone should just get set to focus on raising cows in Daura.

Lmao . Who mentioned anything like Atiku or Buhari?
Clown!

Did you estimate an increase in voter population, increase in election sophistication and the increase in the foreign exchange rate before posting the screen shot or must you just complain because complaints are fashionable even if they are unnecessary ?

senseless

If Buhari acted this way with every major sector in Nigeria, when He knows he would contest for a second term in office, what do you think he will do when he knows He is no longer going to solicit for votes again. Think my people..... Think
