The Speaker of Bauchi State House of Assembly, Abubakar Suleiman, says budget padding is legal. Suleiman, who said this yesterday while presenting the approved 2020 Appropriation Bill to Governor Bala Mohammed for assent, said budget padding meant legislative adjustment to ensure fairness and equity for all within the budget.

“As legislators, when the governor presented the draft estimate of the budget, we studied the draft and in the process of working on the proposal, we made adjustments and moved some amounts to some other sectors, this is what some call as padding, anyway, padding is legal,” he said.

The speaker assured the governor that the house would continue to synergise with the executive in the implementation of the budget and other programmes so as to develop the state. He thanked the governor for personally signing  letters of commendation sent to all the 31 lawmakers.

Femi Falana: Dear Attorney Malami, pursuant to your constitutional powers, please order the release of Sowore.

Attorney Malami: Dear Falana, I have no powers anywhere to release Sowore. Sowore is held lawfully.

US: Having observed the human rights abuses in Nigeria, we hereby designate Nigeria as a country where human rights do not exist. We are sending representatives to witness the trial of Sowore henceforth.

Femi Adeshina: US should go to hell. No one has appointed US as the World Police. Nigeria is a sovereign nation, operating her own laws.
Buhari: This Femi Adeshina will put me in trouble. Who send this guy to run mouth like this? Attorney Malami, do something.

Attorney Malami: Pursuant to my constitutional powers as the AGF and following the order of Court to release Sowore, I hereby order his release with immediate effect.
Note that the Constitution was amended last night to give Attorney Malami the powers he denied he had.

Note also that the Court Order to release Sowore was made last night
Note finally that the US has not even acted. Her representatives just granted Press interview
Oh sorry, note finally finally that we are the GIANT of Africa, a country led by a GENERAL
