Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole on Tuesday decried the budget padding allegation rocking the Senate.

Oshiomhole lamented that the Senate has been striped naked in the market place.

He spoke on the floor of the Senate while contributing to the debate on the N3.7 trillion budget allegation raised by Bauchi Central Senator, Abdul Ningi.

Ningi, who is the Chairman of Northern Senators Forum, had alleged that the National Assembly debated and passed N25 trillion as 2024 budget and not the N28.7 trillion that is being implemented by the Federal Government.

He made the allegation while speaking in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service.

According to Oshiomhole: “We have been stripped naked in the market place, so we can’t now wrap it up like it’s nothing

“He has made credible contributions in this Senate so I think he can still remedy it having agreed that something went wrong.

“What was the figure in the Appropriation Bill that was approved? Somebody answered N28 billion, therefore, any suggestion that it was N25 billion is simply a lie.

“The problem of trying to defend a lie is that you have to stick to more lies to defend lies

“Ningi has a duty to his children that he will not be the man reported in the media as saying what is not true.”

There is need for revolution and the first of people that should kiss the earth are the senators and house of rep people..

All filled with Thieves... A gathering of thieves from all geopolitical zone of the country..

All these efforts is to cover up themselves and not even to do the right thing.

Who chop you?

E go reach everybody

Akpabio is next

Something I still don't understand in this budget padding is that does that mean the president don't go through the documents sent to NASS for approval before signing it ni or what? Someone should please explain

This is the time for Lp senators to come out and clear thẹ air.... Make dem no fold, we are behind them.

Just come out and tell us the truth

Thank you Oshiomole for sticking with the side of truth.

The Nigerian Senate as we know it has always been an association of grossly corrupt bedfellows who see the yearly national budget as a free-for-all feast where they can ravenously gobble up our commonwealth.

We all know the senator is not merely hallucinating.
Unfortunately for him, he chose the wrong moment to go against the hawks and hyenas prowling our political space.

Divide 3.7 trillion into billions and millions and think about what this money would achieve if it is spent for the good of the masses.

The money padded into the budget alone is enough to revamp a moribund section of this country be it security, food, education, power and housing et cetera but ungodly men would rather spend it on parties, whores, mansions no one would live in and the next election.

All in all, Nigeria will one day be free from the stranglehold of these jackals, including their lickspittle minions who daily defend their atrocious lifestyle for plates of pottage.

That day will surely come.

After all this has been said and done
We may, unashamed, move on
as though this never happened
nor anyone ever spoke of it.

This country nawa o

Nigeria jaga-jaga, senators arm rubber, poor man dey sufer-sufer gbosa-gbosa

Okay.

Senate don chop senators

'

They have always been naked in the eyes of the entire nation.

They only have been deceiving themselves, thinking that no one sees the rot there.

What else is to be said when a large chunk of them have looting cases. A lot of them are not even able to make meaningful contributions that will help the nation move forward.

Yeye people.

Thank you Adams for saying the truth for the first time.

Shameless, thieving rogues.

... it's nothing new nah, poor masses are used to defending legislooters and politicians who steal and plunder our treasury....

...the prisoner loves his chains now, he has gotten used to it... we'll rather fight anyone that tries to liberate us from our colourful chains....let the political office holders loot on undisturbed, the masses are behind them cheering

There has always been budget paddling in the Senate. Nothing new. But it appears the north is poised for war due to the current scheme of things. More political explosion in the coming weeks.

I have a story for you guys👌

Very soon this issue would die and other news item would be used to keep Nigerians busy

As usual, nothing would come out of it

People wen don hammer don hammer

Oshiomole speak the truth with your full chest. It's a shame that some men are still soaked in the sea of embezzlement in these days, all because EFCC is not working.
