I don't care what happens to whoever.

Saraki is number 3 in Nigeria today.

He deserves attention more than any other person except Buhari and Osinbajo.

You're free to open another thread on any other person you feel should be picked up by EFCC.

Don't muddle this up with the usual fallacy of 'what of Mr X?'

Activa:
I don't know what the EFCC is looking at or doing with the kind of mind-boggling revelations that are coming out from the CCT trial.

Those who submit themselves to high offices should submit themselves for high scrutiny.

You mean a public officer bought a N522m house in 2006?!!!

EFCC should act! Probe the 8-year tenor our dear Senate President spent as as governor in Kwara state.

CCT punishment is not enough at all.

If Jonathan refused to take any decisive action against boko haram when he was the C-in-C then that was his cup of tea, so as you can see my friend, buhari is entirely different from Jonathan.

Democracy cannot flush out these looters because the courts and corrupts judges will always be at their mercy. No matter how hard buhari tries, his efforts will be frustrated by the number one enemy of our nation called "DEMOCRACY AND RULE OF LAW". The likes of badeh, metuh, Dasuki and the rest are still in courts despite obvious evidences of looting perpetuated by them. Nigeria is not ripe for democracy. Our Leaders (Mis-leaders) exploit the loop holes in the law to escape justice. We need a tyrant dictator to fix this nation. I wish we can practice North korea's totalitarian rule for one year which empowers Buhari to be the almighty with no law checking his powers. Then the corrupts elites will flee or be executed on live TV and our dear nation will be saved [/s]

Where is the evidence of the alleged donation? Pictures of cash or check? I think it's time for Buhari to ban social media so there will be secrecy in the affairs of the goverment. social media is a tool for peddling lies and falsehood against change regime of PMB. We all heard when Osinbajo said they have no money to donate because they recieve half salaries. The PDP is full of bloody liars who are obviously pained by the electoral loss of the thief called GEJ. Aisha will never recieve such money at the expense of Kogi workers. Its time to ban the internet and social media in Nigeria cos it seems we are not ripe for it yet

A 73 years old man walking in a snow without Cardigan just to rescue the battered economic status of Nigeria and some senseless people said he travels too much as if he travels for partying or merry making ......
God bless Nigeria.

Budget showdown looms as
Buhari withholds assent by Yusuf Alli, Managing Editor,
Northern Operation/ Yomi Odunuga,
Abuja, April 10, 2016 at 12:15 am in Featured, News • Ministers stop Buhari from signing
‘mutilated’ budget
• NASS tampers with key projects
• FG spots eight key defects in
budget details
• Legislators slash allocations for completion
of major road projects nationwide
• Ministers end scrutiny of details,
send
package to Udoma The Presidency and the Federal
Executive Council (FEC) have
identified eight major ‘assaults’ by
the National Assembly on the 2016
Appropriation Bill sent to President
Muhammadu Buhari last Thursday for his assent, The Nation learnt last
night. The infractions were detected by
the ministers at their Friday’s
emergency meeting called to vet the
budget details. This development is now stalling
the signing into law of the bill by the
President until his return from a
week-long trip to China. But he plans to engage the National
Assembly in talks with a view to
resolving the issues, sources
familiar with the matter said. In contention are funds proposed
by the executive for key
infrastructure projects but which
were either removed from the
budget or slashed drastically by the
National Assembly in the details presented to him. One of these is the Coastal Railway
project which the President plans to
discuss with the Chinese
government during his visit. He is departing Abuja today for
Beijing at the start of the visit. Government earmarked N60billion
counterpart funds for it but the
NASS removed it completely from
the budget details. It was gathered that Buhari had
planned to assent to the
Appropriation Bill yesterday but the
“strategic and fundamental errors/
oversights” in the details may now
delay it by a week. The Presidency also found that the
NASS: *Expunged the Calabar – Lagos rail
line project from the budget details; *Reduced allocation to the
completion Idu-Kaduna rail project
by N8.7b; *Slashed allocations for the
completion of all major road
projects across the country; *Proposed new roads for which
studies have not been conducted; *Dropped proposals for the
purchase of essential drugs for
major health campaigns like Polio
and AIDS; *Cancelled or reduced allocations
for diversification projects under
Agriculture and Water Resources;
and *Diverted funds for rural health
facilities and boreholes for which
provisions had been made
elsewhere. Throwing light on the issue, a well
placed source said: “The National
Assembly transmitted the details to
the President on Thursday, April 7,
2016 and because he was desirous
of giving assent to the Appropriation Bill before leaving for
China, he directed that the Ministers
should review the provisions/
appropriations of their respective
ministry to fast-track the process. “The document was distributed
same Thursday to all ministers and a
meeting was agreed for Friday to
get everything sorted out for the
President’s briefing and assent. That
was why the Vice President, who is the Head of the Economic Team
presided over the meeting and not
the President. “At the meeting, it was noticed that
some very key aspects of the
Budget, which have to do with
government’s core infrastructural
focus were removed. One of which
is the subject of the President’s trip to China – the Coastal Railway
project – for which a counterpart
funding of N60b was provided, but
which was completely removed by
the National Assembly.” The Executive is working on two
major rail arteries, among other rail
projects, to service the northern and
eastern part of the country – the
Lagos-Kano line and the Calabar –
Lagos line. The source said that while the
provision for the Lagos-Kano rail
line was left untouched, the Calabar
– Lagos line was removed entirely. Both projects are to be funded
jointly by China and Nigeria. The
source said that the amount
proposed for the completion of the
Idu-Kaduna rail project which “has
reached an advanced stage was reduced by N8.7b, a development
which will make it difficult for the
project to be completed.” Continuing, the source said: “The
other fundamental area noticed was
in respect of completion of on-
going road projects. While the
Executive had provided for the
completion of all major road projects across the country, the
National Assembly reduced the
amounts provided and instead
included new roads which studies
have not even been conducted. “The amounts provided by the
National Assembly for the projects
can neither complete the on-going
road projects nor the new ones
proposed. At the end of the year no
significant progress would have been made.” Asked of the next step, the source
said: “Because of these
observations, the President is
engaging further with the
leadership of the National Assembly
to resolve them and hopes that it would be resolved by the time he
returns from his trip to China. “The President is desirous of
signing the bill into law so that the
implementation of the provisions
could begin in earnest for the
benefit of the people. “That is why the moment he
received the document on
Thursday, a meeting was convened
for Friday to immediately start work
on it.” Another source in the cabinet said:
“We have all completed the review
of the budget details sent to the
Presidency by the National
Assembly.” All ministers were directed to send
their observations (if any) on their
allocations to the Minister of Budget
and National Planning, Senator Udo
Udoma. The Ministry of Budget and National
Planning will thereafter compile all
observations and comments in line
with the proposals of the Executive
arm and guide the President
accordingly. Another reliable source spoke
yesterday of how ministers and
members of the president’s
economic team stopped him from
signing the ‘mutilated’ budget. The ministers, according to the
source who was at the Friday
meeting, lamented the “reckless
mutilation” of the original
documents which the President
tendered to the National Assembly, noting that the details were clearly
un-implementable. The source disclosed that Buhari,
who had earlier been scheduled to
address the nation after signing the
budget had to call off the broadcast. He said: “All the ministers, aside the
Defence Minister who was a bit
positive about the figures
appropriated for his ministry, totally
kicked against the so called budget
details. “They said it was mutilated beyond
recognition and therefore cannot
be implemented under the present
condition. Notably, the Minister of
Health told the gathering that what
was returned to his ministry was even worse than what he kicked
against when he went to defend the
budget in the National Assembly. “As a matter of fact, the budget
details made nonsense of the
planned visit of the President to
China because the lawmakers
removed that aspect of the loan
completely from the details that were scrutinized by the ministers
yesterday (Friday).” Asked what steps the Presidency
would take next, the source said
two options are open for the
President. He said the documents
may be sent back to the lawmakers
with a detailed note on the mutilation and a call for rectification
or he may be persuaded to sign the
budget and then ask for
modifications.

For those of you who claim PMB is illiterate I'm convince they are also illiterate, and unexposed. The President has the so call graduate in his cabinet why don't they advise him to do something if you feel leadership has to do with Education, search yourself can you lead and control a ward in your local government or control a group assigned to you in your CH.? If your a Christian the Bible says we should pray for our leaders. Choir cordinators,Sunday sch.teachers, pastors,etc. Are you sure your write up or contribution in social media will take you to Heaven. Be careful . 2. Honour your father and your mother so that you will eat the fruit of the Land. Not just your biological parents but those older than you. Just shout up if you can't pray for him.

fctguy:
Please where is our minister of Information? why is he suddenly quiet this period of acute fuel scarcity? Cuz we need accurate info from him concerning this rough situation.

https://s28.postimg.org/dpm0z0hr1/lai.jpg

He is on fuel queue at Wuse NNPC filling station. Unfortunately, he was still blaming Jonathan for not buying enough tankers to supply fuel.

TonyeBarcanista:
NgeneUkwenu how is the fuel situation in your area?

NgeneUkwenu:
Yeye party! instead of setting up a special committee to return over 30 Billion Dollars of our common patrimony stashed away by Jonathan-Led- Gang of thieves...they are busy looking for another avenue to bleed us more...

Useless party

So Faahola has failed now according to your own assessment. Remember he was appointed in November 2015. How ridiculous? You guys find it so impossible to get over GEJ's loss. How pathetic. Enemies of progress. Continue to wail.
