Jostoman:
don't talk like that they make mistake and they have realized their mistake already. Let support them with our prayers.

They have realised nothing.

Wait till 2023 and see how they'll vote massively for APC again.

I have better things to pray for jaree.

TarOrfeeek:
All the money for there no reach 5 million.

But this is Social Media, make we dey bobo ourselves.

Look at the money again

ba7man:
A detailed list like this of victims would have been of more relevance.

You can't list victims from other locations as Lekki massacre victims and names like "Wale, Mercy, Peter" in a final report and expect logical people to swallow it.

There's a detailed list of all the Policemen killed.

There's a detailed list of all the Policemen indicted.

O.k. how about the victims of the Massacre??

They started with Eniola Badmus, then progressed to victims from other parts of the country, people reported dead started ressurecting to disclaim their deaths............ which leads to this panel that represents the same lies.

Are u OK??

List of 48 victims all over the net all this while

BafanaBafana:
Marafa again. It was because of him they lost zamfara to pdp

It'll do you some good to research and hear from both parties b4 making your assumptions or conclusions

Since coming to power six years ago, the president’s office has spent N5 billion on vehicles – enough to build 500 health centres at N10 million each.

Nigeria’s cash-strapped government will likely do everything to meet its big-on-paper-light-on-impact budgets except one: cut its administrative cost.

As the government deals with budget deficits year after year, it prefers to pile debt rather than cut back on a costly lifestyle that has eaten away at national budgets for decades. A key beneficiary of that extravagant culture is President Muhammadu Buhari. The president preaches prudence in government spending in public, but the budgets he signs off annually tell a different story.

In 2022, the president’s office will spend a whopping N1.6 billion on new vehicles – the fourth largest by any government office. That comes just a year after the office spent nearly half a billion on the same item.

Since coming to power six years ago, the president’s office has spent N5 billion on vehicles – enough to build 500 health centres at N10 million each. It has spent billions more on food, uniforms, travels, a huge presidential air fleet, president’s hospital and more.

The expenditures are an example of how Nigeria’s federal and state governments annually channel scarce public resources into projects that sustain their flashy lifestyles while critical programmes that should benefit citizens are perpetually underfunded.

While the Buhari government has successfully increased Nigeria’s aggregate spending compared to previous administrations, a bulk of that rise still finances non-essential items.

As the budgets and their deficits rise since 2015, so has the cost of governance that covers everything from fuel to printing paper to “welfare packages”

As the budgets and their deficits rise since 2015, so has the cost of governance that covers everything from fuel to printing paper to “welfare packages”.


The N16.4 trillion budget for 2022 has a shortfall of more than N6 trillion and recurrent expenditure of more than N4 trillion, meaning that for every N160 the government spends, N60 will be borrowed and N40 will go to financing government operations, not building badly needed roads and hospitals.

Nigeria’s public debt has risen the most under the Buhari administration when compared to previous governments since 1999, and foreign debt has grown three times more than the combined figure recorded by the past three administrations, a PREMIUM TIMES analysis showed.

The spending on vehicles follows a trend. For 2021, the president requested the National Assembly to approve N18.9 billion for the purchase of new vehicles for government offices. Of that amount, N336 million was proposed to buy new vehicles for the president.

In the new budget, the president will spend N1.6 billion on new vehicles while the vice president will spend N30 million on new vehicles.

Nigeria’s public debt has risen the most under the Buhari administration when compared to previous governments since 1999, and foreign debt has grown three times more than the combined figure recorded by the past three administrations, a PREMIUM TIMES analysis showed.

“The revenues are simply inadequate to fund fundamental expenditure, therefore, every available fund should be spent with the greatest value for money, tied to a high-level national policy framework and aimed at improving livelihoods, growing the economy, reducing poverty and inequality,” said Eze Onyekpere of the Centre for Social Justice, whose organisation launched an initiative to identify wasteful items in the 2022 budget.

President Muhammadu Buhari's official vehicle
“It is against this background that the pull-out of frivolous, inappropriate, unclear and wasteful expenditure calls the attention of the executive, legislature, private sector, civil society including the media to these frivolities at a time of grave national crisis.”

Mr Onyekpere condemned the culture of assigning billions of naira annually to projects such as “routine maintenance”, “foreign and local travels” and purchase of computers.

“According to the 2022 budget call circular, resources are to be allocated based on actual needs, in line with the immediate needs of the country as well as government’s developmental objectives and priorities. Starting from the presidency’s state house headquarters, the pull-out calls on the leadership to lead by example.

“Spending billions of naira every year on routine maintenance of statehouse facilities is a huge waste. All statutory transfers are stated as lump-sum provisions without details. No person, government agency or organisation has the right in a constitutional democracy to spend public funds in a way and manner that is unknown to the ultimate sovereigns, being the taxpayers and citizens.”

Rising Administrative Cost
The spending on vehicles follows a trend. For 2021, the president requested the National Assembly to approve N18.9 billion for the purchase of new vehicles for government offices. Of that amount, N336 million was proposed to buy new vehicles for the president.

National Assembly Complex
In the new budget, the president will spend N1.6 billion on new vehicles while the vice president will spend N30 million on new vehicles.

In this regard, the president’s office is only surpassed by the Federal Road Safety Commission which intends to spend N1.7 billion on operational vehicles; the Nigerian Correctional Service (N1.1 billion); Ministry of Works and Housing (N720 million) and Ministry of Health – headquarters (414 million) and Ministry of Defence ministry (N835 million).

The presidency is also seeking the allocation of N21 billion for the construction of a new presidential wing for the president and his family as well as vice president and his family. The government plans to spend N19 billion on software, with the presidency amongst the biggest spenders.

sexyking1:
What's so special about this anambra election? It has generated more goodwill messages all over the world than any other state election even presidential election. Wow there must be something about that state that made APC want to capture it by all means.

I think it's basically these:

.1) the caliber and pedigree of the Gov elect. Its always better to have educated/exposed technocrats , who have succeeded and have grown wealth personally, to manage state n federal resources. You can see how Buhari, lawan and Tanko are currently mismanaging the country

2) many were scared of what may become of SE and by extension SW and Midbelt if the threat by secessionists scuttles the elections. So, it's more of sigh of relief, by the outcomes at the end of d day.

3) Due to horrible blunder of Fg and supreme Court In imo. Most Nigerians ( including Apc members) wanted a scenario where either pdp or Apga wins it fair and square in Anambra

4) Since its an off season election. There's plenty room for many to congratulations. Obviously we can't be congratulating Buhari for borrowing more money and mortgaging future generations, neither can we do same to Amaechi for borrowing money to build railway to niger ��.

ZKOSOSO:
What an intimidating Profile...!!

He's now the Chief Agbero General of Anambra Politics.

All Govs in Nigeria are Agberos. No be grammar

Yeah, but it's still better to have an educated agbero as Gov than one from the park/Street/Creek

Charisma01:
Where are all those who were shouting APC wants to rig thats why the election is inconclusive?

Some people go just dey talk out of hate.

Have APC not been rigging elections through inconclusive runs before?

venabili:


I actually went to sample the results ooo.
1. Winning margin was quite high for APC
2. Most of the forms were signed by only the APC rep
3.the pictures looked like they were snapped in a private residence rather than the Polling unit as expected.

Just observations.

Yes I think it was mostly in Abatete and a few other wards in idemili North. But ultimately apga still won idemili North with smaller margin.

Chukdobz20:

Tutu19:
Soludo will not be a good governor. He is a proud man that does not take advise. Anambra people will hear weeeeeeen.. Mark my words. I have outgrown seeing from man's perspective.

Yep, I actually believe that Ozigbo is the best of them

Afamsi:
Andy Uba is ekperima, Ifeanyi Uba is ekperima, Doctor Godwin is a 419, azigbo is an illiterate . Only Soludo is a credible candidate among them

Your ignorance is palpably legendary.

Ozigbo with global CEO ratings while in transcorp is illiterate abi

houseontherock:
This news report is not complete without a response from a representative of the FG...we need to hear what they are doing it what they feel about the gas price! I also believe the local gas vendors are enjoying this madness. However, I wonder when exactly we will truly reach our breaking point because as it is, we are quiet because we can still afford to buy it

You r waiting to get the truth from Lie Muhammad

Continue deceiving your self there!
We have moved abeg!

tsdarkside:
has this guy lost his freakin mind....??

what the hell is he always yabbin about....??

negotiate with people that want you destroyed....?? how does that make any sense....??

wouldnt they bully you even more....??

So BH & bandits that this govt have been negotiating with and paying ransome to. What r they, patriotic nation builders??

It's only a foolish husband that will welcome to his home, hired assassins with open arms, and seek to kill the mother of his children, all because she asked for divorce.

Commentor:


Even if people have lost hope, i still believe one day, just one day you'll have sense.

I hope.

Have gone through your take more than once and can't seem to decipher the better sense of yours.
May be u could clear my doubts.

toblosky:
Taught you have to have atleast 51% for a full takeover

Not in d case of bank.

An individual can't have more than - 5% in person and 15% via proxy -of a banks total shares, or so.

He's currently the single individual with d highest shares of FBN.
So should ideally become d bank chairman.

mrkels:
Why is the end of the article talking about take over ? With 5% stake ? Is the writer high or just incredibly stupid ?

He's currently the single highest shareholder of d Bank shares.

Ideally he's supposed to become the chairman of the the bank

Before nko!

Someone actually said we are all not normal in this country. And that the normal ones have all left the the nation.

He was admitted for sepsis infection

PROUDIGBO:


Any neutral observer knows he’s miles better than all the other candidates, and it’s got nothing to do with him being in the ruling party of the state!

Ndi-Anambra should be very vigilant and take nothing for granted....they’re up against a very ‘powerful’ and malevolent force that’s determined to ‘capture’ their state come hell or high water, and seeking the highest number of validly cast votes on the day isn’t part of the plan for ‘winning’!

Soludo is good no doubt.
But I think Ozigbo will definitely perform if given a chance.
Maduka as well

benuejosh:
All of this is geared towards hatred for Buhari. PDP messed up the country for 16 years and left it for Buhari. Yet children of hate want Buhari to fix it up the 16 years mess in just 6 years. The man has done his best to even with the mess the PDP caused. If Jonathan was in Power uptill now, we would have been eating feaces.

Fine!
What exactly has Buhari done well for our economy and security in d 6yrs plus that he has been there??

This whole exercise looks democratic enough.

Good one PDP!

soulfood:
How did you make the money? That is what needs to be answered? if he can prove it is legally made, the its his choice where he saves it

Chill brooo! Is not Everyone that earns salary and operates under nijja yeye economy jaree

TripleOh7:


Meanwhile, his constituents in Katsina are eating grass on the field due to hunger... oh wait, he is not from Katsina, he is from Maradi in Niger Republic.



You've always been a proud supporter of Buhari and his shenanigans. Now, you're dismayed?

Maradi poverty is even worse than Katsina sef.

Baban Barawos Masquerading as pious leaders

Baban Barawoo!
