NASS Leaders Don't Want To Talk About It, The Boxes Were Empty - Galambi by nairalandkachy1(op): 12:09pm On Dec 02, 2023

A member of the House of Representatives, Yusuf Galambi, has accused President Bola Tinubu of presenting ’empty’ boxes supposedly containing the 2024 budget to the joint session of the National Assembly.

Mr Galambi, a member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) representing Gwaram federal constituency of Jigawa State, made the allegation during an interview with BBC Hausa Service on Friday.

The lawmaker, in the interview, monitored by PREMIUM TIMES, said Mr Tinubu read out his budget speech including proposals for sectors but did not give the lawmakers the documents as was the tradition by previous presidents.

When the BBC reporter insisted that the president was seen laying the “document”, Mr Galambi said when the lawmakers checked they couldn’t find anything in the boxes laid by Mr Tinubu.

“We’ve checked but there was nothing inside. We checked it. In the history of the National Assembly, this was the first time such a thing happened.

“The constitution has made it clear (that a document must be presented) but this time, it was only a reading on paper. They didn’t provide the document for us to go through and see what is proposed for each sector. Maybe they’ll bring it later,” Mr Galambi said.

Cover up

The lawmaker alleged that the leaders of the National Assembly are covering up Mr Tinubu’s act.

“They (leaders of the National Assembly) don’t want anyone to talk about it. Maybe they were not informed or were possibly aware of what was planned and they decided not to inform us,” he said.

When contacted, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Print Media, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, said the allegation was aimed at misleading the public.

“It’s a nonsensical allegation aimed to mislead. The president is never expected to present the whole haul of heavy documents. What happened at the laying is like the presentation of dummy cheques at award ceremonies. The real thing always follows,” Mr Abdulaziz said in a WhatsApp message sent to PREMIUM TIMES on Friday.

This is the beginning of Tinubu ruling Nigeria like his personal property! No budget plans, no budget details, no explanation of what they are going to spend money 💰 on! Just pulled 27trillion from air and summited it to rubber stamp house for approval, this is exactly how Lagos is being run.

Who is Galambi again?. It's high time DSS started picking up nonentities.
Nigeria opposition is proving to be a congregation of the most intellectually lazy people in the world. These are the same ratheads that would quickly point to US, UK, Canada,etc when they talk but do you see the President or PrimeMinister of an advanced country going to the legislative assembly with boxes or trailer of papers to present budget?. With flash drive, you could easily print out the budget details for each lawmaker. And that's the innovation Jagaban is introducing to end the archaic system of budget boxes. Nigeria's opposition are too backward thinking, everything na to dey open mouth dey wail, no sense.

When he went about dancing and been petty whenever he talked at manifestos, why do we expect him to do much in office? We are hypocrites, always expecting to reap what we did not sow.

We should accept the continuous fraud cos that was what we voted.
