I find it deeply disconcerting and a matter of grave concern and even shameful to read about the alleged N3 trillion discrepancy between the budget approved by the Nigerian Senate and the one being implemented by the presidency.

One Senator claims there is a separate budget, allegedly containing the N3 trillion, that differs from what was passed by the National Assembly. This alleged discrepancy is especially worrying because it represents over 10% of our national budget (estimated at N29 trillion) and is more than the combined education (N1.54 trillion) and health (N1.38 trillion) official budgets. This lack of transparency in managing public funds is a breach of trust between the Nigerian people and their elected leaders.

With insecurity, hunger, poverty, inflation, and unemployment plaguing the nation, these actions are insensitive to the people's plight. Every naira of our budget, especially in these challenging times, should be judiciously used to build a better Nigeria.

We also deserve full accountability of all our scarce resources placed in public trust. Therefore, we, the Nigerian people, demand a public explanation from both the National Assembly and the Presidency regarding the purpose and process of adding this alleged N3 trillion allocation to the officially approved national budget for 2024. Transparency and accountability remain the cornerstones of good democratic governance at all levels. This is our unwavering commitment to building a New Nigeria which we insist remains POssible. -Peter Obi

Mr Peter Obi's indecorousity and disingenuity is becoming disturbing almost to the point of mental incapacitating.

Validated:

Face the topic, not Peter Obi.
We need to know who padded the budget,
What was N3T allocated to?
Why would the president assent to such a budget without alerting the nation?
All those complecit must be held to account

I want to believe the notorious Jack Ude is not the one handling Peter Obi Twitter account.

You claimed it was an allegation from one of the Senator but still went ahead to use the allegation to form the opinion that the government is implementing a different budget.

This is what Peter Obi and his empty Obidients have turned opposition to in Nigeria.

imagine a whole presidential candidate cant substantiate a rumour and prove the authenticity of the allegation before jumping to social media to blab.

A presidential candidate who goes about forming an opinion based on an allegation, thank God we dodged the stray bullet called Obi,

I was writing when your response came in. I gave a full response of what happened.

You asked me not to attack Peter Obi. But Obi peddled falsehood with.

Peter Obi allegedly studied philosophy. One critical issue in philosophy is logic.

Peter Obi's reasoning falls within the ad populum or bandwagon fallacy (latching on an opinion because it is popular), false attribution (appealing to fabricated sources), and hasty generalization. This fellow is well known for his statistical fallacies.

You fell for the trap Senator Abdul Ningi set, which Peter Obi himself fell for. Ningi was wrong by understanding the budget presented in order to sell Tinubu poorly to his people. A simple Google search would reveal the exact budget presented by Tinubu!

With all Obi's flaws and fallacies, why don't you ever think beyond what he says and support him with critical feedback? Peter Obi successfully latched on your anger to control you like mob mentality, no ideology beyond hate and senselessness. He is no different from a hypnotist, who puts many to sleep to fück them three ways from Sunday.

The reason why this country may never be better is because of the number of ediots we now have. The statement by Peter Obi clearly pointed out that the pad is "an allegation" that Nigerians need a better explanation of. The statement by Onanuga even contradicts itself when he claimed "If the budget was padded then it was by the national assembly". Is he saying that they aren't aware the figures presented and what was signed wasn't the same or is that not an indictment that even he isn't aware of the actual final figure with his use of the word "If"

Did you play opposition sensibly during GEJ?

Abii you think say na only una get Monopoly for madness?

TimeMachine2:
Whoever advised Peter Obi to be acting in this manner must have been his frenemy, else all presidential candidates that lost in the last election are back to drawing board except this jobless fool, jumping on every issues that is beyond his retarded mental capacity.
So, let me guess, this fool thinks acting this way will make people vote for him come 2027? What type of stupidity is this? This ipob lapdog should rest

Cho-cho-cho everyday; is it by force to talk?

If you want to play opposition, play it sensibly na.

What do you expect from that brainless 'yes daddy's fool? Someone with a room temperature IQ, a borderline retard? The fool kept mute on the wanton campaign fund embezzled in his losers party, yet the effeminate toad is everywhere.

This is a dull one from Peter Obi if true.

What President Tinubu signed in January is in the news na...NGN 28.7 Tr....so, where does this Senator see his own NGN 25 Tr he is talking about

If the allegef budget padding is true, then Tinubu faces impeachable offence for gross misconduct and criminal breach of trust..
If NASS refuses to acts, the Nigerian people need to chase both Tinubu and NASS home.

Are you a Senator?

Do you now know more than Senator Ningi, your party man?

emkz:
Former Governor of Anambra State and former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Mr Peter Obi, took to his verified Twitter handle to accuse the presidency of allegedly implementing a budget different from what the national assembly passed.

Mr Peter Obi's comments were based on an earlier allegation by Senator Abdul Ningi, who had claimed that President Tinubu was running a budget different from what the national assembly passed. Senator Ningi, alleged that President Tinubu had presented a 25 trillion naira budget which was passed by the national assembly.

The Presidency through the Special Adviser Information and Strategy to President Tinubu, Mr Bayo Onanuga, had refuted the claims by Senator Ningi, explaining that President Tinubu never presented a 25 trillion budget to the national assembly. Rather President Tinubu had presented a 27.5 trillion naira budget to the national assembly, which the national assembly increased to 28.7 trillion naira which was eventually signed into law on 1st January 2024.
