It's a pity that Nigerian leaders now see the president as the one with the right and capability to impeach a senate president. It tells us how well the state has been captured by Tinubu.

When Ningi started this budget issue, he had a well laid out strategy & I knew that Akpabio is gone.

1, His own people have denied him saying he can never execute a project of N21B in Akwa Ibom based on his antecedents in NDDC.

2, The Northern Senators have a major bloc even outside party line in the Senate and may work behind the scene to ensure a Northern representation.

3, The opposition parties in the senate the YPP, NNPP, PDP & LP will form a bloc against the Senate presidency of Akpabio.

4, The Nigerian public will use different media tools against Akpabio based on the N21B allocation.

It's hurting them to have a Senate and the nation's President from the South.

Bloody fools. Only the senators can impeach the senate president. The executive arm of government has no such power.

NASS, a den of corruption by a gang of unarmed pen robbers

Olufemi Adegbulugbe
Member, Federalist Majority

“A total of 7,447 projects culminating in N2.24tn were inserted in the 2024 budget by the National Assembly, an ugly trend that was accelerated in the 10th National Assembly. The National Assembly
has indiscriminately added projects to the budget, with most projects having no national significance but narrowed to personal interests.”

“Under Tinubu, The federal lawmakers raised their allocation from N197 billion to N344 billion, their highest ever in the history of the National Assembly.

Ridiculous line items include
A. NASS Printing press. N3 billion
B. NASS Library. N12.1 billion
C. NASS Library book procurement N3 billion
D. NASS e library N225 million
E. Senate Car Park. N3 billion
F. Reps Car Park. N3 billion
G. NASS recreation center N4 billion
H. NASS Hospital Project. N15 billion

The NASS budget is twice the total allocation to all 26 Federal Universities.

Observations
Note the duplication in line items B, C and D. Ie Nass Library, Nass e-library and Nass Library book procurement.

Note the same cost for Senate car park (109 members) and Reps car park (360 member. In other words, a 109 cars capacity car park costs the same as 360 cars capacity car park.
Does this mean that Julius Berger designed and built the NASS complex without adequate car park capacity?

N15 billion for NASS hospital project is enough to build one one primary health care center in every Local Government area in Nigeria.
The new State house clinic /hospital is available for use of NASS members so why waste N15 billion on a new hospital for only 500 people. Please also note the running and overhead cost of this hospital when it becomes operational.

It is heartbreaking that NASS increased their allocation by N147 billion in a budget that is running a deficit financed by external borrowing. It is sad!
With current inflation, the cost of these items has tripled.
All the above items (A-H) are of no strategic fit or strategic alignment, purely selfish and personal interests where the contracts are awarded to companies belonging to NASS members.

So where do we go from here?
Show me your friends and i will tell you who you are. It is very clear that the choice of Akpabio, a corruption guru, as Senate President was a strategic objective by President Tinubu to institutionalise corruption in the National Assembly.
Our lawmakers have turned contractors.
Our lawmakers are only interested in looting of the treasury.
I will be ashamed if i were a member of the NASS or addressed as a Senator or HoA member. But we have no shame and we also do not know the definition of shame.
Regarding the question “Where do we go from here?”, i do not have an answer but i know that Nigeria cannot continue like this.
President Bola Tinubu does not mean well for Nigeria. I am convinced beyond reasonable doubts.
Good evening.

Akpabio has no value to the common Southern Man hustling on the streets of Nija.
His Apc is the greatest calamity to befall the South and Country at large, nonetheless He goes no where bcus the Northern Governors are just being political.



I believe the President should have known the game plan before now.

The North is not happy that both the Senate and Nation's Presidents are from the South.

They shouldn't be allowed to have their way.

Akpabio had always been a greedy person
Na him greediness drag am enter APC
But
Batman will not support his removal
Batman knows how to play the noise game
All dis cut and join news, no go change anything.
May be after this four years, Akpabio can take a bow, but for now, enjoy the AKPABIO show.

Ok agreed.
But I will not join others to derail Reality which is both Apkabio,the FAILURE PERSONIFIED called Tinubu and their APC are plainly useless to the common Southerner.

The president doesn't have the right to remove the senate president. He can only be removed by his peers in the senate. That's the Naija constitution.

See how SR is writing stories like market woman gossip

It is a testament to the APC brand of corruption that budget padding became a thing under them.

And their Zombies have the nerve to turn a matter of public accountability and probity into a regional or political issue.

Shame on APC and their rats.
What am I saying self? Even their chairman has a dollar stuffing video. Anything goes.....

But the north turned it first to a regional matter when they said the budget was anti north

After putting whatever aside what happens in the long run?
Hunger, insecurity, hardship, suffering this is all the common man living in SS,SW,SE can ever gain from APC and Akpabio as Senate President,while Apkabio and his league men continue to enrich themselves and their generation yet unborn. Apc is the greatest threat to the survival of the common legit hustling SE,SS,SW man.

Nonetheless Apkabio goes no where.

Will akpabio replacement end hunger

Northerners, especially Few,who often claims they know but are just for their mouth and belly,not for the Talakawas have different agenda for Nigeria and it will not Work!
They conceive what Bokoharam is- right away from OBJ-era,where they introduced the plot,but did not succeed,then to GEJ- where they were using InSecurity as basis of change in government and through the 8- years of Buhari - they were mute, because he is from them and yet,so much waste and damages was done to Nigerian Economy!
•Now,with Tinubu, a Southerners,in Power,their Mission to distabilize the Govt, through diabolical schemes and it will not work!
•Can Senator Ningi- a PDP surrogate,tell Nigerians,how much he have been receiving as Constituency Projects Fund- since he became a Member of National Assembly?
Nigerians needs the Total Figures, Please, including when Ningi was in House of Representatives!

Arrant nonsense from Saharareporters. No one is pressuring the president or anybody to remove Akpabio. Akpabio is going nowhere. He will remain the Senate president till 2027 at the first instance.

You will need to ask the supreme court about its constitutionality.

FYI, constituency projects money are not given to any senator,
they merely highlights the projects they want executed in their constituency.
It is then up to the executives whether to fund the projects or not.

From the above, you ca deduce for yourself if it is illegal or not.

Buhari covered their unclothedness all through his tenure ,now they want the president to render south south leader useless like the in the days of obj when they were changing senate president like rapper.

What is the nonsense noise about budget paddding?
The job of the senate is to review the budget and slash down or increase sections
of budgetary allocations it deemed fit.

Anyone against such should campaign for constitutional amendment so that the
president no longer need to present budget to the senate.
Wait till you see the content of the padding. They didn't pad with sense.
