The party said that if the proposed budget is implemented as presented it will plunge the nation deeper into the abyss of insecurity, poverty and hopelessness.

Debo Ologunagba, the spokesperson of the PDP, in a statement on Wednesday said the president’s budget address was like “campaign rhetoric laced with unsubstantiated economic statistics”.

DAILY POST reported that President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday presented a national budget of N47.96 trillion for 2025 to the joint session of lawmakers in the National Assembly.

Tinubu said that the budget would trigger the prosperity of Nigerians in 2025 if implemented to the letter, adding that it would restore and consolidate on key policies of the government.

However, Ologunagba said that the budget “made no meaningful provisions” for “real drivers of the national economy”.

“The PDP states that the budget address sounded more like a campaign rhetoric laced with unsubstantiated economic statistics, false promises and conjured performance claims without clear-cut operable steps and mechanisms to address insecurity, resuscitate the economy, revamp ailing industries, shore up food production, increase the value of the Naira, reduce overall cost of living, create jobs for our youths and guarantee better living standard for citizens.

“President Tinubu dashed the hope of millions of suffering Nigerians who expected him to use the 2025 budget to make strategic provisions that will lead to the reduction in the cost of fuel, food items, electricity tariff and other essential goods and services that have direct bearing on the wellbeing of the people

“The PDP therefore calls on the National Assembly not to pass the 2025 budget as presented but activate its legislative powers as guaranteed under Sections 80, 81 and 82 of the 1999 Constitution to rejig the budget and make provisions that are critical and pivotal to the growth of the economy and the welfare of Nigerians,” part of the statement read.

The rubber stamp akpabio led senate has already done that..

The illiterate fools .. knows nothing about anything aside sharing money and suspending honest senators that break protocols by speaking up against stupidity

Tinubu needs more money to Bribe funny politicians against 2027” divide parties, … all to pocket Nigeria

Only say he’s a jonzing fool that is stupidly playing God .. forgetting he’s a local Yoruba thing ..

Na here we dey.. na time .. himself go be history

Every sane person will easily see the difference in the years PDP were in power and the years of APC. It's like day and night

So how is it anti people?
PDP didn't explain why the budget should not be passed.
They said it was without clear-cut operable steps and mechanisms to address how it will revamp the economy and tackle insecurity.
Seriously should a budget explain all that in details abi na me no too understand wetin budget mean?

The only problem I have with that budget is that the amount for debt servicing is just too much

The fact that the budget will run a benchmark of $1/ 1500 depicit blink hope or relieve

bench mark means we cant go below 1500 to a $, the question is how do we run an economy with devalue currency $1/1500 which depicit high cost of business operation and high cost of living

The worst part is that we are very terrible at keeping bench mark ... there is now a clear indication dollar will go beyond 1500.

In all these high high, where does relieve come in

ogolemati:

They will definitely devalue the naira more in 2025 , the dollar will most likely go as high as 2000 naira for 1 dollar

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has urged the National Assembly not to pass the proposed 2025 appropriation bill, describing it as anti-people.
