Based on the BudgIT report, The 10th National Assembly has gotten more brazen and fearless in it's insertion of new line items (padding).

BudgIT revealed that in 2022 - they discovered 5,000 padded items, in 2024 they discovered 6,000 and without any form of restraint and brazen effontry discovered a staggering 11,000 padded line items in the 2025 budget.

The National Assembly leadership didn't address it but went ahead to endorse a president who just spent 2 years for another term.

Jonathan's time was good, but Tinubu's Assembly is doing better now, actions speak louder than words, and they’re really trying to fix the economy and help the people.

Anything you support heads to doom. Ambode, Dino, Fubara, Natasha, Saraki and others knows this fact, no wonder Wike and Reno quickly used their brain before you use am for them

But obidents supported trump.

Jonathan a man that can't point to anything he did for the Niger Delta after spending 6 years in power. The newly built east west road eleme section will be open for traffic this month

Under this thread you read that the NDDC law came to be because he had a vibrant NA, what else is did he not do for Niger delta? The Federal university in Otuoke is there and many infrastructural systems.
You position lack substance

It gets to the head of self acclaimed Democrat and freedom fighter, he turns every organ of govt to his puppets.

What's this clueless talk from a clueless man.... Of course when you're clueless as a president the national assembly will veto bills.

The fact that the national assembly is not "fighting" the executive under Tinubu administration is because Tinubu is a good leader.

For National assembly to be fighting the president is not to the benefit of the masses but rather the masses will suffer. The national assembly is not designed to fight or be in opposition to the president but rather check and work with the executive and the judiciary to bring progress to the country.

No amount of instigation of fight between Tinubu and the national assembly will work because the leaders of the two arms Tinubu and Apkabio and Tajudeen Abass are wise men and extremely talented politicians. Nigeria is fortunate to have a these caliber of men at the helm of our country at such a time.

Obasanjo failed woefully with his corruption and authoritarianism.
Goodluck Jonathan failed with his bigotry and corruption.
Buhari failed with his bigotry and inapt attitude.
Tinubu is succeeding with his respect for separation of power and "carry everybody along" leadership style.

There's a different type of politics to play within your party, inter-party, inter-arm of government, nation and foreign. Tinubu knows how to play them all and what's more God is on his side...sorry to all who might want to compete against him at this time because you all have lost already.

They support good things hence this thread. If those they supported held sway, would you have seen a thread like this?
What supported had been dealing with Nigeria and Nigerians. How people vote Buhari twice and still voted one who wants to start from where he stopped?

SmartPolician:
A firm and independent national assembly died the day Senator Bukola Saraki lost his re-election bid. Na rubber stamp we get now.

Lemme burst your bubble, Saraki senate did not even over ride any decision of pres. Buhari compared to senate we had under Obj & jonathan respectively

Saraki senate was more of barking and no bite

How?

you can only have an assertive assembly if the presiding officer have no previous baggage and are not currently looting.

Buhari failed?😂😂
And your Tinubu said he would continue from where he stopped?🤣🤣😂
This confusion is confusing 🤣

There's only been 1 veto overridden in the history of the National Assembly. This is what happens when you think your job is to be buddies with the executive instead representing your constituency.

Actions indeed speak louder than words.

The eyesore on Bourdillon Road
2nd January 2025

Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.

If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.

That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.

Saraki was only fighting Buhari to protect his position and not that he's fighting for the interest of the masses.

Ebilokan is truly a good leader looter who has done what he promised, to make life better for all of us.

So who is clueless now

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.

On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.

On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.

Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

So which senate president or other politician is fighting for the interests of the masses

Na you corn-fuse pass maybe you neva chop akpu today.... People like Bukola Saraki made Buhari fail and his cabal trying to checkmate Tinubu then made him fail to handle the National Assembly well throughout his tenure.

To continue from where Buhari stopped not where Buhari failed or passed but to continue the effort of nation building. I hope your shallow mind and poor comprehension ability get it now but if not continue in your corn-fusuion tune in to AriseTV and get your afternoon dose of myopic thinking gist.

An apologetic one at that 🤣😂😂
Saraki made Buhari fail? Lol
And Tinubu continued from where Buhari you said failed passed?
Kikiki 😂😂....I'm glad you used corn 🌽.. you agbado mantra

Saraki is the only Senate president whose tenure was marked by internal rivalry between the senate and presidency!
Last I checked, Saraki clashed with the executive not due to ideological differences but as a result of his own selfish ambition characterized by the manner in which he was elected to office openly pitching tent with the opposition against his party to hijack the senate leadership in a most desperate power grab operation the Nigeria senate has ever experienced!

Someone should tell us what Saraki’s leadership brought to the country
I see we have weak memory in Nigeria

Today we now have a president who is running nigeria like his old drug business.

Tinubuadvocate:
See what's this sinister trying to justify.

i was waiting for this. He is no longer from SS that you guys are expecting vote from abi?

I thought you lots are saying its SS n SW against the North. Mugu

Today, we have rubber stamp National Assembly. Imagine, Akpabio telling Nigerians that they were not elected to fight the executive. Shame!

Racoon:
Today, what is in place is just of band of criminal-minded vestigial appendage legislative stooges of the executive.

I tip my hat to you for the words used. I have leant something new today. Thank you.
