Alex Mascot Praises Tinubu as FG Begins Budget Implementation After His NASS Outburst

Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh, Member representing Aba North/Aba South Federal Constituency, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as "responsive leadership" following the Federal Government's decision to accelerate implementation of the 2026 budget.

Speaking on Magic FM, Aba, on Thursday, Ikwechegh said the renewed push to release funds to Ministries, Departments and Agencies demonstrated that the President listens to the legislature.

"Mr. President has shown he is a listening President who has the interest of the nation at heart. He did not see our concerns as opposition. He saw them as part of our job to ensure Nigerians get value for money," the lawmaker stated.

Ikwechegh had earlier drawn national attention after raising a motion on the floor of the House over delays in budget releases despite appropriations passed by the National Assembly. The intervention sparked debate among lawmakers over the slow pace of capital project execution.

The Federal Government has since announced measures to fast-track releases under the 2026 Appropriation Act, which provides for an aggregate expenditure of ₦68.32 trillion, with ₦32.2 trillion earmarked for capital expenditure.

According to Ikwechegh, legislative oversight is most effective when it produces concrete results.

"Our job is to speak firmly when policies are not working, and to also acknowledge when government takes corrective action. That is how the executive and legislature serve the people together," he said.

The Abia lawmaker stressed that the real test of the budget lies in delivery — completed roads, functional hospitals, jobs for youths, and improved services across constituencies.

He expressed optimism that with improved coordination between the National Assembly and the Presidency, Nigerians will increasingly begin to feel the impact of the 2026 budget as implementation gathers momentum.

This thread is yet another reason why I once called Tinubu a blessing to Nigeria. Here, a member of the House confirms that despite his previous outburst, Tinubu did not see it as opposition. He did not see it as trying to bring down his government.

Instead, he viewed it as feedback—a deficiency in the system that someone had brought to his attention.

According to the house rep member, corrective steps have already been taken to address the issue.

Sometimes it is the people you employed to do that very job who end up failing at it. If my memory serves me right, the woman who was Minister of State for Finance was redeployed. The substantive minister resigned later.

No system is perfect. Every system undergoes continuous improvement to remove bottlenecks and enhance efficiency. Personally, as a human being, there’s a lot to learn from Tinubu. I wish I had his kind of temperament.

Even his media aides like Bwala and co have a lot to learn from Mr President.

Originalsly:
How has Tinubu been a blessing to Nigeria?.....

Stupid hailing. THUNDER FIRE YOU

Trying everything hard to make it look like Nigerians are supporting this evil party
If Osun people knew that Adeleke will support Tinubu they'll won't vote for him for sure

Die hard haters will not like this

So it took an outburst from one Mascot for Tinubu to begin to implement his budget. Surreal! Anyways, subsidy is coming back! Atiku/Amaechi 2027.

Mascot is not a senator but a member of the House of Representatives

Okay thanks for the correction.

God bless Bola Ahmed Tinubu! God bless Nigeria my country!!!

Bolt driver oppressor . Seun look alike

Just like how Nigeria's public debt jumped from ₦12.6 trillion for 55 years after independence to ₦159.35 trillion in 11 years of APC led FG. Even after the removal of subsidy, floating of the naira, increasing customs duty, increasing electricity tariff, increasing VAT, PBAT alone added over ₦71T to Nigeria's debt in just 33 months with almost nothing to show for it.

He is in the league of technocrats who have an idea about where His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is steering the nation towards.

Many know but hate won’t just let them admit. His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is repositioning Nigeria on the global stage, with massive investment in human capital.

These policies and supine are bound to yield positive results!

Hon Mascot has always been in the news for good things

He's a technocrat

The wailers will start insulting his generation now

But wait first oo, how can someone's name be MASCOT? Who takes a mascot serious?

How can anyone honestly say that this one is a blessing to Nigeria?
The same man who begged Buhari to make Jonathan a one term president, after APC invited terrorists to destroy our country?

Tinubu is the greatest curse to Nigeria, without a doubt!

Are yyour family member living better than they were in 2015, Call your mom how many times she don titus fish this year, are people living or just surviving
So how exactly his Tinubu a blessing, the level of syophancy in govt under Tinubu is Alarming nd objective Nigerians should be worried

Should praise come before Results or after Result ... this dafft poltician is praising Tinubu for a budget implementation that have not even taken new effect

we are not fuulls, after almost 4yrs of running 3,budget concurrently Tinubu is barking for reform ...good ! but it is only logical we wait nd see the outcome after 1yr or 6 month at least before we start lauding and singing praises to the president

This is a Tinubu that promise 24hrs light, and he later change mouth, this is a man that promised subsidy saving will be used to build infrastructures but today he gives the money to governors to buy them ...

We should not be lauding Policies instead Result is what we must see before we praise,

Now I am confused. There are two topics about mascots praising Tinubu. The real mascot and the Mascot himself. Mods should take note on their FP headlines.

Can you please explain how anyone can hate not just Nigeria, but also himself more than the master strategist who removed subsidy to stop borrowing, but is borrowing even more that other presidents who gave us cheap petrol, cheap dollars, prosperity, peace and security?

Na which kain tragicomedy be that

Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun made this known at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
Mr. Edun said that the benefit of the subsidy removal will be plough back into various sectors to improve business environment for local and foreign investment.
He added that with the increased revenue from subsidy removal, various palliatives have been made available to cushion its effect on a short, medium and long-term basis.

Report: Current Govt Added More Debt in Two Years Than Nigeria Accumulated in 55 Years

• Decries Nigeria’s debt service-to-revenue ratio

•Urges FG to declare fiscal emergency

A new policy brief has warned that Nigeria’s worsening debt profile and weak revenue generation have pushed the country into a dangerous fiscal position, with the current administration accumulating more debt in two years than Nigeria recorded during its first 55 years after independence.

The report, released by the Alliance for Economic Research and Ethics LTD/GTE, a Nigerian policy think tank, argued that the country’s debt crisis has evolved into a governance and revenue emergency, as debt servicing obligations now exceed the federal government’s retained earnings.

According to the think tank, Nigeria’s public debt rose sharply from N87.38 trillion in June 2023 to N159.28 trillion by the end of 2025, with President Bola Tinubu’s administration accounting for about N65.9 trillion of the increase within its first two years in office.

The organisation in the brief titled: “Nigeria Is Borrowing to Breathe—and the Clock Is Ticking”, noted that Nigeria accumulated only about N12.06 trillion in debt from independence in 1960 up to 2015, meaning the current administration added more than five times that amount in just 24 months.

The report stated that while previous governments also contributed significantly to the country’s rising debt burden, the speed of accumulation under the current administration had intensified concerns over fiscal sustainability.

“President Bola Tinubu’s administration has added a further N65.9 trillion in just two years. To put that in perspective: it took Nigeria’s first 55 years of independence to accumulate N12 trillion in debt. The current administration has added more than five times that amount in 24 months,” it argued.

It recalled that Nigeria briefly became almost debt-free externally after the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo secured an $18 billion Paris Club debt relief package in 2005 and paid $12 billion to extinguish about $30 billion in external obligations.

You can't help but praise the president when you view his reforms from a neutral unbiased standpoint.

We're definitely not there yet, but we're on the right path under pbat

You're happy that Tinubu has fast-tracked the implementation of budget so that you and others go see money loot as usual, without doing anything in your constituencies.

Am some people will still have issues with this man for anything he does

Even some one that supports killing of innocent citizens
Sit at home by force on Monday without given them food or money to support them

That's not correct. Adeleke promised he would support him even before the election.

Person wey be proper 419

2015 to 2016 is 11 years, if you have not had any growht, please blame yourself not government. So answer to your first question for me is yes, and I do not get political favours so that you do not default to that.

Objective Nigerians who are are seeing the various metrics are not the people worried, it is mostly emotional folks who only think in terms of stomach infrastructure or short term who outburst like you have done now.

Power issue will get revolved at some point, you can be sure of that, just don't complain when you are asked to pay the cost reflective bill for it sha.

Not sure what to make of this your understanding of the statement by the House of rep member and my own follow-up.

How you arrived that they only started implementing 2026 budget in August and not understand that the man is saying there is improvement based on what he questioned sometime back is really beyond me.

Once there is not bitterness attached to you, you guys are never happy.
