It is not illegal. D document is d president budget. The president is d author. As long as NASS has not worked on it, he can ammend it. Nothing wrong in amending it. Maybe he erroneously did not follow protocol, but he did not break any law.
@op pls dnt justify stealing.Morally it's wrong.presidency would have written to d senate requesting for d budget rather than stealing it ok.

As far as I am concerned Buhari's gaffe is becoming excessive. There is simply no justification to this act of amending a budget in such a ridiculous manner even when it as not been passed. This is point blank stupidity.

This is a very good time for Buhari to seat up n most importantly fire anyone responsible for this unfortunate incident. I believe the man in charge of the budget at this stage also need to be fired simply for allocating more fund for food n car than the previous Jonathan's govt we all condemned.

Buhari should know his foolishness is being compiled to be be campaigned with in 2019. He can be rest assured that I will definitely not be on the street in 2019 like I was in 2014 campaigning for votes on his behalf not even if he transformed Nigeria into Eldorado with all this barrage of cluelessness which happen to be my reason for not supporting Jona 2014.

This is certainly one foolishness too many considering the several shortcoming he has m bedevilling his ascendancy to the presidency.

Your attention is needed on this thread to defend the new budget you want us to hail.

I hate calling names, but you're just a shamleess yam-eating goat looking for accomplices.

If there is any appropriation the senates feels is too much, the senate can reduce or remove it. It is within d power of d senate to do so.

We should commend d president 4 listening to us on nairaland and Nigeria masses in general for reducing aso rock feeding from 500million naira in d first version to 100Million naira in the new version.

This is better than in d past were president defend 1billion naira for Aso rock feeding

We should commend d president for reducing Car in presidency from 3.4billion in d first version to 340million in the new one. That is 90% drop.

I agree he was not well advised on how to go about it, but it was done with d interest of d masses. But we should focus on end point of the action and not on frivolities PDP are feeding d masses with.

We should understand that Buhari was not under any compulsion to reduce some of those extravagance. He could have ignored d criticism of d masses and leave the waste in d budget. But he listen to us and amended it.

Why is it not an issue in the House of Representative? The Budget was not only given to Senate. The budget was presented to Joint National Assembly. Not to senate alone. House of rep has no issue with d amendment. But criminal Saraki in d senate is trying to over blow it to protect himself from code of conduct tribunal because the supreme court decision is close by on the 5th of February. He is wasting his time. If Saraki thinks he can connive with PDP to blackmail the president into killing the anti-corruption drive of the president, he is making a big mistake .

The Budget has not be signed into law. It has not be approve. So it can be changed or ammended. The president saw an error and chose to correct. I agree and prefer that the president should have been more open about it even though wailers could have as well wail and call him incompetent. I believe he was wrongly advised on how to do it, but the overall intention is noble. Nigerians should learn to praise noble things rather than destroying it with useless technicalities and partisanship.


PDP should not be taken seriously because they dont care a bit about Nigeria masses.
They only care about protecting thier criminal members and looters.

Next time the president must ensure he prove read every document before making it public to avoid this kind of embarrassment in the future.

As far as i am concern, this whole noise on d budget is due to the fact that the President and Saraki are not in good terms. So senate President is making unneccessary noise about it.

There is no illegality in what d presidency did. No law was broken. He may have missed some protocol in doing it, no single law was broken.

As a member of Nigeria masses, I know when things is done for the interest of d masses. This case is clearly in d interest of d masses. I will rather focus on d nobility of the intention and action of the president, than focus on the technicality which is being overblown out of proportion in d senate by the senate president to protect himself from prosecution.

I have seen both version. They are almost 99% the same. The majoy difference is the reduction in Extravagance in the presidency in the new one.

The senate is a joke for childishly over blowing and dramatising the issue.


THE BUDGET WAS SUBMITTED TO BOTH SENATE AND HOUSE OF REP. HOUSE OF REP SPEAKER SAID NOTHING IS MISSING WHY IS SENATE PRESIDENT MAKING ALL THE NOISE

APC? SHAME!!! He wanted to amend the budget presented to NASS, because he listens and cares about the masses, why didn't he go through the appropriate channel to do that instead he decided to secretly take it away from NASS. See tell your self the truth, this is the biggest blunder ever by this govt in the history of Nigeria. What does PDP have to do with this. Blame game and propaganda can't work for you guys in all things.

NO,
Your submission that Nigerians should commend Buhari is insulting and embarrassing to us.

Commend for changing figures while the budget still has many elements of fraud?
Commend for not going through the right channel to withdraw and present new budget.

There's nothing to commend here, this is an international disgrace and presidency must be chastised so they won't make such blunder in future.

No positive to take from this drama at all except Nigeria is a nation where there's no respect for processes and rules.

My post have already address that as d perfect thing to do. That is why i said in my post it wasnt properly done.
What is the basis for determining if a budget is properly submitted or withdrawn!!?? How you feel about the personality involved!!?? The perceived intentions involved - I mean is there a legal/judicial instrument for determining intentions - or documented rules and regulations!!??

Wait but you said you had seen both budgets!! Abi that wan sef na propaganda??

Obviously you had very little information before you created this thread!!

Nonetheless, I salute your courage on defending your opening post; even though it foundation had no trace of information o rtruth in it; else you would know like some Nigerians that the amended budget was padded!!

Whether it was Sarki/Buhari problem Oooh; whether it was Budget office Oooh; whether it was Buhari's Ministers. In the end, he submitted a budget that he clamied was amended to address issues that he signed - obviously without studying it - that was padded!!

All he has to do?? Apologise to Nigeria - bothh fans, critics and the indifferent - , put in checks to make sure it doesn't happen again and then move on!! That's how good leaders do it.............. grin

His fans will love him more, his critics will hate him more and the indifferent will just keep on looking!!

I stopped reading after the first paragraph

You applauded a man for reducing his feeding to 100 MILLIONAIRE naira. Are you not ashamed of yourself? A nation where majority of them are living in less than 1 dollar a day and you applaud that,one single man uses more than a million naira to feed himself.
