We’ve right to pad—Abonta

In his reaction to the transmission of the budget to the Presidency, Chairman House Committee on Public Petitions, Uzoma Nkem-Abonta (PDP, Abia) said the transmission was a welcome development but noted that people should stop saying lawmakers padded the budget.

“We’ve right to pad or depad because we have legal padding and illegal padding, what we do is legal padding which is the right to appropriate.

“So, when people say we are padding the budget, they are simply asking us not to do our job.”

LadyExcellency:
In every democracy, the Legislature has the purse and can pad or depad the budget as they so wish.

It is no controversy, Legislature owns the national purse.

PDP is a useless party filled with illeterate pot bellied old fools. so what do you expect. If you ask any PDP politician to define the word economies-of-scale they don't know. Like i said we need age cap and educational requirement cap on our presidency. We must see certificates.
