No need to flog a dead horse. The Lagos-Calabar project was never in the budget in the first place. The budget copy is available all over. It was put up for download by the budget office on their site. Buhari is just looking for distractions for the mess he is in.

Publishing a picture online of the president going through a 1800 page document was enough to tell anyone this was all propaganda. The APC are not serious and not ready for governance. This is how 419 scam groups behave. They throw a lot of hot air and puff and huff aimlessly all day with zero substance. It is all so pathetic

Also, remember that the reason the budget was submitted to the NASS in the first place is so they can scrutinise it and remove or add whatever is necessary. You cannot now accuse them of actually doing their job. You cannot berate them for being efficient and competent! I can't believe how kindergarten Buhari and his team are. Such a shame!!!

Ipob are you high on weed?

Four months no budget just as we waited forever to have his saintly ministers who have delivered nothing of his campaign promises.
How much longer do we have to wait for real change?

However, Jibrin took to his Twitter handle to respond to allegations levelled against the National Assembly and specifically the Committee on Appropriation.

In a series of tweets, he addressed some of the issues one after another.

In the tweets, he said, “The Lagos-Calabar rail (line project) was never included. How could NASS have removed what was not there? But the nation is being misled.

“This is unfortunate as it is quite clear to all and sundry that #Budget2016 and all its headaches and controversies didn’t emanate from NASS.

Someone should tell this bleeping dullard that we are not in a military era

It is no longer business as usual.



BTW where was senator Ben Bruce. Oga common sense. Why hasn't he said anything about the expunged capital project.



Did the common sense elude him on Floor of the house as usual?


Bunch of thieving thieves committing thievery

He has spoken and demanded an apology from people like you and many people have been apologising to him on his Twitter TL. There was no Lagos-Calabar project in the budget submitted in the first place so there was nothing like expunging of such a capital project

Really! so the presidency and is clowns expect the Nass to leave the budget of fraud as was presented to them without amendment. Truth most suffice at last , this shows that the corruption (padding) was made by them and were disappointed to see it corrected by Nass .

Hey! This is beyond party politics and that is where you people remain myopic. Do you think it is all about one upmanship? No! It is about patriotism and commitment to the citizens who put those eejits in power!

A synchronised relationship b/w the Legislature and the Executive does not in any way require some dead party demands or interference with the independence of both bodies. It is about good n mature governance that must translate to improved lives and dividends of democracy for the citizens! The citizens come first! The moment politics holds sway over and above the people then such government is dead on arrival.

Is Saraki not an APC member? So what if he wasn't a party's godfather's choice? Is that why the nation/citizens must be made to endure such hard n biting circumstances while they don't even concede or partake of the sacrifices we are expected to make for a better tomorrow?

Wtf is synchronised relationship Common wake up and stop dreaming. This is politics not alice in wonderland fairytales!

And btw u jst made my point. U were happy wen saraki didnt listen to the Godfather. So why blame the godfather now Direct ur anger to the individual senators, not the party since u said they shldnt answer the party.

Let us be fair.

WHO INSTALLED THE PRESENT LEADERSHIP OFTHE SENATE? PDP OF COURSE. and you wonder why things are not working out?

When Saraki snatched the position like a Yahoo boy, you PDP criminals supported and hailed him. Now that PDP influences everything in the National Assembly we can see confusion everywhere.

Foreseeing issues unspoken of in this matter, budget signing case might extend to somewhere arnd june/july...and 2016 batch A Pcm are rotten their time away awaiting the so called budget to be signed.

Maybe the budget will be signed by december dis year

Balderash!

The Presidency never said it was in the first edition but that the Hon Minister for National Planning Udo Udoma argued it's case in the house and it was included in the second version. It was the second version ( padding free) that was reviewed and passed by the house. In the second edition it was there.

I dislike the use of obfuscation to make points. Deal with the issue on the merits. The budget is not a party budget it is a national budget.

Both PDP and APC senators are up on arms about the exclusion of Lagos - Calabar railway line and it's replacement with constituency projects such as boreholes, tricycles and town hall meetings. Items already provided for in the bloated salary of every senator.

If you want to catch the PoFRN out, monitor execution of his administrations programs. The budget is for every single Nigerian and not for a party or the people that voted for it.

Enough of narrow minded part thinking. The next election isn't until 2019.

Section 80 of the 1999 constitution gave powers to the NASS to appropriate budget for the nation. I have never seeing a govt. So obsessive in handling national issues as this govt. What is wrong in the executive working with the NASS to work things out rather than castigating and ridiculing in the court of public opinion! For God sake, PMB and his party seems to have successfully intimidated the judiciary and now the may be successful in their NASS agenda! In all fairness, PMB, hiss party are extremely immature, their direction is comatose and they are leading Nigeria to something deadly!

Something of national importance that really affect everyone is being treated with this much laxity is so amazing,,maybe wen they see ppl on the street chanting change of government then they would sit in their country and rule,and I hail our one and only president of the world.

Okay, whatever the case, be it the presidency's fault or the NASS' fault, the crux of the matter is that Buhari says he wants the project to be in the budget and for whatever reason, the project isn't in there. So Buhari now wants the project included, Simple!

PDP influences what?
Who are the majority?
If the minorities are the one controlling the NASS, then
Apc don't know what they are doing.

Ur analytical sense is on sleep mode!.....I wonder how u can blame d legislature for this!....Buhari himself acknowledged his initial budget was faulty, nd now he received a corrected version nd refused to sign it and d only reason on media is cuz of a railway project...and to think dere is something called a supplementary budget.....jst like sm1 hav said, buhari is jst punishing Zoogerians for rejecting him 3times.....I cast out d Zombie in u by the Fire of common sense!

Nobody is intimidating anybody here, quit all these pointless analysis and blame. If there is any reason behind the whole friction, it is most probably cos money isnt changing hands anymore from presidency to NASS to get things done.

Saraki works for the PDP. That is plain. We all know how he snatched power. The NASS is steered by the PDP.

Most corrupt set of people are the lawmakers even Ben Bruce aka twitter senator didn't mention anything about there own budget but got around ranting about common sense

This people have started their madness of constituency project so as to loot wen deir is less revenue, and even the executive too shud be serious for ones by dialogue and let's move forward people are really suffering. Enough of all dis brouhaha.

Thanks Bro for enlighten many zombies that still have hope to be salvage from that evil spirit of chains . How we wish we have 95% of true Nigerians that thinks and reasons like us that face the facts on ground without mixing tribalism and religions that makes Africa countries slaves to it.

Seems the members of the national assembly are still the same selfish/greedy bunch. Nigerians we must start recalling erring national assembly members. And next time you want to vote/support a candidate,do so wisely.
