Competent sources said that the President became more upset as more stunning revelations emerged that apart from the Calabar –Lagos Railway Project, the National Assembly equally expunged other key national infrastructural projects and also drastically reduced the votes earmarked for others.

Revealed: NASS slashed capital votes for Lagos-Ibadan Highway by N24 billion, 2nd Niger Bridge vote by N3.9 billion, Odukpani-Itu-Ikot Ekpene Road vote by N4.3 billion, Benin-Shagamu Road vote by N800 million, Itakpe-Warri Signalling Project by N302.9 million etec

The PDP components in NASS know that should PMB/APC succeed in implementing the above listed projects, they (PDP) loses their wailing rights and 2019 Presidency.

And to think virtually all the infractions are in the south speaks volume! So the common sense lawmakers and his bandwagons just sit in that NASS auditorium to warm bench is alarming.

GudluckIBB:
Ipod, wailers and children of hate.

Nass has slashed the vote of 2nd Niger bridge by 3.9 billion. What your clueless phd holder couldn't achieve, the "dullard" wants to help you people.
Let's see whom you will wail to this time

Buhari, teaching jonathan how to be firm as a president right from independence.
God bless buhari.

Nelkoko:

Sasuwa:

This is funniest comment i've ever seen

TPAND:
NASS did not do anything wrong by stealthily redirecting massive loots to their pockets. That is their job.

Quote me if you think am wrong

I guess you're right.

Let him construct 100 million roads and rails in those regions it doesn't move an ant, he is just too unpresidential and is vituperation comatose, Nigeria needs a father and dogged leader, not a war monger!

Me,my wife,kids,parents,siblings will survive this trying times and we shall not die the way it is we will die of old age Amen and will tell my kids that this world is a scam and he or she she should not bring more kids to this world an that I think I made a mistake to have brought then to the world but they should bear all the pins for the next generation but they should bring kids to this world because it hurts to live as a human

phillip4re:
now,we have someone who wanted to bring sanity,opposition rising from our so called representatives......all these projects are laudable if implemented but why nau?? "is this country cursed" ?who will deliver us?habaaaaaaa.....plz,let us stop recycling this NASS members.....we need activists,not politicians

Yes it's. The country was a scam. Lord Lugard and his bunch of 419ners used the word Nigeria to scam the people of their oil. Nigeria was never born out of the interest of the people inside it rather it was amalgamated to satisfy the selfish greed of the colonial master.

All they wanted was the oil. So u see the country is cursed. So much atrocities has been committed it the country...

OYAY:

And to think virtually all the infractions are in the south speaks volume! So the common sense lawmakers and his bandwagons just sit in that NASS auditorium to warm bench is alarming.

nah it means its only the southern projects there where slashed, why not slash teh Northern projects

"A father and dogged leader" like who?

Oooh, you think this is about oratory power?
No, it is about the political will to get things done.

I prefer a "war monger" that knows how best to win a war against corruption, unemployment, lack of infrastructure and put wailers out of their misery.

CecyAdrian:
Nigerians are very funny at the same time frustrating! We are saying there the budget have been "laced" and "unlaced" with outrageous figures and projects, mind blowing figures going into "rubbish" projects while people beneficiary projects are being ignored or pushed aside and some people are more concerned on the time it has taken to pass the budget.

So, PMB should pass a budget full of errors without correcting them because time has gone abi??

how about the budget of the presidency that was padded, nah who we go ask? The head is equally as guilty, so he has no moral ground to push forth his arguments hence this carry do attitude.

Beehshorp:
So dis "padded" budget still dey experience "menses".. I no even under stand again... Everything about this govt is inconclusive senseless meaningless and visionless..
Only bad news...we would av left Gej in power and compensated bubu with the COAS position since he is only good at fighting..

Bro go look for a bat this night. When you find one take a close look at its eyes. You will notice that the eyes are open but in reality it is blind. Not every eyes can see. Some are "BLINDER" (lol) than the bat.
I nor call you bat ooo but u know how far.

This presidency pad budget crap the senators sold to you is stale. The budget is the property of the executive. It's funny really when I hear pple shout padded. How can dey pad their own property. Maybe you need to explain what you understand by padding. I am forced to believe that many pple do not even know what the word "padding a budget" means.

These people are jokers and noise makers. They will continue uncovering and infractions till the end of the year. seems they are capable of handling nothing. I lack words to describe their impotency. okeeeee they thought governance is bread and zobo

The senators cause all this confusions to hoodwink some gullible pple considering the time allowed by our constitution for the budget to become a working document. Our law makers are the problem of this country. They have been doing this all along but this is the first time a Nigerian president will take them on. God will surely bless buhari.

Aside the fact that the respective ministers have either denied or offer explanation in their budget defence with the NASS, that the figures put on a budget item is high can not be referee to as padding. You can best call it "inflated amount".
Padding on the other hand is when you insert items that were not originally budgeted for or shuffle budgetary allocations without the permission or consent of the executive (budget owner).

your definition of a padded budget is out of the window way wrong.Ask anyone who deals with a budget don't just take my word for it
Padded budget definition bellow xx

Padding the budget means making the budget proposal larger than the actual estimates for the project. This is done either by increasing a project's expenses or decreasing its expected revenue. The goal of budget padding is to get an approval committee to grant an artificially high level of funding to the budget maker's proposed project. There is some contention over the exact definition of padding: some contend that inflating expenses to take expected inflation into account is responsible foresight rather than padding, while others see any increase beyond current estimates as padding.

here is ur own definition ::: Padding on the other hand is when you insert items that were not originally budgeted for or shuffle budgetary allocations without the permission or consent of the executive (budget owner).
very different.This is rather manipulation or pure thievery.

Dem no go release this budget this year tru tru sha

Missonas:
Dem no go release this budget this year tru tru sha

Na so we see am ooo

Very soon na eku budget go be the greeting

jamesharryson:
Its almost half a year and the budget for the whole year has not been appropriated. Are we really sure this change story is auguring well?

It can't be business as usual. Something has got to give. Would u sign a budget with so many infarctions? Change has come, it will take time. Let the purging continue

mumu... u want to compensate a retired Army General with COAS position. lwkmd. u must be a villager! simple english u cannot even write or speak. next time u wanna write d word "understand", dont stupidly break d word into two as u just stupidly did.

Oga Buhari, please implement what you have now. If you do not know, please understand that you can send supplementary budget to NASS as you did last year! Kilodeeee? This is half year and you are still "masturbating" the budget. Please, rise up and move forward oga!!!

emerged01:
If this is true,then I'm supporting PMB. We need to get it right once and for all

We Nigerians are so focused on Buhari ( I understand some of us are still pained by the election) but we fail to realise that our common enemy are those fat thugs who collect huge Wardrobe allowance for doing nothing other than approbating money for themselves!

Why dont you focus on those NASS who are padding the budget, instead of wailing on Buahri to pass a bad document into law?
