The ineffectual buffoon was aware of it and yet kept mute.

Thank God for giving us PMB, now even the commonest of man have an idea of Nigeria's budget. That's is sanity, integrity and openness at work.


May God shower his blessings on Buhari

Pls stop that. Despite contesting for presidency for 12 years, your hero took a padded document to the NA and called it budget of change. Nobody would have known that the budget was padded and full of errors if not for the prying eyes of the Legislators and members of the public .

The difference between Buhari and Jonathan is what Yorubas call Ekpon - Balls

Gej was a weakling whose main interest in life is based on alcoholic beverages

The MDAs and the senate tried the same nonsense with Buhari and we all know the outcome

Buhari is the best president Nigeria has ever had

In this life, I try as much as possible no to dey insult/hate one people wey don achieve pass me, but always hope someday I go also fit achieve like them or more than them.

You no ever see am drink alcohol, yet u feel say na all him dey drink.

so the padding no be today

thunder fire all the paddists

I second your motion

danot1030:
yea you are right, he would rather allowed everyone have his way so that the corruption can continue. Jonathan is fitting to lead mumu like you, ode. How did come about smartsyn for a moniker, please change to either mumusyn or odesyn.

you've make an excellent point, but it would've been better if you didn't have to insult me at the process. Your opinion don't have to be in-line with mine

Let us give credit to he whom it is due.
Did PMB or the execvutive discover the padding in the budget or was it the national assembly who did?
If the national assembly didn't do a proper job don't you think the padded budget which PMB/executive presented to the national assembly would have sailed through with all the padding.
I think the whole accolades about discoveeing the padding on the budget should go tp the national assembly and at the same time blame be apportioned appropriately to PMB/executive for failing to do proper vetting of the bdget before presentment to the house.

NorthernParrot:
Do you have comprehension problem? Mr I know it all.
EB/GEJ identified lots of padding in his budgets but couldn't do anything.

isn't that like keeping mute? mumu

Can you please tell us what exactly our new president has done about the padding that STILL exists in the 2016 budget?
How many people has he sacked AND prosecuted in the court?
Thanks.
Otherwise he has also kept MUTE, not so?

My brother u've said it all. U hit d nail on the head but cnt justify PMB to be the best President yet but i know he's on the right part.

SweetBoyFriend:
Turn to your neighbor and ask him/her "Have you blamed Goodluck Jonathan today"

The post is not about blaming GEJ but pointing out one of his patriotic position which charlatan and praise singers refused to let him do anything about, another side of his weakness is recognizing where the problem lies but not having the courage or political will to face it head on.

omenka:
Sheer devilry.

mischievously chuckling..

Please irrespective of your political affiliation, do not support what is wrong, GEJ signed the said budget without minding the padding, however, PMP ensured that the padding was reduced to the bearest minimum before he signed it. Did u not read that some people that participated in the padding lost their jobs?

When in the past administrations has the content of the budget been scrutinized like in this dispensation? that is because PMB refused to play to the gallery as was customary in the past.

Have a nice day.

Happiness87:
before you rush to 2012, buhari said he will deal with those that tempered with the budget, what has he done?

Bros, u are very much correct, but let me make it clearer for you

Jonathan was not a weakling as you said. If he was, he wouldn't have been able to handle ur OBJ the way he did

The MDAs and Senate kw that if they try such with Jonathan, it will easily be detected by the President (Jonathan) So they did not try it with him cos of fear of Jonathan's sharp brain.

They tried it with PMB and he signed and sent it to Senate for approval only for it to be detected by the senate.

PMB had to device criminal way to retrieve the budget. You know about it bros.

If not for the teaming opposition in the house, the budget would have bn signed and passed, fully padded.

Stop been unnecessarily tribalistic.

Stop joining western media to abuse our leaders, even Ben Murray Bruce was angry and lambasted DailyMail for insulting Buhari as self appointed peoples president. Ineffectual Buffoon is a term used by Tolu Ogunlesi in his article in Economist posted with a pseudonym.
We have our own home ugly terms such 'clueless, wailer, zombie, ipod, go slow etc use those if you must insult but dont quote western media.

The GCFR can not sack an individual overnight, this is democracy due process must be followed, real culprits identified before taking action.

It's ppl like that would hav started shouting Baba is dictator Baba is undemocratic baba is that and that.

Democratic procedure will be followed

If u mean what u post here and it's base on patriotism I hv to say I love it.


But if it just because that the foreign media highlighted the incapacitation of ur hero and labelled him "ineffectual buffoon" u suddenly detest it.... I say go and jump into the lagoon

Did Buhari forget that we are in a democracy when he sacked this man below?
Beyond the sack, why has he not prosecuted the man in court as is the practice in a democracy, if indeed the man was guilty of anything?

NIGERIA'S BUHARI SACKS BUDGET CHIEF AFTER JUST SIX MONTHS
2/16/16

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked the head of the country’s budget office just six months into a four-year term.

Yahaya Gusau, the director general of Nigeria’s budget office, will be replaced by Tijjani Abdullahi, a statement from the Nigerian presidency said on Monday. Gusau was appointed in August 2015 for a term of four years but has overseen a period of controversy surrounding the 2016 budget, which was presented by Buhari in December 2015.

adanny01:
Some people would still think Buhari let his budget get padded.

Buhari is still the first president to reject a padded budget. GEJ was aware but never did a thing.

And I guess it was never padded under Yar'Adua and OBJ

NorthernParrot:
The budget was padded by the NA guys u are hailing

That's a half truth. The initial budget submitted to the NA by Buhari was padded by the executive. Why were directors in budget office sacked?

if GEJ had gone ahead to sack the guilty MDA'S directors then in 2012, there would have been fear & caution in 2013 & beyond

but he did nothing & they carried on as usual

my hero my foot

Standing5:
For those still blaming Buhari for challenging the budget padding tradition at the expense of a delayed passage of the 2016 budget.

Dude, you really need to go back to school and learn use of English language, thats why zombies are usually making mistakes, incase you didnt notice, the former president was talking about lobbying and not padding, you should have tried to find out the difference before disgracing yourself with this post, lobbying is a practice found all over the world were agents try to lobby senators to pass their ministries budgets on behalf of the ministry, it's done even in america (Google lobbying in capitol hill) and its not the same as padding where criminals smuggle un approved figures into the budget, learn the difference pls.

pls name one of them?

for the records pmb never read the budget, if he did he would have seen the padding before it was sent to national assembly.

it was after the figures leaked and outcry from public that pmb knew.

Talking about GEJ, budgets were padded at National Assembly, after thorough scrutiny, the corrupt officials bribe the senators and reps to inflate the amount.


can't you see the difference?

you are free to worship your god, buhari anyway

before you talk of scrutiny, it is a force from the masses that even gives buhari the awareness that something is wrong else he won't know jack....


you guys are so funny, depending without thinking through …

You still typed that crap after reading the article?! It's wiser sometimes to be silent when you have nothing to contribute.

Your ilks and yourself are ineffectual Bs.

your username is a misnomer.

Krismart:

Thats beside the point.

Even if it has been a long tradition since the inception of Nigeria in 1914, it is wrong and its good that finally a leader thought it wise to stop it.

Smartsyn:

Nor did he find any solution to the problem. He lacked balls just like all ineffectual buffoons, which is bad enough. Now add the fact of being married to a woman like he is married to, the two other female co-Presidents whi all boxed hm in, and his love for the hard stuff (kain-kain), and the result is yhe situation that you have in Nigeria today.

As much as I like Buhari and his tactics, I'm afraid if things continue like this he would eventually lose all the support he gained from the SW and other non Northern areas. Sometimes change must be done gradually then at times it must be done fast. Nigerians demand the type of change witnessed in Lagos under Fashola, though it wasn't perfect but even the critics could not ignore the change!
