But na wa oooh, after the whole noise and delay the Dullard still signed a heavily padded budget. I have this feelings he personally added some yams for his boys when he proposed an approximately N6tr budget. The NASS people noticed this and added their own yams not to be outdone by the dullard.

Nonsense from PDP as usual.

Do they think we don't know budget padding is as old as our democracy?

Didn't we read severally how OBJ and his ministers used to bribe the NASS to pass budget after executive padding?

Didn't we read how budget figures increased astronomically overnight after padding by NASS?

That we now officially know about budget padding is credit to PMB. His insisting to vet the budget before signing into law is commendable because those thieves at NASS would have had their ways as usual.
And that was why Nigeria rose to vote out the PDP.

I keep asking the same question too. Why did he wait until he was sacked before he spoke up?His outbourst was as a result of his removal. Nobody would have heard anything had he not been sacked as the chairman of the committee. This goes a long way to prove that this government is more corrupt that the previous. Just within a year, look at the monumental corruption going on.

The so called saints. According to the dullard, all his ministers are men of integrity. Whoever regards Abacha as a perfect leader just as Buhari had done is worse than Abacha.

Even GEJ confessed its existence but fold his arms as usual. We are glad to have APC and Buhari.
As far as am concerned APC and Buhari are folding their hands right now. It's beginning to look like Jibrin is a one man mopol. Why has no other representative or senator spoken on this? They can't claim not to know anything. Also remember Dambuzzau Buratai? Am not saying they are guilty but we will never know for sure because everything will be forgotten very soon including this.

Revelation? It's looking like a one man mopol thing here. Jibrin has been going about on his own since. And we shouldn't be happy with the presidency for the revelation. Jibrin is to thank for that. The reaction from the presidency is what we are expecting now.

So it's inly now that Jubrin is talking you're getting to know the budget was padded?

I wonder where you were when PMB insisted certain elements that found their ways into the budget must be removed. The only thing Jibrin's action is telling us is WHO DID WHAT. Not that padding was done because we already knew that long before now.

No. When nationa assembly insisted, the strategy PMB used was that any amount inserted by national assembly on constituency project will be executed for the constituency by the president. This was after he has been blackmailed and people did not really understand what was going on

I always wondered along these lines. Whilst not excusing former administrations that have habitually raped n looted d treasury including colonial masters that made sure they had permanent access to natural resources of Africa; still 'believing' the change mantra spiced with sainthood above reproach of APC members, I'd like to state clearly that padding implies that some fake projects were inserted or bloated figures imputed into the budget. As we saw, some figures and line items were repeated multiple times, some even from previous years.

The question then is: if d presidency demanded a 'clean up' before assent which the NASS announced that it did and d President accepted same and signed, how come the original figure and the final figure signed remained practically the same? Nothing was removed? Or it was just moved around?

If the budget was actually cleaned up and questionable areas expunged to give life to the 'real budget of change' what is Jibrin talking about? The budget Mr Incorruptible Integrity signed or the first one that got stolen?

Can APC supporters here convince me that Mr Buhari and his darling ministers could not have been aware of this madness? I'll concede he's too much of an ignoramus but is this not d height of wickedness perpetrated by the APC who are in d majority and d ruling party?

Some dolts have already come to say that this revelation is credit to Buhari and I wonder how that can be when despite his acclaimed anti-corruption stance he presented such a dirty docunent in the first place and even with subsequent revelation n exposures, he still signed the same damning document that today Jibrin and Dogara will not allow us hear word.
If a person makes a racket about an anomaly, condemns same and proposes the greatest cure n yet perpetuates the same anomaly and even exacerbatea it with an increase of almost 2 trillion in the face of low funding options, has that person really made a change? Or is worsening an already bad situation the envisaged change?

I am weak!
I think what happened was that fund for others were reduced while they include theirs, e.g., the antiviral drugs provision that was slashed. The padding was more of reappropriation to nonsense for their own benefit

Budget padding had always been the norm under PDP administrations.

Imagine if it was during GEJ'S administration this was discovered........ he would have personally buried the case himself.

It's Buhari's continued refusal to sign the padded budget that called attention to this act that had bled the Nation for years under PDP.


They have no moral right to talk.
LETS ACCEPT THAT BUDGET PADDING IS NORMS IN PAST ADMINISTRATIONS, so are you using it to validate your party blatant stealing and raping of our common but scarce resources? REMEMBER YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BRING CHANGE, NOT CONTINUATION OF ILLEGALITIES, lets assume that pdp do budget padding, must you also do the same, OR IS JUST MATTER OF TURN BY TURN, pdp has stolen apc must steal their own?

Don't you mind them,we know very well that pdp introduced budget padding this is a reason why people like mark and co. Can do anything to come back to the national assembly,if nigeria has any other party to be called opposition,good,but not pdp.On what ground can they stand to challenged the apc?

You don't have any cheap point here bros.,get the salient points raised and bury your head in shame for the CHANGE SLOGAN you peddle from inception,is it not this same budget they refuse to sign for months thereby delaying implementation at the end is it not that same value of 6+ trillion he approved, is it not that same budget that padded was still going on.....why the revelation now which you claim is a plus to your stooge....if not for the fact that he JIBRIN was relieved from the chairmanship position will he have made the revelation.......Just like that fool that talk about EKITIgate.....take it or leave it APC is worst than any other party know to this world....The word Zombie may not fade soon with the continuous springing up of people like you.

I'm sure you're aware Saraki and Dogara forced themselves in those positions without the party's approval.

APC has fought hard to have them removed...... don't you follow what's happening?

Infact, it will not even be discovered. This has been the practice since 1999 but you will never hear anything close to that. But Nigerians, being what we are, openness is a crime. The present administration is not inclined to such executive/legislative criminality and that is why it seems to be the first ever to bring such issue to public notice. Also, when the president refused to sign the budget on the account of this padding, what was public reaction? Nigerians seem to prefer administration in which everything is hidden away from them.
Re: Padded Budget: PDP & Jibrin's Revelations by mrmetoo1: 9:05am On Aug 02, 2016
Let's not forget one important thing. The person doing the revelation is an APC member and not from our ineffectual opposition. This one that PDP sucks media now wants to jump on it like they're the ones that had anything to do with this is hilarious. Where were their HOR members and senators when this was going down?? How come even though they're opposition, not one alarm was raised. Simple answer.. PDP will unite with anyone to steal money. While far from perfect, at least APC members ate exposing themselves with the support of the executive. In the days of PDP, this wouldn't even have been a story. Even the Jibrin won't be able to come out to talk about the corruption because before now, corruption wasn't a thing.
