Reveal the running costs for Buhari, Osinbajo, ministers, Okupe dares Sagay




Former presidential spokesman, Dr . Doyin Okupe , has challenged the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti -Corruption, Prof . Itse Sagay , to carry out his threat to reveal details of the running costs of the principal officers of the National Assembly .




He , however , added that Sagay should also include that of President Muhammadu Buhari , Vice President Yemi Osinbajo , ministers, special advisers to the President , and other top government functionaries, including himself.



Okupe , in a statement on Tuesday , also said failure by Sagay to give correct figures of the running costs of all top members of the Buhari government and the leadership of the federal parliament within 24 hours will affect his credibility .



Okupe said , “ I find the threat by Professor Sagay on allowances and running costs of the leadership of the National Assembly very interesting. It will aid our fight for transparency in public affairs.




“ However , he should not be selective . For us to take him seriously, he should include details of the running cost of the office of the President , Vice President , mnisters , special advisers , heads of government agencies , parastatals and even himself. Afterall , all the salaries , allowances and running cost come from the same public coffers.”



Okupe also challenged Sagay to disclose how much he is paid , and how much he spends on his numerous trips within and outside the country from funds donated by international agencies .



He said , “ For Prof . Sagay to say that the country would explode if he gives out certain figures is inciting , considering the current volatile and tensed situation in the country .



“ It will also be interesting if Sagay can tell Nigerians the achievements of his committee in the last 30 months that it has been spending government money .



“ With the Corruption Perception Index rating recently released by Transparency International , it does appear that Sagay ’s committee has neither helped Nigeria nor the President who set up his committee and funded it with tax - payers’ money .



“ Sagay should sit down with members of his committee and develop position papers and policies that will actually help the anti -corruption war and make it more effective .”

sagay, over to you...


what most Nigerians fail to realise is that every allowance the NAss gets, the presidency also gets.


pmb & the VP also collect constituency allowance, wardrobe allowance, sitting allowance etc.

Zombies will atck Okupe While leaving d message

That is looking for the impossible in a mathematical equation

If Prof Sagay has some honor left in him, he should take up Dr Okupe's challenge.

Who takes Sagay serious?

Even the APC called him a "rogue elephant".

We wont be hearing from sagay soon

I have always wondered why whenever people want to talk about the wastefulness of governance, they remain stuck at the NASS. They see d budget figures for the office of the president, amounts set aside for trips and so on yet don't say anything. Why aren't those that like to attack the NASS asking for the cost of foreign medical care for Buhari and Yusuf for instance?

Sagay needs to publish these figures so the explosion of the country can be once for all not piecemeal.

Everyone should prevail on Prof. Sagay to release the figures very quickly.

He shouldn't even bother about the president, governors and other political appointees any longer.

All I know is that as soon as he release his figures on the NASS spendings, the foot soldiers and Internet warriors of Saraki would also expose the spendings of the Executives and some other can of worms.

In that way, the public would be better informed

Dear Prof Sagay, just shock us with Saraki's NASS profligacy

He , however , added that Sagay should also include that of President Muhammadu Buhari , Vice President Yemi Osinbajo , ministers, special advisers to the President , and other top government functionaries, including himself.
Of course Sagay is just simply being sanctimonious as expected of all APC appointees.He should also tell Nigeria the source of monies used for the APC's presidential election,Buhari/Yusuf medical treatment etc.
Loud-mouthed idiot.

He will suddenly turn deaf and dumb.

sagay, over to you...

even .much .more and they are all elected, you can even notice the difference from their convoy ,the executive is turning the heat on the NASS because this 8th NASS has refused to be rubber stamp, which I think is good for democracy.

We are waiting

Let him release details about money spent on buhari's medical treatment first...

Nigeria �� is gonna be great again but please /bikonu don't ask me when ooo... �

And that was how sagay closed the chapter and moved on......

When buhari and osibanjo were both telling you, we have forfeited our salary for the betterment of the nation you believed it.

Sagay the onus is on you to accept the challenge and protect your assertions.

When someone says that he is free from corruption and he cannot tender his tax returns or declare his assets, it raises questions in the minds of the populace. How can Buhari be fighting corruption when all of his appointees are opposed to transparency.
Goodluck remain gold compared to all these thieves. We do not know how much leaves our economy per day. Everyday they pump in millions of weighty dollars into the forex market but we do not know how much the forex market pump into our economy or our pockets. It is only a one-wayflow.

Cattle herders that rake in billion of Naira per week do not pay taxes, but the hotel Kanu Nwankwo invested his hard-earned cash in has been confiscated for no genuine reason. Bullhari's son had an accident as a result of rebellion to the rule of law which should have been a criminal offence and it became a national thing to send get-well wishes even on newspapers while on the other hand people were being slaughtered like wild geese in Benue and no one cared.
In Canada doctors are protesting against high income while in Nigeria Doctors are proud owners of fisheries as a way to escape poverty.

So

Yes we are almost there


I said it we are almost there


Now the game will start and the whistle will be blown off , to your tent oh Nigerians

The rise and fall of APC


BLESSED IS THE MAN ABOVE ME BECAUSE YOU ARE IN BETWEEN TWO IBKs

Alright,thereafter we compare it to what GEJ was spending while in power ..

The future of the nation is been spent on salaries..

k

Sorry don't you know he is a asslicker to Bubu government.

You know that Bubu is a disaster.

true talk even though Okupe was somewhat sarcastic

The brainless goat/cow cannot try that...

mean while nairaland babalawos has been busted as a fake and scammer. check my last topic
