The headline is simply sensational and a figment of the imagination of the editors of cable news. The president was not misled and nothing in the piece above suggested that he was misled. He simply gave an anticipatory approval and he stated it clearly in his letter to the national assembly.

We had a deadline to beat and considering that we've been negotiating for this military equipment since the time of Jonathan, the presidents decision is the only patriotic option available. The money was paid directly into US governments treasury and not to middle men. That alone brings some level of confidence that corruption is not involved. It would have been worrying if cash was loaded on to a private jet and flown illegally to middle men in US as it was done during the Jonathan days.

It is now left for the national assembly to regularise the procurement by including it in the 2018 appropriation act that is still before them as requested by the president.

Get educated folks and stop allowing fake media hoodwink you.

Shut up already.

[b]The excess crude account does not need parliamentary approval as the account was created between the state and federal executive.


In court it may yet be declared an illegal account but until that is done it would continue to be operated.

This is the same account that Jonathan was dipping his sticky fingers into without consulting with the governors which eventually led to his sack.
In this case , the president did consult with the state executives.

Some very slow contributor is asking how the account was funded but his 386 processor brain hasn't considered our budget and the recent surplus gained.

The president should be commended for acting swiftly and in the best interest of the nation.

My friend, you are most ignorant.

Go and read about the principles guiding that account especially about how the Nat Assembly comes in.

He does not need parliamentary approval and yet he is writing letter to them......

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

My friend an illegality can never be substituted for legality.There is nothing like "anticipatory approval" clause in the Nigerian constitution.Do you put the cart before the horse Absolutely no! So support Buhari with your dignity held high.

plaetton:
There is no such thing as anticipatory approval in the Nigerian constitution.
The last rogue that used that term 'anticipatory approval' to his corrupt practices was disgraced and impeached as Senate President.

With this shinanigan called anticipatory approval, why even bother spending N125b yearly to maintain a Senate and House of Assembly ?
We should just let the president spend national resources as he wishes.

We are back to ' anything goes ' system of government.

It is obvious that Buhari has a Contempt for the democratic system of governance.

SalamRushdie:
Bro don't mind these clowns . Like "under recovery " became the new name for subsidy now " anticipatory approval" is the new name for stealing from govt treasury

Awoleesu:
'Misled'! By who?

Paperwhite:
Buhari remains a disgrace. Them sware for this president ni Guess it not another "Buhari is not aware syndrome"? Was buck passing really the reason why this failure of man was elected as president?
So unfortunate the NASS only fights when its selfish interests are @ stake otherwise Buhari should by now not only have been impeached but cooling/shinning his ass in jail.
This act of corruption perhaps may be responsible for the failed attempt to change the leadership of the Senate last week in order to get their rubberstamp stooges in place.
Sai baba zombies what sayeth you guys.Guess the man is still making the work difficult?
