Staro:
APC and propaganda are one and the same thing.
It's unfortunate a country's president gets so deeply involved in propaganda.

By right, a president should only speak FACTS.
Citizens should be able to take their president's words to the bank.

In Nigeria, the opposite is the case.

I remember recently when president Buhari kept playing up the issue of Obasanjo spending $16b on power.
I mean, this is a country's president with access to every record and knows deep down his heart that there was never a $16b anywhere spent on power
You got the point

Politics › Factcheck: Did NASS Delay 2019 Budget For 7 Months As Claimed By Mr Buhari? by Shikini(op):
Politicians will always be politicians. They are all the same from president, governors, Assembly men, ministers (non-technocrats), ruling party to opposition party. The Nigerian version of a 'Politician' appears worse because of our penchant for deceit and outright lies with intention to blackmail or pass the buck.

Factcheck: Did Saraki and Dogara delay 2019 budget for 7 months as claimed by President Buhari in his NTA interview?

Below is a countdown to the passage of the 2019 budget

1) December 14, 2018: Buhari writes NASS, says I will present 2019 budget on Wednesday, December 19, 2018

11) May 2, 2019: NASS to transmit approved 2019 budget for president's assent
https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/national-assembly-transmits-2019-budget-to-buhari-on-thursday.html

12) May 27, 2019: President Buhari signs 2019 budget
https://punchng.com/breaking-buhari-signs-2019-budget/

*** My OBSERVATION: The 2019 budget spent exactly 4 months and 13 days with NASS ( Dec 19, 2018 - May 2, 2019). How the president arrived at 7-months is unclear. Besides, submitting a budget to NASS on December 19th few days into Christmas/New Year recess was very late. The executive should have been more proactive or 'patriotic' by submitting the budget much earlier (say September 2018) knowing the first quarter of 2019 was already locked down for general elections.

Buhari and APC plays ludo with your head and that of PDP members.....

Another Modusherif in PDP camp this time as a Governor, Matawalle is an ANPP stunch supporter and former member,
What you ameatuers dont know is that it was APC member that filed a suite that dislodge both Yari and Marafa's men for this PDP guy to have a smooth sail. First Victory Visit of an elected person is always to their sponsors and Godfather
Oga, stop your lies with your fake pictures.
Matawalle has not paid any visit to Buhari yet

$16m is roughly 6 billion Naira.
Meanwhile, the husband claims to be fighting corruption.

I like this woman's guts so much and I strongly believe she will make a much
better president than her dummy husband.

2) Chief Awolowo from Ijebu land sited OAU in Ife

3) Zik from Onitsha sited UNN in Nsukka

4) then President Yakubu Gowon from Plateau sited the FCT in Niger State
