lol funny dude.

LadyExcellency:
You quoted me out of context. My previous comment made mention of your submission because I added "if it can be proved that the goods (arms delivery) or services (national media orientation publicity) were actually delivered though not statutorily approved or budgeted for by relevant organs of the government required by law but were endorsed by the President.

SUBWAY101:
But some people on nairaland pretends like there region got nothing from the bail out fund. Smh

LadyExcellency:
In Nigeria, things are not yet normal. This goes with previous and present Heads of States and President though it is quite regrettable.

In our clime, the question and answer is basically who gave the order and the final approval. Was it endorsed by the President? If yes that settles it.

Recently, President Buhari approved an exchange rate of N160 to $1 for christian pilgrimages to Jerusalem when the actual exchange rate is N195. Is PMB right to act in that direction against the extent laws of the Federation. Hell No but as our President, no qualms.

Abugab:
Bail out funds for states that were crippled shouldn't be that much of an issue considering the exigencies of the time.
When I read diverted I thought it was for another thing.
Does this lawmaker prefer the masses in the various states suffer or wasn't it a good thing to have intervened with the funds to save Nigeria from the imminent collapse?

If we had enough in our reserves we wouldn't be in this mess but the past administration plundered our boom.

The utility principle should be our law makers guiding principle.

chukwudi44:
Exactly my point!! Once Dasuki can prove the arms were actually procured,the case is dead on arrival!!!

I can see most of the people that were quoting law on that NOI thread have all disapeared!!! Bunch of nitwits!!

chukwudi44:

[size=3pt]Rep sues Buhari, five others over N700b bailout fund to states
By Terhemba Daka Abuja and Ikenna Onyekwelu Abakaliki on July 16, 2015 5:02 am





A MEMBER of the House of Representatives, Hon. Igariwey Iduma Enwo, yesterday dragged President Muhammadu Buhari and five others to court over his release of bailout funds to state governments, contending that the presidential directive contravenes Sections 162, 163, 164 and 168 of the 1999 Nigerian constitution as amended.

Other functionaries joined with the president in the suit filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja; include the Attorney General of the Federation, Federal Ministry of Finance, Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, (RMFAC); Accountant-General of the Federation and the Auditor-General of Federation.

The plaintiff explained that the originating summon was brought pursuant to order 3 rule 9 (1) (2) of the Federal High Court rules and under the inherent jurisdiction of the Court.

In the writ of summons taken out by his counsel, Messrs Okey Muo Aroh, Igariwey formulated two questions for determination including whether having regards to the combined effect of Section 162, 163, 164 and 168 of the 1999 Constitution as amended, which prescribes the way and manner public revenue shall be distributed from the Distributable Pool Account, (DPA); the 1st defendant can by itself or by way of fiat, issue a lawful directives to the 3rd to 6th defendants to appropriate, distribute, allocate and disburse public revenue from the DPA to the federal, state and local governments without the prescription of the National Assembly.

The second issue for determination is, whether having regards to the combined effect of Section 162, 163, 164 and 168 of the 1999 constitution as amended, which stipulates procedures public revenue shall be distributed from the Distributable Pool Account, (DPA); the 1st defendant can unilaterally without recourse to the National Assembly, distribute, allocate and disburse public revenue by way of grants in aids or any other manner from the DPA to the federal, state and local governments.

In the suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/622/15; Igariwey is seeking among other reliefs, a declaration that all allocation, distribution and disbursement of public revenue from the DPA made by the defendants to the federal, state and local governments without recourse to NASS is unconstitutional, illegal, unlawful and null and void as well as a declaration that all allocation, distribution and disbursement of public revenue from DPA made by the defendants to the federal, states and local governments as grants in aids without recourse to NASS is unconstitutional, illegal, unlawful and null and void.

Other reliefs sought are as follows: “An order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from further allocation, distribution or disbursement of public revenue from the Distributable Pool Account to the federal, states and local governments without the prescription of the National Assembly.

“An order of mandatory injunction compelling the defendants to abide by sections 162, 163, 164 and 168 of the 1999 Constitution as amended; at all material time of allocation, distribution and disbursement of public revenue from distributable account. And such further or other orders the court may deem fit to make in the circumstances of this case.”

The defendants were mandated to, within 30 days of the service of the summons on them, including the date of service, July 15, 2015; enter appearance to the summons.



So will the hypocrites now shut up[/size]

funkyibodude:
lol smart indeed, but he ended up the biggest loser. Ekwunife defeated him in senatorial elections

funkyibodude:
that man is a joke, he single handedly destroyed APGA with his greed and selfishness,

funkyibodude:
But when PDP was in power APGA was always adopting PDP presidential candidate as their own, what bunch of Chameleons

ENUGU—Former National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Chief Victor Umeh, has said that the former ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had no moral ground to cry over any form of injustice.
Victor Umeh

Victor Umeh

He said on the contrary, the PDP, should bury its head in shame.

Addressing journalists in Enugu, Umeh said, “What PDP did to Nigeria in 16 years it was in power is the greatest disservice to democracy.”

It will be re-called that the Appeal Court had on Monday nullified Senator Uche Ekwunife’s election on account of Umeh’s petition. The court ordered a re-run within 90 days.

The APGA chieftain maintained that even though he allegedly won the election, the PDP manipulated the process with impunity and allegedly used the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to declare Ekwunife the winner.

While mocking PDP over its complaints on the outcome of the Kogi and Bayelsa state governorship polls, Umeh said “even though the All Progressives Congress, APC, has not been brutal as they were, the PDP members are now weeping.

“PDP promoted electoral banditry, so, I am surprised that they are now crying wolf. They are made up of hypocrites. The PDP’s time has just ended, it should be dismantled.”
