Reps angry as Dogara, Jibrin, others inject N40b projects into budget The impasse over the 2016 Budget assumed a rowdy dimension in the House of Representatives with members demanding the resignation of the Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin. They were furious that Jibrin influenced the allocation of projects worth N4.169billion to his constituency outside what was budgeted by the Executive. Also, members opposed allocation of N40billion( at N20b apiece) to those in the leadership of both the Senate and the House. They specifically faulted the concession of projects of over N3billion to the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara out of the N20billion for the House leadership. Amidst shouting match, the lawmakers said the House should do away with past practices of personalising budget. It was gathered that sensing likely protest at the plenary over the budget, the Speaker and his principal officers opted for an Executive session. The Executive session began at about 11.30am on a sombre note with the Speaker offering some rapprochement in order to calm down frayed nerves. A source at the session said: “After initial courtesies, the Speaker hit the point by claiming that everything being said about the budget remains hearsay because the Executive has not returned the Appropriation Bill. “He quickly added a caveat by urging members to avoid anything which could affect the unity of the House.” Lending weight to the Speaker’s plea, Hon. Monguno (Borno) urged members to “wait for reactions until the budget is returned.” It was gathered that Dogara’s plea fell on deaf ears as members raised issues on the controversy surrounding the budget. Some of those who spoke at the session on the budget included Nnana(Imo); Aliyu Sani Madaki ( Kano); Prof. Mojeed Alabi(Osun); Douye Diri (Bayelsa) and Comrade Phillip Shuaibu( Edo). Jibrin, who rose to defend the budget details, met more than he bargained for. A ranking Representative said: “Most members were not persuaded by attempts by Jibrin to incite them against the Executive. They rose up and started shouting at Jibrin for not doing a diligent job. “Some asked him whether it was the Executive that asked him to allocate huge projects to his constituency when there was no provision for these in the proposals of the Executive. “Many were yelling and demanding Jibrin’s immediate resignation for the ineffective manner the Appropriation Committee handled the budget. “Even when the Speaker called for calm, they shouted that they “cannot defend the indefensible in the press because Nigerians are angry against the National Assembly for playing politics with the budget.” A lawmaker from the South-West said: “At the Executive session, members asked the leadership about the N40billion projects allocated to the principal officers of the Senate and the House. Each of the leadership of the two chambers will share N20billion projects. “Members queried why N3billion projects have been allocated to the Speaker and why Jibrin favoured his constituency with N4.169billion projects.” “The leadership said the N20b projects were captured under zonal intervention as it had been since 1999 but members said if others were doing it in the past, it should not be now.” Some of the projects allocated to Jibrin’s Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency are: N100m for Town Hall Construction of roads in Kiru/Bebeji—N150m Solar street lights—N300m Badaf Road Construction—N405m Pedestrian Bridges —N200m Bebeji Earth Dam—N270m Empowerment items—N100m Entrepreneurship Development Training and Vocational Centre —N100m Rehabilitation of Gwarzo Kiru, Kwanar Maiyaki– N180m Rehabilitation of Sharada-Kwanar Dogara—N1.445bi llion Construction of solar powered boreholes–N150m Supply of tricycles, grinding machines and set of women salon empowerment kits—N200m Small irrigation scheme ins in Kiru—N100m Findings revealed that at the end of the day, Speaker Dogara managed to douse the tension by begging members to sheathe their swords. |
dukie25:. You be mumu oooom...if you list how many countries fayose can travel to, it cant be more than 10, the guy na thief naa |
Some people nor even understand the issue on the said budget, dem go just come nairaland come talk nonsense....imagine a statement credited to maupe...the only person i remember bear that name is the lady that works with channels tv and the lady get sense....atleast you should be able to see read the allegations levelled against the lawmakers on the diversion of various funds meant for a particular project to their constituencies... |
Vanquay: Vanquay: Vanquay:. Bros take am easy, why u no leave we wey dey stay for nigeria handle this issue, abi na so legislators dey behave for where u dey Let us handle it our own way |
"Not until a crab enters a soup pot, it never believes that there are two kinds of water on earth....just leave oga fayose alone, i understand his game....it will soon be over for him |
Tosinayoko:. To the best of my understanding, you would get the mail but probably in the course of screening and reaching out to the shortlisted applicants.....one might be screened out....IMO...good luck |
higherpower:. Oh boy! You get mouth ooo....factory fitted?? Cant laf enof |
higherpower:. Oh boy! You get mouth ooo....factory fitted?? |
onatisi:. Forget that, i laugh at times when people who reside outside ekiti comment, fayose is a serial liar, he did the same thing with the then speaker and deputy of last ekiti assembly, he would invite them to a stage managed peace meeting at the end of the day he would mess you up, the guy said senior party leader invited him and all of a sudden fayose surfaced, he made attempt to leave but too late cos fayose has other plans...lets just watch as its unfolds...fayose is a criminal |
They are probably acting film now.....@egbegbe, seems this is the first time taking a role in a movie......ACTION!!! |
All these rich men of God shaaa...judgment dey God hand oooo |

I doubt 1m dollars was given to them.....haaahaaa if dem don give them the money, this mano no go shout at alll.....because 200 000 be im salary every month |
Image123:. Who would admit giving out that huge amount of money for an election ![]() ? Remember in the interview, when uba admitted fayose and his wife visited him in abuja, aluko tried to say exactly what the wife said (fayose wife) when she entered in the mansion....and uba couldnt deny that...aluko said nothing but the truth, though he may saying because of fayose betrayal...but he said was true...i saw this coming few months ago....it was true chris uba was in ekiti as revealed by aluko...yes...personally i know who brought chris to ekiti....aluko coudnt be telling lies.... |
Its quite unfortunate that most people who post on this particular issue dont even know what transpired between both fayose and Aluko, the reason is best known to them...fayose is a serial liar and betrayer.....what is important now is the revelation and not on whether somebody betray or not....the said election result was beyond my imagination...up till this moment i cant still believe how worked out....that a siting governor could not even win his ward....may be many of you didnt remember so many things happened even before election...fayose sometimes said the exact figure of votes that was going to be allocated to him...and it happened exactly the was he said it...i was in the state throughout the election....on aluko, he has had enof of fayose antics and unwarranted assault...same fayose dated aluko's wife, same fayose denied the ticket to reps twice, same fayose removed him from pdp secretary and even went after his life...because he was sometimes shot and hospitalised and all in the name of politics....for him to set himself free from fayose bondage is now a sin....all i can tell you is that alot are happening in that state that did not even get to the press...so all i want is the appropriate authority should look into this weighty allegation or revelation to let us get to the root of the whole season film...thank you |
