2016 Nigeria's Budget Scandal: President Buhari Must Do The Needful by Opinedecandid(m): 7:29am On Jan 15, 2016
Call it Missing Budget.
Call it Doctored Budget.
Call it Budget Substitution.
Call it Two Different Versions of Budget.

Call it whatever!

Truth is, the scenario smacks of insincerity, dishonesty, deceit, double-standard, to say the least, crass incompetence, unprofessionalism, inexperience or incapacitation, or outright ignorance and illiteracy.

Whatever be the case, we have been plunged into National Embarrassment, such that is very new to our clime.

I would not jump to conclusions on this, but if one is to enlist this development amongst acts of corruption, I would dare say, this particular act of corruption is newly introduced to our nation.

Granted the foregoing, the sanest thing President Buhari should do now is to humbly RESIGN.

If he kisses the dust and resigns now, this will lend credence to the singular most cogent policy thrust of the APC led administration: Anti-corruption fight.
But failure to throw in the towel at this point, will tantamount to entrenchment of corruption.

Let Mr. President Resign!

Follow Nigerians, what do you think?

We should commend d president 4 listening to us on nairaland and Nigeria masses in general for reducing aso rock feeding from 500million naira in d first version to 100Million naira in the new version.

This is better than in d past were president defend 1billion naira for Aso rock feeding

We should commend d president for reducing Car in presidency from 3.4billion in d first version to 340million in the new one. That is 90% drop.

I agree he was not well advised on how to go about it, but it was done with d interest of d masses. But we should focus on end point of the action and not on frivolities PDP are feeding d masses with.

We should understand that Buhari was not under any compulsion to reduce some of those extravagance. He could have ignored d criticism of d masses and leave the waste in d budget. But he listen to us and amended it.

Why is it not an issue in the House of Representative? The Budget was not only given to Senate. The budget was presented to Joint National Assembly. Not to senate alone. House of rep has no issue with d amendment. But criminal Saraki in d senate is trying to over blow it to protect himself from code of conduct tribunal because the supreme court decision is close by on the 5th of February. He is wasting his time. If Saraki thinks he can connive with PDP to blackmail the president into killing the anti-corruption drive of the president, he is making a big mistake .

The Budget has not be signed into law. It has not be approve. So it can be changed or ammended. The president saw an error and chose to correct. He may have been advised wrongly on how to do it, but the overall intention is noble. Nigerians should learn to praise noble things rather than destroying it with useless technicalities and partisanship.


PDP should not be taken seriously because they dont care a bit about Nigeria masses.
They only care about protecting thier criminal members and looters.

Next time the president must ensure he prove read every document before making it public to avoid this kind of embarrassment in the future.

As far as i am concern, this whole noise on d budget is due to the fact that the President and Saraki are not in good terms. So senate President is making unneccessary noise about it.

There is no illegality in what d presidency did. No law was broken. He may have missed some protocol in doing it, no single law was broken.

As a member of Nigeria masses, I know when things is done for the interest of d masses. This case is clearly in d interest of d masses. I will rather focus on d nobility of the intention and action of the president, than focus on the technicality which is being overblown out of proportion in d senate by the senate president to protect himself from prosecution.

I have seen both version. They are almost 99% the same. The majoy difference is the reduction in Extravagance in the presidency in the new one.


THE BUDGET WAS SUBMITTED TO BOTH SENATE AND HOUSE OF REP. HOUSE OF REP SPEAKER SAID NOTHING IS MISSING WHY IS SENATE PRESIDENT MAKING ALL THE NOISE.

dude you don't like Buhari, fine. I don't like GE but if you want to criticize do it reasonably instead of making your hatred obvious, and allowing yourself to be used by selfish Saraki.
