Gbawe:

Kindly go to the minister of finance and tell her to release my money

plaindealer:



The man said statutory allocation. ...just assuming you know how to read and comprehend..

Gbawe:

By going to Aso Rock to grovel and swear loyalty to "GEJ 2015"?

Alxmyr: I see some stark misinformation in Oshiomole's word. Maybe he was misquoted.

First, the National Assembly does not appropriate for states. And so Edo state cannot claim that monies passed by National Assembly for his state is held back by the FG.

Second, Oshiomole should have given more detail about what actually transpired and which fund was the FG withholding. I understand that many state cannot access UBEC fund, because the acts establishing UBEC required that states should give account of usage of previous funds released to them and as well as contribute their own quota to the fund. Most state have not done that.

Third, the FG has shown its reluctance to encourage state to continue borrowing domestically which often come at higher interest rates.

Lastly, statutory allocation is not appropriated by National Assembly, and most often if a state is owing some debt, such debt is often remove at source. Many state governors don't like that.

My point is that what Oshiomole churned out to the public is half information which basically was one-sided. He should have been more detail so as we know whose fault it is.

This is till your opinion and it doesn't matter how you spin what the man said, fact remains that the man said statutory allocation.

And you are wrong, the NAS legislate allocations and the president signs whatever they allocated to every federal branch. The NAS distributes and allocate our national resources. They allocate funds to the states, the presidency and all the way down to the ministries and the local governments as part of it's budgetary oversight duties and the president sings their legislated allocations and I'm 100% sure this is what the governor was talking about.

I think you are confusing constitutionality with formality.

taharqa2: Lord have Mercy!!!.... Just imagine what a Grown up is saying in d Politics section of a PUBLIC forum!! Such IGNORANCE spoken confidently. And you are arguing with smone else.. God forbid bad thing

talk2s: The things some of us say here leave me marveled, and I may be forced to distract this thread and topic by calling on the relevant authorities to completely overhaul our education system, or better still, compel some of the so-called graduates to take up certain elementary education.
If only you understand the different responsibilities of the THREE ARMS OF GOVERNMENT, you will know that the Executive does not implement/Execute any Law not approved by the Legislature!
If only you can also come into terms with the fact that Budgets/Appropriations are passed by the Legislature in what is called ' Appropriation Bill', some of you will slow down.
Fact is, the Executive does not spend any money not approved by the Legislature.
Incase you need further tutorials on who is the Executive and who is the Legislature in ths twist, you can meet Suen, he knows how to contact me.
As for the matter on ground, I'm not aligning with Adams, AT ALL. Let him consult that third Arm of Government (they don't consider important), to seek redress!

Project2015: My money, my allocation, my, my, my.

homesteady: " I have to
perfect my own credibility as a governor
to deliver my responsibility to
contractors"

Adams!! Its no longer news that you don't pay your contractors!! That's why there a lot of unfinished projects in edo state!! And it did not start this year!! So stop trying to divert the whole blame to the FG
You used Edo state money for your election campaign!! You recked the state account!! That's why you haven't done any reasonable thing in your second tenure!!
Then after the election!! You thought of how to raise money for the state and you came up with LAND TAX!! Unluckily, the wise people of Edo state rejected it!!

Maxymilliano:

The government of GEJ is a responsible one Mr Adams
