I can see a host of brainless wailers rejoicing that Buhari is clueless because they hear he reviewed the budget downwards, how lame!

Just for the information of the wailers, this ability to spot extravagance and reverse it, this ability to listen to 'reasonable' criticism and do something about it, this is the exact reason why most of the Buharists like myself support the man.

From the first day I set my eyes on the budget, I asked a simple question, "Buhari and Osinbajo, are they aware of these figures?" I also said it clearly that these crazy figures must be reviewed downwards, if not now, then later. I thank God we now have a Buhari and not the old order. I can bet my life that if it was the old order, the criticism of the budget would have been dismissed and labelled by Jonathanians as an 'attack on GEJ.'

Nice one jawe boss.. You are a man of wisdom

PROVACATEUR:
All these things can't stop me from calling him clueless

Please youself my dear. If that's what gives you peace, why should any human try to stop you?

wachakuta:
That is a leader that Listens to his people

Especially when such leader is totally confused and frustrated

The Wailers and the Zombies ! Gosh! They really hate each other's guts

Following the outrage which had trailed the
billions of Naira allocated to the Presidency in the 2016 Budget,President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly ordered for a downward review of the budget.
DAILY POST gathered on Tuesday that the
president was angered at the bashing he was receiving over the billions allocated to his office, that of his vice, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, as well as Aso Rock as a whole.
Details provided by Nigeria’s budget office shows that the presidency got N19billion.
DAILY POST had published the breakdown of
2016 budget
about a week ago. http://dailypost.ng/

Further details on the presidential budget are as
follows:
State House headquarters – N12billion;
President’s
operations – N1.9billion; Vice President’s
operations –
N322million; Chief of Staff – N2.3million; Chief
Security
Officer – N3.2million; Lagos liaison office –
N127million;
State House medical centre – N3.9billion;
Feeding
N445million.
Most of the figures are higher to allocations
budgeted for same departments in recent years under President Goodluck Jonathan.
Our correspondent gathered that despite
denials by presidential aides, Buhari has ordered that the allocation to the presidency be reduced.
Reacting, Buhari’s His Special Assistant on
Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu had on Monday
admitted that some figures in the budget were new.
“Some of these figures being quoted are strange to us.” Shehu stated.
According to him, the Ministry of Budget and
Planning have been instructed to look through the figures. Shehu advised the media to exercise patience until the federal legislature gets the details of the budget.
“When the National Assembly returns from
recess, the lawmakers will be given the full estimates of the budget, including what is voted for each department, ministries and
agencies. What is voted for the State House will
also be included,” Shehu said.
A government official however confided in
DAILY POST that
the Budget Ministry had received presidential
directive to slash the N19billion budget.
“The president became alarmed when his
attention wto called to the fact that the figures were higher to that of his predecessor, whom he criticised. He also demanded explanation on some of the allocations in view of the economic crisis.
“Expect a reduced figure. I can’t speculate by
how much, but things not really necessary will either be slashed or outrightly expunged,” he told our correspondent at an event in Lagos on Tuesday.
Buhari had on December 22, 2015 presented a
Budget estimate of N6.08 trillion to a joint sitting of the National Assembly.
Some parts of the budget have attracted
criticisms from many Nigerians, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and even members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

We need to continue demanding accountability from this government and any future government. It is commendable that the administration, atleast, gives a damn about MAJORITY public opinion.

Sai baba! a listening presido,we nver had d otuokean ordering his huge budget to b reduce.

PMB should.be more careful in the future. Funny enough, it's good things like this are happening. It's making PMB wiser to the antics of sycophants in his cabinet. What he does about the situation will be a huge factor in how posterity will judge his governance.

sammyj:
SAI BABA our listening president compared to the clueless corrupt former president! !!

Na shame dey worry una

GBM, this is an embarrassment on the seat, value, premium and worth attached world over to the President as commander in chief- A whole lot of Misappropriation, deliberate falsification and carelessness on the hands of those we've entrusted our common wealth- Again it, really shameful. How would the foreign media title this misnomer and abnormal cerebral malfunctioning by Buhari? Shame! We've been scam yet free speech and accountability want to be canned through dictatorial innuendo, oh e do.

Good sign - effective communication between government and the people...

How come there was no outrage or protest(s) while this was going on during the grossly wasteful GEJ aministration? Or were there but.... We ae making progress!

Rose2014:
Ngeneukwenu won't like this

This is the height of incompetence. Imagine this.


Shame on sycophants. While they're on one end defending the budget, Buhari has withdrawn it from the other end. Their oga didn't even read the details of the budget before presenting to NASS yet his robots were busy cheering him and opening threads to educate us how the budget is great for Nigeria

Sycophants will ruin this administration faster than the opposition

One can easily find a reason to support anything he likes and disparage what he dislikes.

PDP are not helping matters toocos they're too unintelligent to pose a formidable opposition.

Validated:
Incompetence is going to announce a budget you know nothing about!
Buhari sef

Is this the Change

have you ever seen Nigeria's budget? na telephone book o. how many presido wan read. it's up to us to alert him and he is taking action. do not expect a general to micro manage

I sure say you de read your wife shopping list

cizy:
These senseless, idiotic sycophantic and animalistic hypocrites applauded the old, senseless and brain dead, dullardo (that can't read, write or even understand simple numbers that primary school pupils play with) when he released that useless budget. We criticized the useless budget while they applauded it and called us wailers. Now the brain dead mofo withdraws and reviews the budget only for the pîg-headed sycophants to come out now and say that he's a listening president.

Listening president my black arse!

this tin pain you gan. sai baba till 2019

@Bigmarx, I take no offense in all what you said.Your tone was cautiously chastising, however,there is a mix up which needs a little balance of clarity.
The budget was a victim of timing.The president ought to have presented the budget 1& half months before the end of the current fiscal year.Hence, the budget clearly run against time given the delay in the appointment of ministers.This is a clear pointer to the fact that the budget was not the brain child of Udo Emmanuel.He was appointed 6wks before the presentation as against a normal period of 4to5 months.In view of this,the template of the past administration had to be employed unfortunately.It is also instructive to know that overheads are different from personal costs(pc) in the manner of review.MDAs are prunned hence a corresponding reduction in overheads.meanwhile, personal cost is subject to an adjustment from the personel & by extension the budget office.The president/vp's pc are the bone of contention which PMB is calling for adjustment. Truth!

There is no pleasing some people. Whatever Buhari does will never be right in their eyes. If he didnt reduce it, u will call him a dictator and if he does, u still come here to nag and wail! Smh

8unit:

No it was his cluelessness and incompetence

Be like wailers union are the watch guards of our democracy now.

APC lies are being exposed everyday. So bubu wan feed withbillions of naira, when GEJ did same we no hear word. All of them na de same.

Meanwhile, wailers don win this round

Some people on this trend are sycophants, when Jonathan budgeted 1B annually for only food, they never complain. Sycophancy will kill some people and will never allow them to fulfill their dreams. Many sane Nigerians complained and complained but he never reversed it. I am still surprise what kind of food will take 1B for a year why ordinary Nigerians cannot eat successfully a square meal but are here abusing the PMB, a man that took pain to listen to divergent view and make correction when the need be. No single time Jonathan listen to the cry of Nigerians on key issues. Many were killed during subsidy protest but he never listened to anyone but himself.
Many people cried but the prosecution of some of his ministers but he shielded them and even came to live broadcast, that House of Reps were intimidating his ministers. A President asked to protect the integrity of the nation, was exposing it. Wailers should allow voice of reasoning to consume them rather than playing second fiddle. Nigeria must and shall move forward with this listen President.

8unit:


yea they have to. Jonathan started it and it was used against him. That freedom made him lose the election

It was the same freedom of speech that made him and his party slandered APC and Buhari using AIT and NTA. But PDP and APC benefited from the law and PDP benefited the more because they were controlling the national media that local people watch.

Buhari de listener.......change change change
