The Vice Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in the 2019 elections, Peter Obi has come out to criticize the 2020 Budget presented by the Buhari-led executive to the National Assembly, says it is 'low and empty'

Peter Obi said this during an interview with Arise News morning show, where he explained that the proposed budget won’t enhance production and growth of the micro, small and medium scale industries.

He said: “We have not looked at the quantum of the budget compared to the size of the country. I have made a study of the budget of about 24 countries and I have followed it religiously and I can give you an example of what is happening.

Let us use examples of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, China and South Africa) nations and the MINT economies (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey.) Of all these countries, there is none whose budget is less than 15 percent of its GDP except Nigeria. Brazil has a population of 210 million people, with a GDP of three billion, their budget is 803 trillion dollars.

Nigeria has a population of 200 million people and a GDP of $400 billion and the budget for 2018 was $22 billion. If you look at all these countries and share their budget with their population, you will see that Nigeria is the...CONTINUE HERE

Peter Obi and his China conclusion.......... Every time!
Anyway.... He is still relevant unlike the other guy still cumming........

this man is making sense if u look at his points with humility. I wish he is our president...

he was always a better choice for this country.

Not the same Kingsley Moghalu. I would prefer people like Moghalu to obi as President. A sound economist

What did your otueke Master did with the trillions he Budget during his time. all the roads in South East were in bad condition.

Yes as leaders of economic institutions Moghalu will beat Peter Obi handsdown. However if it has to do with politics and governance and application of African model and street intelligence Peter Obi is the man. Peter Obi has done it in Anambra. If given the chance to control things from Abuja, Peter Obi will unlock enormous money from government wastages alone.

You are still believing Falana that Moghalu has taken appointment with federal government even when he has declared it as fake news and threatened to sue the fake human rights lawyer?

Ezewuzie01:
Peter Obi is a fake man. Vomiting falsehood like someone desperate for relevance. Go to Agulu his hometown, it doesn't look like a place that produced governor. Always trying to get noticed.

You see our problem, you claim he should have concentrated on his home town when he was Governor of a whole state, the same state he saved billions of Naira above its annual allocation while still executing more projects than any governor the state ever produced.

Raising revenue is very simple. The only way to increase revenue is to create more employment. The more people are employed, the more revenue you get. If you pull 40 million people out of poverty, you can increase revenue through the tax they pay. But you are not creating jobs and you are now over-taxing the few who are struggling to make ends meet. Are you going to tax jobless people? Or will you tax those whose businesses are already closing?

Peter should vie for Presidency, the Nigerian Oligarchs may be against him because he does not do power play or paddy paddy government, but the Nigerian people may just accept him.

Falana is not a fake man. m not aware of the fake news stuff.

Simple Economics.

What do you have against him?

He has shown you his template - No corruption
He has shown what he has done - Anambra state
He has shown you and practised his modest lifestyle.. - Extreme humility
He has shown you his business and they have all flourished through his management style..

Are you addicted to stagnation ?

Lol.. Didnt he already vie for VP?

He didnt do anything in Anambra. He didnt conduct LG elections for 8 years. He's no different from your average politician. We need intellectuals not sweet talking politicians..

globemoney:

Yes he did, majority had problem with his principal, not a single allegation was pinned on him...

In fact, while they campaigned and flew Private jets, he met them up flying economy with regular citizens.

If he could not go against his principles at that level, he might just be the man Nigeria needs.

But in all you cancelled.. you could still not mention any. The records are there in Anambra to peruse, in Fidelity bank to peruse, in Next Ltd to go through as well as Hero beer and SEC commission.

It's an open secret, he hides nothing.

Now that you are aware.

You should know by now that Obi is one of the major reasons atiku lost. From SE govs not supporting him to bigotry allegations against him which made him not to join campaigns in the north.
So you expect Atiku who has many private jets, a former VP to be jumping economy to prove he is a saint? Everyone is not fake like Obi please

Because you fell to his trick doesn't mean i will be brainwashed like you. Self acclaimed personality .
