In the wake of the scandals surrounding the 2024 Tinubu’s budget of Renewed Hope, so many indiscrepancies are being noticed by Nigerians upon more query.
You’d recall that Senator Abdul Ningi had alleged that the budget was bloated and padded in the tune of N3 trillion naira.
Nigerians dig further to find out that N212 billion to install 1,150 streetlights.
That means each streetlight costs N184 million?
Many people hear about paddling but don’t actually know what it means:Paddling budget means tampering with the budget presented by the President or the MDA’s by either adding figures to the costs of projects or by inserting projects that were not in the original budget presented.For example,a Minister can say he wants to buy 5 Buckets for his ministry at 5k each;magically,he will see 8 Buckets approved for him or 5 Buckets approved at the rate of 10k each or he will see Shovels and diggers added to his request for Buckets.

Each Senator gets N200m as constituency project allowance, so called Leadership gets more
Yet there is not a single Senatorial constituency in all of Nigeria that has clean drinking water running from it taps 24/7
Yet, the Senate told Nigerians it could not cut a Kobo to sacrifice as normal Nigerian households are sacrificing
Nigeria truly has a spending problem not a revenue problem – Senator Ali Ndume
You see eh, a corrupt head would always beget a corrupt body…
These are the reasons they would kill to become the so called law makers…
Just imagine…. This has been happening for decades but it has to stop…. These evil men have taken more than enough….
No wonder they suspended Senator Ningi immediately…. To make way for a unitary embezzlement….. Just get a true President and all these rubbish would fizzle out.
