Budget of Corruption!

With respect to the government of Mohamadu Buhari, it appears the time has finally come for Nigerians to end the prolonged honeymoon and draw a line in the sand. There can be no better call to arms or rallying issue than the nauseating and shameful ongoing revelations of padding, fraud and deliberate misallocation of scarce resources in the 2016 federal budget. That a country as blessed as Nigeria will present a budget with dodgy and shoddy figures as are being revealed calls into question the competence of the people President Buhari is relying upon to handle the finances of his government. Nigeria parades a citizenry made up of professionals trained in some of the best academic institutions in the world and have been in charge of multi-billion dollar budgets in different capacities around the world. What Nigerians must bear in mind is that the 2016 budget is only $30Billion with the official rate and $20Billion with the black market rate. President Buhari must himself explain to Nigerians why after taking almost five months to appoint his ministers with the excuse that he was searching for the best hands, this disjointed, incoherent, elementary and pedestrian document called the 2016 federal budget is the best they can produce. In the absence of a cogent explanation from each and every minister and senior official associated with this budget, the president should ask for their resignation or fire them with immediate effect. Those guilty of willful conduct should be arrested immediately and prosecuted. Culled from Sahara Reporters
