"Is Budget Paddling an Offence" Dogara

House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, has stated that budget padding is not an offence.

Dogara, said this yesterday after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa
State House Correspondents accosted him and a chat ensued:


What informed your visit?

Dogara: Can’t I come and see my President? Do I need any reason to come and see my President? It’s a private visit.

Was the issue of alleged budget padding discussed?

Dogara: What is budget padding?


The language emanated from your chambers

Dogara: I don’t know, educate me. I am a lawyer and speaker and I have never heard of the word padding. What does padding mean?

The former chairman of the Appropriation Committee said you padded the budget

Dogara: Ask him. He who alleges must prove. That’s the law in Nigeria

Are you not going to defend yourself?

Dogara: Am I before a court?

There are people saying you should reconvene the House before the September resumption time and step aside for a thorough investigation

Dogara: We have rules and regulations. This is not a mock institution, we operate by the rules and we will follow the rules.

Will you resign?

Dogara: Resign for what?

These allegations.

Dogara: What are the allegations?

That you and some members of the leadership padded the budget.

Dogara: What is padding? You haven’t told me. Ask Jibrin what is padding. I studied law and I have been in the legislature and all this period I have never heard of the word padding being an offence under any law. If I don’t know, you are the media, research the law and let me know.

Are you worried?

Dogara: Worried for what? Worried over nothing, why should I be worried? As far as I am concerned I’m not worried about anything.

Will there be sanctions for Jibrin?

United States Of Nigeria Flag On Social Medias Causes Outrage - See Tweets

Does it really mean we deliberately elect of appoint people is positions in this country without giving a poo about their academic excellence? A video clip surfaced showing the Youth and Sports Development Minister, Barrister Solomon Dalung referring to the United States of America as ‘United States of Nigeria’.

Yes he is a barrister by my friends, it all seems he purchased that certificate in the market. Just like the 2013 ‘Oga at the top’ video, this video trended on social media, as Nigerians criticized the minister for his error. They did not waste time combining the video with different memes. Unable to stand the heat and criticisms on social media, Dalung went private on Twitter, shutting people off his mentions.

Sports Minister Veteran Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw has joined the list of those who are surprised that a minister, who President Muhammadu Buhari took six months to appoint, could make such national blunder.
