Illiterate of a president. Buhari has been a fool, thief, idiot, pig, cow, nuisance, terrorist, killer, skeleton, empty skull before the creation of Nigeria. Even if u are fighting a war, will u spend such money? Bastard, lunatic, brainless fulani cow, chairman of herdsmen.

I'm Sure If You Tried To Put Your Dad's Name Where "Buhari" Is In Your Write Up, You Wouldn't Have Typed This Poo

What will he be doing with so much money.
Does it mean that the POLICE, NSCDC, DSS and other security agencies have not been receiving funds all this while?
This country is corrupt

This report is bullsh3t. I read the news on BBC and the actual amount for the election is one hundred and sixty something billions, with additional 64 billions for reinstatement of the projects removed by the National Assembly from the 2018 budget.

It makes you wonder where we are headed as a nation if our own media cannot report our news efficiently.


one hundred and something billion is still too much for election, haba

DO THE YOUNG IGNORAMUSES UNDERSTAND THIS BUDGET

This is a virement financed supplementary budget. They are going to take money from not important projects to finance this expenditure. The budget has not changed.

Nigeria's youth is completely gone. No more brains. Anyway when PDP has raped your country for 16 years and your heroes are Fayose, GEJ and Saraki,maybe you are entitled to ignorance. The 2014 elections cost about N120bn so whats the problem with a supplementary budget asking for mo ey transfer from other areas within existing budget for elections and security?

Mr Wisdom is the money for the original budget plucked from air? 120billion or 244 billion is still too much for a government that has made its mantra anti-corruption


This is more money to fund future corruption in government!

It appears you are mixing up anti corruption and not spending money. They are not the same. There is just a slight increase in the budget over the last elections. The other monies are for security agencies to tackle ongoing challenges.
More importantly it is virement. They are moving money around in the same budget. The Senators have to sacrifice their fake / bloated constituency projects for security and elections. Pure and simple
