ALLEGATION OF 3 TRILLION BUDGET PADDING: RESCUE MOVEMENT SAYS IT'S TERRIBLE, CALLS FOR DETAIL PROBE INSTEAD OF SUSPENDING NINGI!

The Rescue Movement For New Nigeria aka Rescue The Vulnerable Initiative has described as terrible, the allegation by Senator Abdul Ningi that about N3 trillion was padded into the 2024 Appropriation Bill. The group insists that there should be detail probe to unravel the truth and bring to book anyone found culpable instead of rushing to suspend Senator Ningi that raised the issue publicly.

This was disclosed in a statement made available to pressmen in Kaduna by the group's National Director, Media and Publicity, Rev Emmanuel Olorunmagba, as the group laments the situation where "at this time that our nation is passing through terrible economic downturn, when we are supposed to be hearing of drastic cut down in the cost of governance that have been highly extravagance, and what is saved from such cut down focused on fighting hunger; but unfortunately we are hearing of budget padding to the tune of whooping three trillion naira (N3 trillion) and again that some Lawmakers were allocated whooping five hundred million naira (N500 million). Instead of such weighty allegation to be thoroughly investigated, the Senate rushed to suspend Senator Ningi. Thus, many Nigerians are now seeing the speedy suspension as intimidation to suppress the weighty allegation".

Senator Ningi was so categorical in his statement as he declared that, '... in the course of our perusing the budget, which Onanuga seems to have dwelt on, I said we have established beyond reasonable doubt, about N25 trillion so far has nexus: that means, there is money, and then there is project and then there is location. Money, project, location! But we are yet to ascertain N3 trillions of that budget. We have established the N3 trillions in that budget, but have not establish the project and its location. I am not afraid of anything... anything... I believe there is one God and I believe power is transient. I am not scared of any issue like suspension...'

This allegation is not only very empathetic, but it is so specific and categorical. Thus, "sweeping such under carpet while hunger is ravaging the ordinary Nigerians is the height of insensitivity".

Nigerians deserve to know the truth and appropriate actions should be taken to adequately address the issue except the power that be want to deliberately taken the masses for fools."

The group also noted the alarming rate of escalations of insecurity in the northern part of Nigeria resulting in mass abduction in Borno, Niger, Plateau and kidnapping of pupils and staff from schools in the southern part of Kaduna State. 

Calling on the governors especially in northern states of Nigeria to be more proactive and beef up security the more in their states, using the huge security votes they are allocated effectively and corporate towards interstate security network. The situation is getting too much and we cannot continue have a nation where bandit are more powerful than the State", he concluded.

BELLO EL-RUFAI THE BESPECTACLED PYGMY . By Comrade Musa Mohammed (Moonlight) It is disheartening, Bello El-Rufai, as a federal lawmaker, entrusted with representing the people, for resorting such behaviour, attempting to obstruct the lawful functions of the kaduna State House of Assembly. Your attempts Bello, intimidation, threats or your erratic and unruly actions will not stop the kaduna legislatives  to investigate financial dealings, loans, grants, and projects implementation from 2015-2023 in Kaduna State,  Bello El-Rufai, you should go ahead with your threat. A word is enough for you, your father, and family all, if you are wise. It is very unfortunate that your biological father, Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai is the worse thing that ever happened to Kaduna State. The man that plunged the state in deep fire but God pass the idiot.  Our greatest pain is that there were few people that never saw anything bad about all the nefarious activities of that satanic agent ...

Chaos in the Mines: Exposing the Irregularities at Nigeria's Mining Cadastre Office …The Chinese Connection: Unraveling Foreign Influence in Nigeria's Mining Sector By Steven Kefas (Kaduna, Nigeria), In the heart of Nigeria's capital, Abuja, stands an unassuming building that houses the Mining Cadastre Office (MCO), an agency under the Ministry of Solid Mineral Development. This office, tasked with issuing mining Titles and regulating mining activities across the nation, has recently become the center of controversy, threatening to undermine Nigeria's efforts to diversify its economy away from crude oil.
