Is this not the same narrative that made us call GEJ clueless? Nothing had changed folks
God is watching everything you are doing
What's special about this report..
Quite pathetic! If an average Nigeria 🇳🇬 is regarded poor due to their economy status
Una go tweet kill unaself tire for Nigeria. Country don expire!!! Keep believing in the Zoo 🐘🐼🐯 called Nigeria.
When a president can easily be 'forced' to divert money meant for the 'poor' into the 'rich' pocket, then he's worst than a failure, a weakling and has betrayed d confidence and trust d 'poor' hv in him to protect and provide for them. That president is not fit to be a president.
😂..... You guys are funny... Forced him at Gun point I guess
Premium Times is fast becoming another Sahara Reporters with a different name.
D Presidency is just bitter that the National Assembly didn't let them chop d money alone and they are now using 'FORCED and POOR' to decieve themselves. Mtcheeeeeeewww!!!
Like I always say, support Buhari if you will, but at least admit the truth, that he has done everything many of us wanted Jonathan out for. And then some. Shame.
Please i didn't read that 'FORCED' part well....did they tie rope to his neck like one of his cows?
I saw the movie. A gun was placed on his head to divert the money. It was a mad scene.
Seriously? Was he planning to share it to them like trader money? this is irresponsibility
An he forgot his rejection skills that he is well known for? Haba I don't want to believe this oh!
Wow. We need to pray for Buhari so he'll be delivered from oppressors and corrupt politicians which are basically everybody but him 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ahmed54809322 Is there nothing new to say?
So it is now that the National Assembly have power over him? Nigerian jokes are very sweet
This is not News. Continue to waste your time voting instead of boycotting 2019 election and chasing out those wicked and evil politicians in the abomination called Nigeria.
Why is the National Assembly not able to force the President to sign the 2018 Amended Electoral Bill into law? When they fail woefully, they shift blame to others. Yeye dey smell.
Nothing out of the ordinary here..... it's not like the Nigerian government is meant to serve the poor, is it....
So their constituency projects we cannot see is better than provision for the masses...
Bloody civilians 'forcing' a General, so nothing is impossible in dis Nigeria
Depressing Gidi_Traffic
Spontaneously irrelevant
Lies by apc buhari I guess premium times is working for apc cos this doesn't make any sense
SERAPNigeria Leadership demands you to take responsibility. For once, stop being defensive.
efa101 Yes they put a gun to Buhari head
Why is it coming out now? They are all culpable
Beneficiaries of the scheme are supporting PDP. Hence they can't stand for themselves.
In what year has d money ment for the poor duely given to them, all has been accusation and counter accusations. premimiumtimes give a different news. All off them have been stealing our found and we are just helpless.
Hmmm, the comments sounds hmmm
SERAPNigeria This National assembly, the overlooked perpertuators of national poverty and retrogression. we should dedicate some time to critically analyze this nass. thanks to UdemeNG for being in the lead
Story for the gods... Still on BlameGame... Time up fellaz
SERAPNigeria They are only making good their threat. Out of malicious envy, they called the programs; “Vote Buying”, a prelude to what we are now seeing. Nigerians should collectively give them the treatment given the 7th Assembly. None of them should come back until we start getting it right
This distraction will not take our eyes and hearts away from the ignoble information with regards to Gandollar and massacre of our gallant soldiers by the Boko Haram /ISWAP goons.
What I don't understand is this phrase 'poor Nigerians', are you people normal
Interesting the same Buhari that asked National Assembly to slash the funds. Na wa for this executive, always shift blame on NASS.
Wondering why bukolasaraki disinformation machines are quick to jump on this article? is Onile050 babaidris090 wagzie01 trying to change the narrative & exonerate their pay master?are they also complicit? are these tweeter heads part of Nigerias’ problem? Stay tuned.
Irrelevant posting, poor ppl? U can't pay minimum wage to those working and you are talking of poor ppl
Propaganda apc nickname.
This is hoax MBuhari
What are you talking about is rubbish please why always no one is going to be wrong unless our lawmakers
How? PMB is many things but not easily manipulated, he's track record proves it
If this special report had said Buhari diverted the money I think the comments would have been is the best whatever they tell you is the truth but now that is the other way round, Buhari has paid them but I believe we can do better going forward
Not a surprise...that's if this news is genuine
The Executive came up with a counter-proposal that asked that the election be funded through both the Service Wide Vote and the budgets of 30 MDAs —on a pro rata basis
Poor Nigerians does not exist in saraki’s book. He and the rest of his goons at the senate joined politics for themselves, not for any poor Nigerian!
We already know where this is coming from! This is another mad measures that has been put in place by the executive arm in other to dent the image of the legislative. This is a fully sponsored 'Nefarious' report from the executive arm of Nigerian government.
Failed government...... Trying the blame game again!!!
Forced to divert? Who takes the blame? This is a misguided missile 😬 😬 😬
Its election time when brown envelopes fly in into all media houses. Sharing the cake as usual while sharing fake news up and down, driving the country more to the abyss and the poor more to the cemetery . You’ll reap what you sow, sooner than later.
If we accept this FORCED story, let us also accept that Governors like Amaechi forced Jonathan not to save!, especially since Amaechi and co did actually go to court over that!!!
This presidency is such that would always want to draw sympathy to herself. Special intervention fund & other money meant for poor Nigerians, it only in 2018 they remembered it? What happened to other years? The senate is not preventing them, they are the ones holding themselves.
And they call it 'National intrest'
The same platform that posted this, now the same platform that contradicted itself.
, even the presidency cannot deny that it knows nothing about the issue on ground, you had better stop posting nonsense.
, the executive cannot try to claim saint on this because the decision was taken by the NASS based on the request of the executive. Kawai!
, for your information, it was the Buhari that ordered the NASS to take the decision. Stop wailing!
All I know is that National Assembly acted on the directive of Mr. Senate President.
The bill was sponsored by the Executive and forwarded to National Assembly. Buhari wants to absolve himself, the Presidency should release a formal statement denying that they specifically requested the National Assembly to take the funds out of the social intervention funds.
, what makes this a special report when we all know it was the executive arm that requested the National Assembly to take the funds out of the social intervention funds
It isn't far fetched that it was the Buhari administration that call on the National Assembly to slash 30 agencies budget to fund the INEC and Security budget for 2019 elections.
Even when we all knew it was sponsored by the Executive branch
Buhari is now sponsoring propaganda to absolve himself.
MBuhari administration asked us to slash 30 agencies’ budget to fund INEC – NGRSenate
This recent article is built on lies. It’s surprising that just two weeks ago, you guys published this that seems more factual. What changed?
This is how will write articles that are clearly sponsored, yet try to act like they aren’t operating under the same toga of paid news. This report is clearly paid for by Buhari’s team.
I’m trying to reconcile what makes this paid piece a Special Report, and this one underneath a non-Special Report. Buhari has started twisting facts.
If I recall very well, this bill was sponsored by the executive and forwarded to the National Assembly....biko
Who are the poor Nigerians and does the nation have a database for its citizens, which is used to identify the poor. This kind of report doesn't make sense please.
democracy as it is today and the rule of law works for the elites, not for the poor people. Fight4Naija
Your reportage is very silly. Why didn't the executive budget for INEC in the first place. You are paid to cast lawmakers in bad light while exonerating the failure called Buhari.
The 8th Assembly is a self serving one. However, public office holders, should at all times cook the meal like they'd eat from it, so they don't get caught in the Web they spin. No matter how high the wall they mount, the poor, d ones they cheat, will find a way to bring it down.
The media outfit in this country is part of the problem in this country, who are the poor in this country how do identify the poor in Nigeria
Which fools do u intend to deceive with this. So Buhari is benable now.
