President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered complete purge of the Budget
Office due to the discrepancies and padding of the 2016 budget, which
had led to some serious embarrassment.
It was gathered that President handed down the directive to bring in
fresh people who will be trained and told in clear terms the change
policy of his government and will be disciplined if found wanting.
It will be recalled that Buhari had on Monday sacked Yahaya Gusau as the
Director-General of the Budget Office and approved the appointment of
Tijjani Mohammed Abdullahi as his replacement.
A top government official who pleaded anonymity told Punch that the
President was not yet done with the issue. He said Buhari had been
properly briefed of the activities of government officials in the Budget
Office who were described as “budget mafia” and accused of sabotaging
the budget.
The “budget mafia”,
Leystradamus.Com.Ng
gathered, have links with Permanent secretaries and DGs and MDs of
government agencies who send them figures to secretly include inside the
budget and once such money are approved and released, they all share
the Billions for their personal enjoyment.
The source said, “
The President is really
angry over the discrepancies discovered in the 2016 budget. It has been
confirmed that it was a clear case of sabotage."
President Buhari has given a directive that henceforth anyone found in such acts will be sent to jail.
