BREAKING: ‘Its The President Fault’ – Falana hits Tinubu over alleged N1.4bn budget padding

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has accused President Bola Tinubu of enabling budget padding by the National Assembly, citing the alleged insertion of a N1.4 billion road project in Ogun State into the budget of the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education, NCAOOSCE.

The commission denied responsibility for the development, blaming the National Assembly for inserting the “off-mandate” constituency projects into its 2026 budget.Catch d Full Content Here
