The issue of budget is now becoming frustrating, I don’t understand people complaining that there are some changes made in the budget by the National Assembly, there is nowhere in world democracies you expect a budget to go to the legislature and come out unchanged.
The solution out of this logjam is dialogue and cooperation, I expect the president to sign the budget within this week. People forget the National Assemble can pass this budget into law with a 2/3 majority if the president fails to sign it within a stipulated time.
Mr Buhari needs to provide the needed political leadership to APC as a party, the party does not seem to have a uniform direction, why will a party that has majority of members start complaining of sabotage, spreading propaganda and blackmail while the masses wallow in abject poverty and hardship for lack of basic amenities. Yes the president is doing his best, but his political acumen is close to zero, he is not using tools like lobbying and  dialogue to provide the political leadership his party needs for the betterment of Nigeria people. Security and Welfare of the people should top the priority of every serious government, while the president has done well in the area of improving security; his performance so far on welfare is nothing to write home about.
What I am saying in a nutshell the budget should be sign now, the lacunas identified can be rectified with a supplementary budget, this is a democracy, and one has to give and take. We cannot afford any further unnecessary delay to the signing of the budget, Nigerians want to feel the impact of the change we voted for, so far only the people in government have come to terms with the change, for the masses it remains elusive.
