I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS "BUHARINOMICS"............... FAYOSE SAYS



Use Recovered Loots, TSA To Fund Budget Deficit; Don’t Borrow……………… Fayose Tells
Peter Ayodele Fayose, the Executive Governor of Ekiti state is once again on the news. The very outspoken governor has once again; put the presidency on its toes by advising   President, Muhammadu Buhari to use funds and all
recovered loots from corrupt politicians and money saved from the Treasury Single Account (TSA), to finance the N1.84 trillion deficits in the 2016 budget.
The Ekiti state Governor gave the advice in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.
In the statement, describing as unnecessary, the reported plan of the federal government to borrow $2 billion from China to finance the deficit in the budget, Fayose said the move was an attempt to mortgage the future of Nigeria and its people and put the country into unnecessary debt.
Reiterating that the 2016 budget was not a reflection of the present economic reality in the
country, Peter Fayose lamented that the proposed loan if obtained would further aggravate the suffering of the masses in 2017 when the Federal Government will be servicing its debt with about 50 percent of its budget.
“In elementary economics, you don’t propose to spend more when your
income reduces, and I still can’t understand this “Buharinomics” in which Nigeria is going to spend N6.06 billion with crude oil bench mark of $38 per barrel when the country budget was N4.5 trillion in 2015 when crude oil bench mark was $53 per barrel", the Governor stated.
According to him, “with the proposed N1.84 trillion borrowing, $2 billion of which Buhari is
already going to borrow in China, the nation may soon be going the way of Greece because Nigeria will be borrowing N5billion per day for the next 365 days”.
“If your income was N200, 000 per month last year and your expenditure was N195, 000 per
month; does it make any economic sense for you to propose to spend N300, 000 per month this year that your income has reduced to N120, 000? Fayose queried.
