The Ondo election is holding next week.

President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the National Assembly to approve the refund of N148 billion to Ondo, Bayelsa, Cross River, Osun and Rivers States for federal road projects the five states executed.

The president made this known in a letter on Tuesday sent to the speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, and read on the floor of the house.The Senate had last year approved N10 billion to Kogi State, three days to its governorship election. The approval was criticised by opposition lawmakers who asked that the approval be delayed untill after the election.

The intention is Ondo, others are just smokescreen. PMB always do this close to elections he's interested in - Kogi is on the mind. We can't sustain a democratic process where votes are bought.

Vote buying.......

Shameless! It’s Election time in Edo State and you remember this. We’re not all fools but foolish enough to be allowing this corrupt practices continue to damage our polity. Integrity my foot 🦶 RevolutionNow

This is Nigeria, Everybody be criminal. _ Falz

It is their constant strategy! Never changes. Vote money to an APC state just before a major election. So shameful.

76B to Rivers State and 7B to Ondo State and some gullible Nigerians are Wailing bcoz of 7B to Ondo State.... A lot of NIGERIANS no get brain at all

Why does MR President support corruption when he proclaims to fight it. Why release money to states on the eve of campaigns and election? He did the same thing in Kogi election. It amounts to vote buying.

Nothing would revert the PDP win in Ondo, God willing..

Fellow Ondo, collect the money and vote them out.

Vote buying!

can you explain to Nigerians why you choose Ondo State out of the four states to get Refund,to feature on your headline. Because out of the ‘N147b’ only N7b is to Ondo. Alphabetically Ondo doesn’t come first or last

They did same in Kogi state few days to that election, so I'm not surprised

Please let the approval wait till October 12

Election money again ooo. Always refunding money when election is near.

76billion to Rivers , 7 billion to Ondo

JUST IN: Buhari seeks approval for N147bn refund to Ondo, four other states

Election style but we know every.

Rigging monies o

Now, the handwriting is on the wall if OfficialPDPNig would be smart enough to read it. They would rather sacrifice Edo to teach Tinubu and Oshiomole a lesson while they keep Ondo because of Aketi who pledges allegiance to Abuja. PDP should monitor them bumper to bumper.

Buhari's kind of corruption is Subtle, behind the scene forgetting that Nigerians are smarter now. So they always have intervention funds and refunds a few days to elections? UKinNigeria USinNigeria

There is the high suspicion that a repeat of what happened in Osun, Kano & Kogi is what will likely happened in Ondo state where thugs hired by the ruling party invaded the 3 states. It is high time for the intl community to act fast. StateDept UKinNigeria EU_Commission

Bad guy.

Why the government is always about money money money why not fixing

Am not surprised, election is here!

Chai..... tatatata loading

Dis one na to buy election votes na

Pls help me like the tweet below 👇👇 Thanks

ReverseDSSRecruitment Ondo people should do the needful and reject Buhari's government by voting out RotimiAkeredolu

You people are wasting your time to reply a dead Administration of Buhari

There was no refund for Edo state.

I love Buhari because he doesn't hide it. Gather here if you love Buhari too

This headline is a disgrace. Are the four others states in Niger Republic that you can't mention them in your headline like you did Ondo? Oh, they are not holding elections in those states🙄. Rabble rousing headline merchants, shame on you.

Audio refund 4 weeks to election, na only Nepa Bill dey use this kind of 'remote control'

Election money abi.... to settle OfficialAPCNg members and thugs to rig election. .... we get it... we know it.

Something happened days to Edit election.

Bribery and corruption cum vote buying money

Mr Intergeity AKA baba Corruption supervisor at it again.

Congratulations Ondo 😂

Buhari is an enabler of corruption. Let that sink into you.

They know our problem they wait till they need our fingerprints befr they can feed us. The govt control d masses with a single weapon 'poverty' they will be d1 to set us up in an unfavourable economy condition &they will come wit promises 2 free us if we corporate Oct1stProtest

When same Buhari refunded akwa ibom 2wks to the general election, why didn’t people here come and cry? Abegi joor

America please don't forget about your visa ban . It helped in Edo , it would be needed in ondo too

A Refund few weeks to an election? I remember what happened in Kogi state after ''refunds'' few weeks to an election.

Election money, what kind of country is this? This guy has no integrity.

We will resist any attempt to buy our conscience

Always dishing out huge amounts of money to APC states whenever election draws closer. Why not give out these sums to states to pay workers & pensioners?

Hmm pre-election period

Like in Kogi,Osun and now Ondo. Pay for votes.

It's a good thing sir so far they get it after the election in Ondo. Giving it days to the election signifies only one thing....

Money to rig election

Few days to Kogi Election they gave Yahaya Bello 10 Billion and everybody saw what happened. Now few days to Ondo election they want to release 147 Billion. Ondo people will eat the money and still vote their conscience just like they did in Edo

Useless journalism

Shame on you MBuhari

AyodeleOlusesan Why now? 🤔

No shame with vote buying.

Buhari’s refunds coinciding with election preparation...

And the useless rubber stamp NASS will grant it. As usual...a country with no direction.

Why is MBuhari asking the approval of nassnigeria for ondo & other state now? Can't he do this after ondo election? If femigbaja is a good democrat & representative of the people, they should wait till after ondo election

Some days to the election? Lmao

Wanzaaam

That is exactly how kogi state election was rigged this government of buhari has been hijacked by cables that do things the they like

Corruption

Was there any election in rivers state when 70B+ was released to them? You like conspiracy theories a lot.

Election don come nah! Lols USinNigeria UKinNigeria EUinNigeria Pls do your thing again! Since we can't help ourselves by ourself, help restore sanity and credibility in our electoral process by imposing visa ban.

I weep for this country...This people are just full of shit...we are just speechless..he did samething to oshiomole the during the election of Obaseki..samething to osun state during their election...Where are we really going

How long does it take between Senate/HOR approvals and the actual credit to the states by CBN? I suspect its still some months away.

Vote buying

Shameless people. Vote buying in disguise. This will not stop Gov Akeredolu and APC from losing OndoDecides2020. OndoDeservesBetter OndoIsBetterWithPDP

Looks like recycled news, same news as in June 2020. The breakdown of the funds and their beneficiaries are: Rivers (N78.953); Bayelsa (N38.040 billion); Cross River (N18.394 billion); Ondo (N7.822 billion); Osun (N2.468 billion).

Baba release those funds to boost the economy and make life easier for the common man.

Ha haha! I Laugh In OWO!

Abeg refund the money before election so that we go get awoof money on election day.😁😁😁😁😁

So, because an election is holding in Ondo, it should have been exempted? Na thunder go strike anyone who's against it, double strike for those who kept quiet when Wike got 78billion but will now say rubbish about Ondo getting paid for work done in the past.

Ondo State when election is few weeks away?

Just like empowerment program was organized in Edo few tl days to election. Kogi received it own days to election, Ondo State will smile soon too

Why was Edo state not refunded during their election? Buhari is the most corrupt citizen

The Senate had last year approved N10 billion to Kogi State, three days to its governorship election. Ondo election is in 11 days' time. Same old narrative, same old format.

Coming during Ondo Election, Mumu President

Vote buy loading'''''''''-------------

Same game plan as Kogi election... Weldon Buhari, o kare...

Because the election is coming, this money is just for vote buying MBuhari and APCNigeria has finished Nigeria

Perfect timing. Always replaying same old script.

Does Buhari even know an election is holding in Ondo on Saturday? He was just told to sign the papers and he just did.

Same script everytime.

Why close to election?

Irresponsibility at its peak. MBuhari was b4 aiding corruption and now helping it. Don’t tell me otherwise

The only State in their mind is Ondo, the other 3 are used to pull a wool over our eyes. Election is a fees days hence.

See this people ... refund the money after elections ... we go fit wait till then ..

Lol... You guys are too predictable 🤣😂

Ondo State election is next week but the state will receive ₦7billion from the federal government as a refund whatever. Three days to election, the Senate approved 10b for Kogi last year. Why must this Man & his goons share money in any election? Man is a complete disaster!!!

This money is going for that election.

Just like he released Billions to Kogi few days before election. APC are working to rig Ondo State election by way of buying off politicians.

When its almost time.

Election money

We saw this coming, just like he did with Osun State in 2018: approving funds for a state where his party is the incumbent and running for a reelection close to Election Day for vote buying. The tactics will fail this time. NoToVoteBuying OndoDeservesBetter

GMB cannot even try to be subtle anymore, man just does what needs to be done.

Don't release this kind of money... Aketi is kokoro jowo jowo...

Na to take the money carry am inside the family account bcus na family government we dey

Prior to an election; trader moni prior to your election, do you think the citizens are dummies or will remain so forever.

This na paper money

Don't mind him when FG release to wike of Rivers state where he sqaudered it on obaseki Edo election you did not say anything oooo

their rigging strategy is on! Ondo people should take note.

One week to election.... Ode

Don't approve until after the handover to a new political administration in Ondo State.

Again on the eve of Ondo State Gubernatorial elections! Can the approval wait until after the elections, please? The elections should not be unevenly influenced by the intended refund.

When did the FG borrow money from Ondo that they want to refund now?

Common sense didn’t allow report what they should. They used Ondo as the headline and ignored the other PDP state mentioned. This is gross foolishness and fake reporting.

My country and her way of getting things done. O ga ooo

Rotten strategy

Because Ondo is involved, so other states should be denied their money? Some people no well Sha.

MBuhari thunder strike you there

Is the president politically smart? Refund to bayelsa when the judiciary is yet to finalize the governorship election. The man go just dey move like zombie

Buhari is extremely corrupt. He lacks integrity and an absolute disgrace to morality, transparency and accountability

This Buhari and his handlers think everyone of us is as idiotic and they are. Why release funds to Ondo now if not for vote buying. Stupid Mr Integrity

Baffles me how this man sold us the whole anti corruption package..

Yeah he want to repeat same incident that happened in Kogi state after fund was released to his godson.

So that Apc will use it to camping well done good government 🤪🤪🤪🤪

So it wont look like its just ONDO 😏. The people's president.

For What,wetin una sell give them

As usual just like Kogi, at election time, refund them to aid their come back with massive funding.

Wetin dem buy ? 🙄

Timely lmaooooo

Is it the way u guys want to rig the election,what financial relationship went on between ONDO and FG.we need further clarification on this please.

Why does this administration only release fund during election. Believe me other three States they added was just to cover up.

Always timed

Hahhaahha. Is this a ploy to bribe Wike not to interfere in Ondo and empower Akeredolu to buy vote. Buhari Mr Integrity oh

No Matter how much you give them Ondoisbetterwithpdp

...Elections are around the corner in Ondo. Is Osinbajo going for another round of TraderMoni?
