Now remember I said yesterday law maker they say where the money they go they implement budget where they see where the money they go it's called master strategies master strategies at the same time everyday Nigerians are struggling with severe economic hardship on motorable roads dilapidated healthcare facilities reporters dropped this report consumer responsibility critics pointed out that other Nigerians consumer free work traditional institutions fall under the responsibility of state and local government. Community level infrastructure also falls under the responsibility of state and local government. These responsibilities do not belong to the federal government.

[00:21:08]Okay. Tracker questions federal government priorities. Tracker questioned the national assembly and the presidency in his public post on earth waited a talk at a time of rising depth and limited fiscal space. Should the federal government for projects that are largely local in nature? Why state and local governments concerning exist to address many community level needs? Now state and local government do this work federal government which they look for for palaces. Okay. Tracker explained that the issue was not about whether traditional issue were important. No say whe according to the organization this is not about the importance of our traditional institutions. It is about ensuring that public budget reflect consumer responsibilities mandate and Nigerians development priorities. Tracker added the federal budget should not become a vehicle for financing project outside the coral and statutory responsibilities of the institutions implemented them. Okay. 38.

[00:22:18]Allegations of constituency party and political patronage. Public affairs analyst argued that inserting local palace construction project into the budgets of cancer research institutes, agricultural boards, science agencies, health institutions, other or related federal agencies. Mhm. Is a classic tactic used by federal lawmakers to insert constituency party into the federal budget. Siphon public funds, reward political cronies, disguise the spy as support for traditional rulers.

[00:22:50]central questions raised by the investigation. Why is a cancer research institute renovating traditional rulers palaces? Why are agricultural research institutions constructing and furnishing royal buildings? Why are science, veterinary, employment and oil spill agencies executing palace projects? Why do 11 projects worth 5.85 billion have no identified physical locations? How can citizens track projects when their locations are not disclosed? Why is the federal government financing project considered the responsibility of state and local government? These are the questions where they raise. Why are the agencies without tax mandate being assigned billions of naira in palace construction projects? Why is 2250 billion being committed to 106 palace projects while the country faces 31.45 trillion fiscal deficit? poor rules, severe economic hardship and deteriority healthcare facilities. Another one they say they even assign 8 billion for mosque and churches. This one day if I get time I do one for my second channel extra in the history of Nigeria they talk so I don't come up from reporters. Have you ever seen any government organization deliberately building or renovating churches, mosque, royal palaces on this scale before? Especially when we say election of THE APPROACH. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT these institutions are the edging rooms of communal influence and control. Now they control people.

[00:24:27]And they influences for judges. Many many things we never see before since the independence of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Imagine a government renovating your palace just a few weeks or months before an election.

[00:24:47]Would you not feel adepted to that government? Would you not support it and even confront members of your community who refuse to support the re-election of that government? Master strategist hey don't forget to like, share and subscribe to this channel. Like and
