Former head of state, Gen.\u00a0 Ibrahim Babangida, has kicked the rogue\u00a0 2016 budget that has been trailed by controversy.<\/p>\n

Babangida was particularly miffed by the provisions for rent for the presidential villa, and the huge budget for food.<\/p>\n

His reactions were contained in strings of tweets via his handle @General_IBB.<\/p>\n

Yesterday the Senate said the N10 billion smuggled into the Education budget was a typographical error,\u00a0 few days earlier. Health minister, Prof Adewole told the nation that his ministry\u2019s budget was tampered with.<\/p>\n

The over N30.8 million earmarked for rent was particularly troubling to him, as he wondered who gets the rent for Aso Rock.<\/p>\n

Another item that was of particular concern to Babangida was the colossal amount set aside for feeding.<\/p>\n

N445.5 million is set aside for food in the Villa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI built Aso Rock and I wonder who the current Landlord is. I read a certain N22M for the payment of Aso Rock rent. Rent to who, Me or GEJ?\u201d the former president who annulled the June 12 presidential election tweeted.<\/p>\n

The former self styled military president also tweeted \u201d I\u00a0 strongly believe our Politicians are well fed. The Aso Rock food budget should be reviewed. Aso Rock is not a place to feed Politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Babangida fondly called Maradona had few days ago disagreed with president Muhammadu Buhari remarks in London concerning Nigerians and crime.<\/p>\n

He tweeted \u201d I think Mr President should know #NigeriansAreNotCriminals, Countries with the highest crime rate are USA; Germany; France; Russia & Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
