“Senators Won’t See This Budget, Just Like the Last One” – Deji Adeyanju on 2025 Budget
Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju raised concerns on Thursday, suggesting that some senators may not have the opportunity to review the 2025 budget before it is passed into law.
Adeyanju’s comments started from conversations he had with five senators who claimed that they were never given access to the last budget, despite repeatedly requesting to see it.
According to Adeyanju, the budget was passed “with the speed of light,” without the senators having a chance to scrutinize its details.
In a post shared on X, Adeyanju expressed his worry about the current state of the country’s governance, stating, “Five senators told me they never saw the last budget after several demands; it was later passed into law with the speed of light.
I’m sure, senators won’t also see this budget, neither will they scrutinize it, and it will be passed.
This is how low we have descended as a nation.”
On Wednesday, President Bola Tinubu presented the 2025 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly.
This budget, which has been dubbed “The Restoration Budget: Securing Peace, Rebuilding Prosperity,” outlines the government’s financial priorities for the coming fiscal year.
Among the budget’s major allocations, Tinubu revealed that N4.91 trillion would be dedicated to Defence and Security, underlining the government’s focus on maintaining national security.
A significant portion, N4.06 trillion, has been earmarked for Infrastructure, reflecting an emphasis on improving the country’s physical and technological infrastructure.
Education and Health are also priorities, with N3.52 trillion allocated to Education and N2.48 trillion to Health.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
