Deliberately inflating budget estimates beyond the actual costs of the projects listed. A bridge for example, costs 1m but figure is manipulated and adopted as 2m so they could "keep" the additional 1m on it.

What's your definition of budget padding? I would genuinely appreciate an informed explanation. Please, educate me, my brother.
He invented "budget padding".
Undoubtedly, Senator Bukola Saraki occupies a significant place in the political history of Kwara State and Nigeria. His emergence as President of the 8th Senate in 2015 made him the first person from Kwara State to occupy that office. His tenure was particularly notable for legislative productivity, institutional independence and a Senate that actively asserted its constitutional responsibilities.
Under his leadership, the 8th Senate reportedly passed 274 bills and cleared 192 petitions within 46 months. From the Not Too Young To Run Act to the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities Act and the North East Development Commission Act, several legislative interventions from that Assembly left an important mark on Nigeria's governance and democratic development.
Beyond the numbers, his tenure offers an interesting case study in legislative leadership, parliamentary independence and executive-legislative relations. His emergence and eventual leadership of the Senate remain significant moments in the history of Nigeria's Fourth Republic.
Irrespective of political affiliations or personal sentiments, Oloye's political dexterity, intellectual depth, strategic brilliance and remarkable understanding of the dynamics of power are qualities that deserve recognition. One may disagree with his politics, question his decisions or hold opposing political views, but his influence on Kwara's political history and his role in Nigeria's national political discourse cannot simply be overlooked. His political journey remains an interesting subject for students of politics, governance and political leadership.
Oloye is HIM🙌 @bukolasaraki
But Ronaldo apologizing to the Portuguese FA to allow him continue playing is fine 😏.
Messi extending 3 years at Inter Miami to chase 1000 goals is the most shameless Ronaldo-wannabe move ever.
But he forgot the basics: he's not CR7. He doesn't have the engine, the body, the mentality
1 goal in 3 games in the MLS which is one of the worst leagues. He should try Newell boys in Argentina and statpad there
You can admire Ronaldo, you can try to copy his longevity, but you can't fake it. Being Ronaldo takes work, sacrifice, dedication and elite talent. Messi is just exposing himself
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
