Will the 2018 Budget be stolen or will it disappear from the National Assembly come January?

If available information and Records within the internet and right in our brains are anything to go by, then trust me, the 2018 Budget will disappear from the National Assembly by January 2018. Within same month, we expect Ministries and Agencies to deny figures in the budget, accusation of padding and counter accusation will be here and there.
Nigerians will end up not knowing what to expect and what not to expect. I'm not an Economist but I'm very sure that when a budget is used as expected, the citizens feel the impact of Governance. They see physical Development and not Development on pages of Newspapers.
No doubt, since the inception of the APC Government under President Buhari, Nigeria have witnessed increase in Budget, increase in Poverty, increase in Suicide, increase in corruption and increase in propaganda. We are yet to see infrastructural development, we are yet to see decrease in cost of food and basic amenities, we are yet to see decrease in US dollars exchange rate as promised by the Buhari Team.
The only thing Nigerians see(hear) on a daily basis are stories of Looting and Re-looting of unseen stolen funds.

Reno Omokri has this to say, and sincerely, I agree with him.

Each year President Buhari budgets twice the amount of money that Jonathan budgeted yet every year Nigerians get twice the suffering they had under PDP. Jonathan never budgeted more than ₦4.6 trillion. Buhari regularly budgets ₦8 trillion and above (₦8.6 trillion is his latest budget). How come Nigerians paid ₦87 Naira per litter of fuel and ₦8k for a 50kg of rice under Jonathan's ₦4.2 trillion budget and ₦145 for fuel and ₦20k for rice under President Buhari’s ₦8.6 trillion budget? Yet Jonathan was allegedly corrupt while Buhari is allegedly a man of integrity?
You may not agree with what he said but that's simply what we are seeing and I want to end this by asking; will the 2018 budget disappear from the National Assembly?
Your guess is as good as mine.
