2019 budget: President Buhari is responsible for delay in passage – Ekweremadu
Nigeria’s Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari was responsible for budget delay in the last four years.
Senate begins the second reading of the budget, Wednesday which was presented by President Muhammadu Buhari on 19th December 2018, but could not debate on the proposal due to breaks. He lamented that Mr President would always present the budget before the joint sittings towards the end of December, thereby, made it impossible for quick passage.
“However, the executive is always responsible for budget delay. Section 318 of the 1999 Constitution as amended provided the budget circle from January to December of every year.”
