Senate, Buhari on collision course
The Senate has said that the letter by President Muhammadu Buhari in which he claimed that the National Assembly’s approval for refunds to Delta and Taraba State Governments was different from what the Federal Executive Council approved, must have resulted from misinformation by his aides.
The President had claimed in his letter to the National Assembly dated March 5, 2019 that “While the Federal Executive Council approved a total sum of N78, 601, 631, 430.16 as reimbursement to Delta and Taraba State Governments, the National Assembly approved N90, 236,461, 031.36, which is higher than the amount approved by the Federal Executive Council”.
