PDP Warns NASS Against Approving Buhari’s Budget Without Details

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the National Assembly to ensure that all the details of the 2020 budget proposal were submitted to it and thoroughly checked before legislative approval is given.

National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, who gave the charge at the inauguration of the party’s campaign councils for Bayelsa and Kogi States in Abuja, yesterday, stated that the 2020 Budget presented by President Muhammadu Buhari was empty and was sent without the budget estimates.

He charged members of the National Assembly not to succumb to pressure from the executive and pass the budget without the estimates attached therein, adding that it is wrong for members of the parliament to commence deliberations on the budget without being served with a copy of the details of the budget estimates.

“There is confusion all over the place; confusion in the villa, confusion in the other room even confusion in the presentation of the budget. Of course, that budget is voodoo budget; it’s empty. They sent the budget without estimates; they should learn how to properly present a budget. The National Assembly cannot commence debate on a budget to tied to any estimate”

“Of course, as far as we are concerned, they have already passed the budget without estimates. As far as we are concerned, APC has failed,” Secondus said.
