Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, has appealed to Nigerians not to blame President Muhammadu Buhari for the 2016 budget controversy, but to hold civil servants liable.

Speaking at his office in Abuja while receiving leaders of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, Gbajabiamila said, “I’m going to absolve the President, but I’m not going to absolve the people that put it in.

Why I absolved the President, I will tell you.

“The job was done by civil servants, it has always been done by them.

“The President does not sit in a ministry, he doesn’t know what’s going on there or what they need or do not need.

“The argument will be that the buck stops at his desk and he must take responsibility, I agree with that.

But the point is that he delegated responsibilities.

Under the constitution, he has the right to delegate his work to ministers.

And he delegated the issue of budget and planning to the minister of Budget and Planning,” Gbajabiamila said.

so he didn't go through the budget before presenting it ........that budget should just be represented......

2nd to read and comment

In essence, we should blame the minister of budget and planning and by extension the civil servants.

The blame should start from the president and follows down.

Hmmmmmm fish is smelling here oooo

What exactly is happening with this budget? Everybody is to blame abeg.

The President can not personally read the whole of that budget, he gat to read some part and give other parts out for him people to read it.

They should blame GEJ..
