The Presidency says that President Muhammadu Buhari will only assent to the 2016 Appropriation Bill recently passed by the National Assbuhariembly when the details are presented.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, who made this known in an interview, said “Yes, the National Assembly has passed the budget and sent the bill to the President but the details did not come with the bill. Of course, the President cannot sign something without seeing the details. The normal practice is that the details would have accompanied the bill. When the President presented the Appropriation bill it was accompanied by the details.”
He continued that the presidency expects that in less than a week, the legislature should be able to conclude whatever work they are doing on the details, and convey it to the president for assent.
Speaking on the decision to join the Saudi Arabia-backed Islamic anti-terrorist coalition which has generated a lot of criticisms, Garba said President Buhari needs the support he has gotten from religious leaders in the country, be they Muslims or Christians, and that nobody can take that for granted.
He explained that the president went into the Islamic alliance against terror and for the national interest.
“Culturally speaking, we have a proverb which says that your enemy’s enemy is your friend. So logically speaking, whoever is fighting terror in the world should be your friend. We don’t have to look at their background.
“The President, earlier in the administration, went to the G-7 which, with due respect, is not a coalition of Islamic countries. In terms of religion they are majorly Christians. The G-7 does not comprise black people like us, they are majorly whites, but because they want to assist Nigeria to achieve its objectives, he went there and placed his cards on the table seeking for help. He went to the United States of America and without looking at ideological or religious orientation, he said, I need your help.http://www.ripples.com.ng/buhari-wont-approve-2016-budget-yet-presidency/
