What Obasanjo Told Buhari (vanguard) by 6baba(m): 10:53pm On Jul 25, 2016 |
Abuja - Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo on
Monday delivered messages from the Presidents of
Liberia and Gambia to President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Obasanjo made this known while answering
questions from State House correspondents after a
closed meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari
at the State House, Abuja.
Although the former president did not divulge the
content of the message, he said he updated
president Buhari on the outcome of the Annual
General Meeting (AGM) of the Africa Export-Import
Bank, which he attended in Seychelles Island.
``I have some messages for the president.
``Not too long ago, I was in Liberia and The Gambia
and the presidents of these two countries had
some messages that they would want me to deliver
to the President.
``Also, only yesterday I came back from Seychelles
Island, where I attended this year's Annual General
meeting of Africa Export –Import Bank.
``And there were aspects of the proceedings during
that meeting that I think I should update the
President on.’’
On the issue of budget padding, Obasanjo advised
the President to always be vigilant, saying that the
recent 2016 Budget scandal in the National
Assembly had vindicated him.
Obasanjo had in January challenged the National
Assembly to open the financial records of the
Senate and the House of Representatives since
1999 to external bodies.
The former president expressed concern over the
current budget padding accusation and counter-
accusation between the leadership of the House of
Representatives and the former Chairman of the
House Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin
Jibrin.
Jibrin, who was removed as the chairman of the
committee last week, had accused the leadership of
the House of padding the 2016 budget to the tune
of N40 billion.
He alleged that the padding was done at a secret
location with the backing of the Speaker and three
principal officers including Deputy Speaker Yusuff
Lasun, House Whip Alhassan Ado Doguwa and
Minority Leader Leo Ogor.
Some supporters of the Speaker in the House of
Representatives in turn accused the aggrieved
member of padding the 2016 budget with billions
of naira.
