Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, (PDP, Abia South), has
claimed that President Buhari's 2018 budget was
“fictitious” and “dead on arrival”, throwing the Red
Chamber into turmoil.
Abaribe said this on Tuesday during plenary.
He said: “What we debate usually is the general
principles. What are we debating about a document that
is totally fictitious?” he queried.
Senator Ahmed Lawan, (APC, Yobe North), who tackle
him, said it is “out of order to use offensive and
inventive language. Mr President, to call a document that
the president of the federal republic of Nigeria presented
to the National Assembly fictitious is improper and
unparliamentary.” Abaribe plowed on.
“Mr. President, quoting the Senate leader in his speech,”
he said, “the 2018 budget is designed to consolidate on
the achievements of the 2016 and the 2017 budgets.
“What was done in 2017 when less than 15% of that
budget was released? Nothing was done. That is why I
call it fictitious. I’m very sorry if that is the word he is
bothered about. I withdraw the word fictitious and say
that this is totally imaginary.
“Because nothing was done in 2017. That is a fact that
we all know,” he said.
