Mandate Your Ministers Not To Travel During Budget Defence, Akpabio Tells Tinubu by ijustdey: 9:20pm On Nov 29, 2023
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has told President Bola Tinubu not to allow his cabinet members travel when they are expected to defend the 2024 budget at the National Assembly.

He said this when the president presented N27.5trn budget proposal before a joint session of the National Assembly, on Wednesday.

Tinubu had appealed to the lawmakers to pass the budget within 30 days.

Responding, the senate president said the lawmakers will, on Thursday and Friday, consider the 2024 budget for first and second readings and then adjourn plenary till December 12 for budget defence with MDAs.

He assured President Tinubu that the budget proposals will be diligently considered accordingly.

He therefore urged ministers and the heads of government agencies to shun travelling engagements during the budget scrutiny.

Akpabio said, “We assure you that the proposals you have come to present will be diligently considered accordingly.

“We approach this moment with a sense of duty, unity, and purpose. To ensure maximum attention to the review of the Year 2023 Budget performance and the consideration of the Year 2024 Budget Proposal, we request that Mr President would mandate Honorable Ministers and Heads of Agencies to avoid any travelling engagements that would prevent them from honoring our invitation to promptly appear before our committees to defend their budget estimates.

“As we embark on the journey of reviewing the 2024 budget, let us remember that our actions today will shape the future of our nation. Together, let us work towards a budget that reflects the aspirations and dreams of every Nigerian citizen for a greater country.”

Great!

In the past, some ministers will decline to come for budget defense and will instead send representatives. That is now bygone.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Rt. Hon Tajudeen Abbas Ph.D are both certainly the best thing since sliced bread.

Notice the impertinent language?
A senate president telling the president of the whole nation what to do instead of requesting or conferring with him privately in a dignified manner.
That's one reason we have so many un-home trained, ill-mannered vagabonds in the country.
BTW, I agree with his thoughts but not the communication.

Oh the irony...

Bola Tinubu also doubles as a federal minister - the minister of petroleum. Does this sit at home advice apply to him too?

He will most definitely not be called for budget defence by lawmakers. Some dubious deference to his office as president will ensure that legislative oversight functions on that federal ministry will not be properly carried out - at a point when it needs it most.

This is the same thing Buhari did. Buhari refused to appoint a minister to run the petroleum ministry for nearly the entire length of his two term presidency - with predictably disastrous results. Bola Tinubu is treading the same path.

Unfortunately, that path leads nowhere.

Akpabio is the Senate President, like him or hate him.

All of you that are waiting to abuse your parents thinking you're abusing the man should kiss the dust.
Whether you like him or not, he remains the president of the 8th Senate.
Hide your faces in shame.

Enough is enough.
