President Goodluck Jonathan won’t sign Budget 2013 as passed by the National Assembly yet, Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said yesterday.

There are disagreements between the Presidency and the lawmakers over the budget.

A statement by her spokesman, Paul Nwabuikwu, said she has “clarified that the talk of the President signing the budget this week is premature.”

The statement noted that “discussions between the Executive and the National Assembly are ongoing in a cordial atmosphere, it is not yet clear when they will be concluded as much work remains to be done.

“Against this background, reports stating that the President will sign the budget this week are therefore not realistic” the statement added.

Senior lawyers yesterday added a fresh twist to the dispute between the Presidency and the National Assembly over the Appropriation Bill, arguing that the President may have lost his power to assent the Bill.

Chief Felix Fagbohungbe, Mr. Joseph Nwobike and Mr. Femi Falana (all Senior Advocates of Nigeria) argued that by the provision of Section 58 (4) and (5) of the Constitution, the President can no longer assent to any Bill passed by the National Assembly, 30 days after it had been transmitted to him.

The lawyers argued that the lawful way out is for President Jonathan to return the Bill to the National Assembly for its “rework.”

Sub-Section 4 reads: “Where a bill is presented to the President for assent, he shall, within 30 days thereof, signify that he assents or that he withholds assent.”

Sub-Section 5 reads: “Where the president withholds his assent and the bill is again passed by each House by two-third majority, the bill shall become law and the assent of the President shall not be required.

Fagbohungbe agreed that by virtue of the constitutional provision, the President cannot assent to a Bill after 30 days of its tranmission to him.

“That is the position of the law. If the President goes ahead to sign the Bill, his belated assent will render such resulting Act a nullity.

“I know the President will not act unconstitutionally. I believe if he notes that the prescribed 30 days has lapsed, he will return it to the National Assembly for the necessary actions,” he said.

Fagbohungbe cautioned that “we should first ascertain when exactly the Bill was transmitted to the President before we can start counting.”

Nwobike said: “Even if the constitutionally-prescribed 30 days have lapsed, since the National Assembly has not exercised its power of veto, by passing it with two-thirds majority, as required by that section of the Constitution, the President can proceed and assent to the Bill.

“As it stands, it is still a Bill because neither the President nor the National Assembly has exercised the powers conferred on them by the Constitution in a situation like this.

“The National Assembly can only override the President’s assent by exercising its powers of veto before the President assents to the Bill,” Nwobike said.

He noted that the Niger-Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Act came into effect by virtue of the National Assembly overriding the President’s assent.

Falana argued that “having not assented to the Appropriation within 30 days of the receipt of the receipt of the Bill, the President is mandatorily required to present the Bill to the joint sitting of the National Assembly which may decide to pass it by two-thirds majority.

“However, in order to resolve this lingering constitutional crisis, President Jonathan should request the Supreme Court to determine the extent of the powers of the National Assembly to rewrite the budget,” he said.

Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has revealed that he earns N25, 000 per night as incidental allowance on his trips within the country.

He said this in response to the request by a Lagos based lawyer, Bamidele Aturu, for details of his remuneration and expenditures in accordance with the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2011. He however failed to disclose his allowances for foreign trips as well as his full remuneration as he insisted that they were as approved by the Presidency.

But in a swift reaction, Aturu said that he was not satisfied with the CBN Governor’s replies, and insisted that he must reveal the full details of his earnings and allowances.

The lawyer noted that he planned to do a follow up on the request as it appeared that the CBN had misunderstood some of the questions.

Nonetheless, he commended the Governor for his response and said that it would encourage other public institutions to conduct their affairs transparently.

“We are impressed that the Governor is entitled to only N25, 000 as daily allowance when he travels within Nigeria. That is not excessive at all by Nigerian public officials’ standards and given his lofty position. However, it is a little troubling that while the Bank was willing to state the local daily allowance it refused to state what the Governor earns when he travels outside the country.

Aturu, in a letter dated December 31, 2001 had requested that the CBN Governor provide information concerning recurrent expenditures for him and his office pursuant to Sections 1, 3 and 4 of the FOI Act 2011.

Sanusi who responded through the CBN Legal Adviser/Director, Legal Services Department S. M. Onekutu said that, “The Governor’s remuneration is as stipulated by the Board and approved by Mr President in accordance with Section 8(3) of the CBN Act.

“Besides the governor’s emolument and indeed the emolument structure of the CBN is benchmarked against the banking industry as approved in the federal government’s white paper on the presidential committee on consolidation of emoluments in the Public Service.

“However, we are unable to release the details of the Governor’s salary and allowances as that information is already a subject of litigation in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/1016/2011: Uzoegwu F. O. C Vs CBN & HAGF. The matter is on appeal and it will be prejudicial to comment on it.”

Other requests bordered on allowances on foreign trips, whether the CBN owned aircraft, what classes of flight the governor travelled in when on official trips within and outside the country, how many cleaners, drivers are attached to the governor’s office and residence as well as how much imprest he collects monthly among others.

Onekutu disclosed that the governor travels Business Class within the country and First Class outside Nigeria and added that Sanusi had occasionally used chartered planes to travel within and outside the country as dictated by exigencies.

On how many drivers are attached to Sanusi’s office and home he said “the governor’s official drivers are drawn from the pool of drivers in the Governor’s Department, and are sourced from the pool of drivers in the Governor’s Office Department on need basis. On number of cleaners, he said “the Bank (CBN), as a matter of policy does not employ cleaners, therefore, there are no cleaners attached to his office or home.

On monthly imprest he said “No monthly imprest is maintained by the Governor” Onekutu said and maintained that the Governor’s entitlement for foreign trips is as approved by the Federal Government.

“We still expect the Governor to answer the question as he is in a position to know exactly what he earns and if he does not know he could have simply said so.

“We agree with the Bank that the time frame we gave, as required by law, was insufficient to calculate or sum up the amount spent on chartered flights within and outside Nigeria. To this end, we shall be doing a follow up and although we are required to give seven days, we promise the bank not to sue immediately until about 28 days after the follow up to give the bank added tome to add up the figures,” Aturu stated.

This is unbelievable. This is the same man (Godfather) that deprived the good people of Edo state of infrastructural development for almost a decade.
