Presidency Washes Hands Off The Alleged Missing Budget

Nigeria Presidency has washed its hands off the alleged disappearance of the copy of the 2016 federal budget from the National Assembly.
Report was all over the place early in the day that the 2016 budget, which President Muhammadu Buhari presented to the joint session of the National Assembly last month had disappeared, as a result of which insinuation was made that it was the Presidency that withdrew it.
Reacting, senior special assistant to the President on media and publicity, Garba Shehu admitted that nobody except the President that has the power to withdraw the budget.
“As far as we know, he hasn’t done that. The copies in their hundreds have been delivered to both chambers of the National Assembly.
“By tradition, once the budget is submitted, it ceases to be our property. Enquiries as to where it is should be directed to the appropriate quarters.” [myad]
