Ex Senate President 'Nnamani' Speaks After Meeting President Buhari Over 2016 Budget

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday held a closed door meeting with former Senate President, Ken Nnamani and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Bello Masari.


Speaking after the meeting, Nnamani, said what he suggested to President Buhari stands to reason and a good way out of the Budget impasse.

“The issue on budget, well budget is an area where we practice what we call co-management between the National Assembly and the executive branch of government, both of them co-manage the economy through the budget its a peculiar area, both of them will have to cooperate and collaborate for a proper budget to be passed and once it is passed, it becomes law.

“So as it stands today the situation is such that the National Assembly has to do what is called introspection, how did we get to where we are now, the year is running out and we are still talking about 2016 budget, where is the fault from?

“Wherever it is coming from, both the executive branch and the legislature must find a quick solution to it. It does nobody good to drag it any longer, remember it is an area of co-management, it is not left to the executive alone, it is not left to the National Assembly alone, there has to be collaboration.

“I think he stands to reason, what I suggested is being studied, I think it is appropriate.” He added

“You know I am now am executive and I signed budget for Kastina state and before I did that I made sure I knew what I am signing for. So take it as I said.” He said when quizzed whether he'd advice Buhari to sign the budget.
