President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the 2022 budget
won’t fail but will accomplish the purpose for which it was passed because the
National Assembly is led by trusted members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Buhari, who said this while speaking on Channels Television
on Wednesday, expressed confidence that this year’s budget will succeed.
Recall that following the President’s assent to the 2022
budget, there were reports of friction between the presidency and the
parliament.
Buhari had expressed strong reservations on the “worrisome
changes” made by the National Assembly to the 2022 Executive Budget proposal.
When asked if he is afraid that the budget might not be able
to achieve its purpose, Buhari replied, “No! Not at all.
“My confidence that we can successfully implement the budget
is because, in both houses, the party is leading.
“It’s APC party and the leadership; look at the Senate
President, he was in the House of Reps for two or three terms before he went to
the Senate.
“Look at Femi Gbajabiamila, I was watching on the
television, when he was an ordinary member, he was always on his seat fighting
for the party and the system we believe in.
“Really, I consider myself lucky. My party and their
competent leadership are both leading in the Senate and House of
Representatives.”
“That is why you don’t hear much about me, I allow them to
do all the things because I can’t go against my party and I can’t go against
people I have absolute confidence in. I know they are doing their best,” Buhari
added.
