OrderPaperToday – The Senate Committee on Appropriation on Tuesday, submitted the report on the 2016 budget to the plenary.
Chairman of the Committee, Danjuma Goje laid the report at the upper chamber for commencement of consideration and passage.
it would be recalled that the date for passage of the 2016 budget had been shifted twice by the upper legislative chamber.
The first timeline was February 25 but was reneged upon due to allegations of errors and padding which the senate said was noticed in the budget and would require more time to clean up the document.
The Senate also reneged on its March 17 date for passage on the ground that the budget report was undergoing “data cleansing” to ensure that there were no errors.
However, after receiving the report, the senate observed a minute silence in honour of a late member of the House of Representatives, Musa Onwana (APC Nasarawa/Totto) who died on Thursday March 17.

The senate thereafter adjourned plenary in honor of the late lawmaker in line with the tradition of the National Assembly.
The National Assembly has only Wednesday and Thursday to consider and pass the budget before embarking on break for the Easter celebration.

Benue state House of Assembly speaker refused to swear in a duly elected member that won his primary election but was replaced by some cabals that never meant well for my people. The rightful winner went to court and won his case from Federal High court to appeal. And was issued a certificate of return by INEC. Thus voided the hitherto issued to the wrong candidate. INEC officially wrote to the speaker of BSHA stating that Mr ire Matthew’s certificate has being nullified, thus Hon. Mike Adegwu Igbo should be sworn in as the member BSHA representing Oju 2 state constituency. Sadly, after receiving the letter, the speaker keep sealed lips till today and refuses to adhere to court ruling and INEC order all because the innocent man has no gods father’s and no money to buy his way.
Pls I want good spirited citizens of this country to take up this case till the speaker complies.
