Former National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, (APC), Chief Adebisi Akande has reacted angrily to the alleged missing 2016 budget in the Nigerian Senate.
According to him, such showed that the upper chamber under the current leadership had no discipline.
Speaking at his residence in Ila-Orangun during an event organized to mark his 77th birthday, Akande wondered how important documents, such as copies of a country’s budget would become subject of controversy.
Senate President Bukola Saraki had accused presidential aide, Ita Enang of circulating a different version of the budget proposal at the national assembly.
But according to Akande, “Nigeria’s budget is a huge document and one wonders how document of that size could be missing in the senate.
“The development is fallout of indiscipline that brought the current leadership of the Senate into the position and as you know, that was not the choice of our party”.
On speculations that President Muhammadu Buhari had marginalised him, the former Osun Governor replied: “I’m in good agreement with President Buhari. Therefore, I don’t feel marginalised.
“In fact, I was in the presidency few days ago and there was no sign to suggest that the presidency wants to edge me out. But I don’t know what somebody may be planning somewhere.”
