The governor, said it was now obvious that the President and
his All Progressives Congress, APC, only wanted power desperately without the
wherewithal to govern, adding that; “I warned Nigerians of the consequences of
electing an octogenarian as president and with the international embarrassment
that this budget crisis has become, I have been vindicated.”
According to a statement issued yesterday by his Special
Assistant on Pubic Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor
said; “It is obvious that there is total disconnect between the President and
his cabinet members as many of the ministers don’t even have access to him
probably because the President spends most of his time resting as a result of
his old age.
“The reality is that the President is challenged by age,
exposure and ability. He did not read the budget proposal he presented to the
National Assembly and this should be a lesson for those who clamoured for a
Buhari’s presidency that no man can give what he does not have.
“The question is; can a minister present supplementary
budget to the National Assembly and can the National Assembly act on budget proposal
submitted by a minister? It is shameful that after blaming former President
Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for close to one year,
the presidency is now blaming the National Assembly for its inability to
prepare a common budget.” The governor commended the National Assembly for
exposing the lies of the presidency, saying it was shameful that President
Buhari and his men could blame the National Assembly for their incompetence.
