The Senate president, Bukola Saraki, has cleared the air on
the ‘missing’ budget.
He informed that ad hoc committee set up to investigate
the claims of the missing 2016 budget proposal reported
that the Senate received two versions of the document
from the Presidency; one directly from President
Muhammadu Buhari and the other from the senior special
assistant to the president on National Assembly matters,
Ita Enang.

submitted by the president will be accepted by the
lawmakers.

We came to a resolution that Since we have 2 versions
of the #2016Budget we will only accept the one
presented by @NGRPresident

The budget was never missing. While the President
submitted one, the Special Adviser presented another
one. Hence reason for investigation

Budget was presented on the last day of office in 2015,
on the 1st day back in 2016, we noticed and
immediately called for an investigation

This new revelation by Saraki is a sharp contrast to an
allegation by the head, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
new media, Adeyanju Deji, who said the president
submitted an empty box to the senators during the budget
presentation last December.
