Oshiomhole Reacts To Buhari’s Speech At National Assembly

Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC), has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s presentation of the 2019 Budget, describing it as “a successful outing.”

Oshiomhole made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) shortly after Buhari presented the budget at the National Assembly in Abuja.

“I think it was done very well and analytically well presented. It covers all the issues.

“It gives account of the previous budget, how it was implemented and why we will have to consolidate going forward. I think it was a successful outing.

“I’m impressed, I’m excited and I pray that the National Assembly will not distort it in a way that will distort the tenet, well-thought out outcome,” he said.

Oshiomhole, while reacting to the rowdiness of the lawmakers, added: “I think the lawmakers generally agreed that the budget was good.

“All the requirements of the law have been met, namely to lay the budget. How the senators behaved thereafter is their privilege.”
