Budget ‘not run to Nigerians’ benefit ’
The House of Representatives launched yesterday a defence of its decision to begin impeachment proceedings against President Goodluck Jonathan if the budget is not fully implemented by September.
The lawmakers said they were not unaware of the comments as well as what they described as the deliberate plan by the Presidency to misinform the public on the rationale behind their “nationalistic stand”.
House spokesman Zakari Mohammed, in a statement in Abuja yesterday, said the lawmakers’ decision was informed by the fact that the growth in the economy has not reflected in the well-being of Nigerians.
