Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, will no longer sign the 2017 budget Today 1st June, after reports filtered into the media Wednesday afternoon that the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara had been invited by the Presidency for the Budget Signing by 9.00AM today, Thursday.
​
The news for the budget signing was break on Wednesday afternoon following details from a top National Assembly source who disclosed that the budget was due to be signed on Thursday and that the presiding officers of the national assembly had been invited to witness the exercise.
But in a dramatic twist, the presidency made a last-minute cancellation of the exercise, Wednesday evening.

A top Presidency source informed media house that, the Budget Signing was frustrated by the power cabal within the Aso Rock presidency, loyal to ailing President Muhammadu Buhari.

The source disclosed that, the cabal blocked the Budget Signing based on claims that President Buhari was returning from his sick leave next week.

“The cabal in charge of Aso Rock has spoken and whenever they speak, it is final.

The leaders of the National Assembly had been already invited but the cabal insisted that it will not happen. According to them,” there is no need to hurriedly sign the budget because President Buhari is returning to Nigeria next week”.

The Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo has been put in a tight corner where he does not want to be seen as making too much effort to usurp the powers of President Buhari. So he backed down from signing the budget without a fight.

Recall that there had been a controversy over whether Osinbajo would sign the budget or not. But his aide Laolu Akande, said he would do so when he is satisfied with it.
The National Assembly passed the budget on 11th May 2017, and it was transmitted to the presidency on 18th May 2017.

'The will of God' will never come to pass if we all keep folding our hands without action.

If your gist is authentic and PMB doesnt return by next week, then Professor Yemi Osinbajo will sign the budget into law whether the cabal like it or not.

Osibanjo will sign the budget, whether cabal likes it or not.... they can't hold Nigeria to ransom

why should it b signed when those thieves in d national assembly inflated d budget with some silly expenditures

durun uwarsu

if we yarn for our Biafra,,, afonjas we start crying mad.. see there cake ,dem no wan fight for there right.

U see why i will not blame the IPOB too mush, those hausas/fulanis forgot that Nigeria belongs to all of us.

Which one is naijahq.com again?

I blame the self acclaimed "educated" yorubas
For allowing an illiterate to deceive them and get into power through them... SMH.

welll what else do u expect.... dem Neva add their own corrupt budget.... may God Save this country

so even if pmb shld come on a stretcher he will still sign d budget ? funny cows in d sit of power . God's will must be don . osibanjo(a blessed hand) will sign d budget

.

Hmmmm

The authenticity of this news is highly debatable.

Are these guys crazy or what? Y is Prof Osinbajo even taking it calmly with them, this government is such a joke

...I guess the title 'Co-ordinator' bestowed on Osibanjo is coming to play here....i am not bothered at all.

unreliable source

Faith without work is dead.

Osibanjo does not have to sign the budget. He is only an acting and if the president is coming back next week, what is the noise about Osibanjo signing any budget or is there anything behind it?

Billyonaire:
Faith without work is dead.

Sir, how can I chat with you privately? What I wanna talk about is not for public consumption

Billyonaire:
Faith without work is dead.

Really dead

.

This country has really been hijacked and the most painful part being, there is nothing we can do. In all honesty, How is Buhari going to append to the budget without studying? That man can't even read a full sentence and understand it.. What the hell is going in this country? Damn!!

Let's just wait till next week..if pmb doesn't return den I doubt they can stop osinbajo from signing the budget..
The drama for 9ja politics too much
