Senior Special Assistant to President
Buhari on Media and Publicity, Shehu
Garba has asked Nigerians to direct all
their questions about the missing soft
and hard copies of the 2016 budget to
the National Assembly. According to
Garba, nobody can withdraw the
budget from the National Assembly
except President Buhari.

Senator Ali Ndume had announced to
his colleagues during plenary today
that the budget was missing.

“Nobody, except the president, can
withdraw the budget. As far as we
know, he (the president) has not done
that. The copies in their hundreds
have been delivered to both
chambers of the National Assembly.

By tradition, once the budget is
submitted, it ceases to be our
property. Enquiries as to where it is
should be directed to the appropriate
quarters”, Shehu said.
