We Will Not Allow Buhari To Be Disgraced – Dogara
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Yakubu Dogara, has said lawmakers will not
allow President Muhammadu Buhari to be
humiliated, in the going deliberations over
the 2017 proposed budget.
Dogara stated this while addressing a round-
table on the N7.29trillion budget proposal,
organised by the All Progressives Congress,
APC Governors in Abuja on Monday.
“I must say that the APC as the party with
majority in the National Assembly will not
allow Mr. President and the APC as the ruling
political party to be humiliated or defeated
on its budget priorities as we are all part of
the same government,” he said.
Dogara also insisted they were very sensitive
about constituency matters irrespective of
party affiliation.
“It is however, important to stress that on
budget matters members of the National
Assembly tend to be very sensitive to their
constituency representational functions,
irrespective of party,” he said.
He promised that the passage and
implementation of the budget would be
transparent.
