There was a mild drama on the floor of the house on Thursday as some members tonguelashed
President Umar Yar’Adua over what they called non implementation of the 2008 budget as
passed by the National Assembly.

The chairman of the house committee on Finance Rep. John Enoh told the hinted the house that
the president had directed ministries and parastatals to disregard the disputed version of the
budget which the president eventually signed into law.

The lawmaker also informed his colleagues that a letter was intercepted ordering the ministers to
stick to the president’s version of the budget adding that the president’s action amount to breach
of the constitution which he said was impeachable offence.

Enoh said ‘I was privileged to be at a meeting where we agreed that the budget should be passed
before we make amendments later, but more than one month after the passage of the budget,
there has been various attempts by the executive, especially the Ministry of Finance is going
ahead to sideline key subheads in the budget.
The house later collapsed into executive session and resolved to summon the minister of finance
over the budget.
