CHAIRMAN, Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology, Senator Bukola Saraki, PDP, Kwara, yesterday, said that if President Goodluck Jonathan cannot sign the 2013 budget as passed by the National Assembly into law, he should return it to the lawmakers.
The former governor of Kwara State said Nigerians who were eager to have the budget signed and implemented were running out of time.
Saraki’s call is coming on the heels of the end of the mandatory thirty days for the National Assembly to veto presidency over a Bill that has been passed for presidential assent.
Answering questions from jounalists in Abuja, Senator Saraki said: “Time is running out for the budget to be signed into law; otherwise, the gains for passing the Budget would be lost. I don’t want to speculate on issues with the budget. There is now urgency for the presidency to sign the budget into law or return it to the National Assembly for further necessary legislative action.”
