2019 Budget: You’re Minority, Resign Now, Akpabio Tells Saraki And Dogara

Amidst the pandemonium that greeted the just concluded 2019 budget presentation at the National Assembly, Senator Godswill Akpabio (APC, Akwa Ibom) has called on the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and House of Reps. Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, to resign.
Briefing newsmen at the National Assembly complex shortly after the rowdy budget presentation, Akpabio described the presiding officers as minority leaders who should do the needful and resign.
“Yes, they couldn’t talk because they are minority leaders. They are not even supposed to talk in the first place. They should therefore do the needful and resign honourably or face being booted out of office,” Akpabio told journalists.
Akpabio, a former Senate Minority Leader, who some months back defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said the presiding officers are undeserving of their positions.
Recall that Buhari a while ago presented the N8.8 trillion 2019 budget proposal before a joint session of the National Assembly amidst tensions. The rowdy session saw APC and PDP lawmakers locked in shouting match at the House of Representatives venue of the presentation.

Fact remains that Mr President was a guest of the house. Politics apart, in a civilized society Saraki and Dogara should have protect Mr President from any attack. Both leaders does not deserved the positions as Senate President & House Speaker.

The President has divided the house with politics whereas governance should be above politics.This is just one result.Akpabio has become a stormy petrel,Udume and Omoagege hide not of doing his job.Who are they representing.A father that treat his children with preference must prepare for dispute.

The media has a big role to play here , I’m still waiting for a media house that will bring the facts of alll that has been said on projects execution by this government. All that the president said can only be verified if only the media will help us out by bringing the facts to live. Both d executives and legislature ‘re not truths worthy enough . Just look at the people will call leaders , what a shame .
