2025 Budget: Reps in rowdy session over move to summon FG
The House of Representatives descended into a heated session on Wednesday following disagreements among lawmakers over a motion seeking to invite President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to explain the implementation of the 2025 budget.
The tension began during plenary when the member representing Okpe/Sapele/Uvwie Federal Constituency of Delta State, Benedict Etanabene, raised a point of privilege.
He drew the attention of the House to a circular issued by the Accountant-General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi, dated June 29, which he said required urgent legislative attention.
The development sparked sharp exchanges among lawmakers, resulting in a rowdy session as members differed on whether the President should be summoned over issues relating to the execution of the 2025 budget.
The circular directed all federal ministries, departments and agencies to stop processing payments for constituency and zonal intervention projects unless such projects had been vetted by the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs.
Etanabene asked the House to invite Tinubu to explain the delay in the implementation of the 2025 budget, warning that the circular would further frustrate the execution of the Appropriation Act.
