As the controversy over the missing 2016 budget intensifies, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has added a new twist to the saga. The PDP has described as shameful and an international embarrassment the declaration by the Senate that the hard copy of the 2016 budget presented to the National Assembly, NASS, by the Presidency was missing.
As a result, the party has asked the National Assembly to immediately commence impeachment process of President Muhammadu Buhari.
This was made public in a statement, yesterday, by PDP’s Acting National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus.
The statement reads: “The National Working Committee of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, rose from a meeting Thursday (yesterday) charging the National Assembly to commence impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari for the various constitutional breaches, especially the submission of two versions of the 2006 budget.
“The party said the National Assembly should thoroughly investigate the shameful act, including the distortion and banding of figures to accommodate their personal interest and ensure that appropriate sanctions is meted to whoever has a hand in the dubious action that has brought embarrassment to the legislative body."
