” I repeat, the Calabar-Lagos rail line was never in any versions of the 2016 budget. And we have told Amaechi, to produce his version of the budget; the line and head that captured the Calabar-Lagos rail line. This is the third day, and he is still looking for it. There were a lot of errors in the budget which we fixed. For instance, the appropriation for the EFCC building was increased from N1 billion to N6 billion Naira. The East-West road was technically abandoned, and we increased funding for it.
How can Amaechi be ranting, that he single handedly sponsored Mr. President. Is that what the budget means to him? He said he is diligent, and not corrupt, yet his ministry’s budget was over blown by N54 billion Naira. Nigerians should stand with the National Assembly, and stop anyone who wants to pitch the National Assembly against the President. We did a good job! ”
