Reps Divided Over Tinubu’s Plea To Extend 2023 Budget

The request of President Bola Tinubu to extend the 2023 capital component of the 2023 Appropriation Act and the Supplementary Appropriation Act until 31 December, on Thursday, divided the House of Representatives along party lines as opposition lawmakers opposed the extension.

GWG.ng reports that President Tinubu is seeking the extension of the two budgets until 31 December to allow for the full implementation of the law.

However, the opposition to the president’s request forced the lawmakers into an executive session amid loud booing from members of the opposition parties.

The rowdy reactions from the Reps caused the Speaker, Abbas Tajudeen, to lose control over the session.
