TVC E. What do you think about this ? Hon Femi Gbajabiamila said, civil servants should be held accountable for the controversies surrounding the budget rather than President Muhammadu Buhari.“I’m going to absolve the president, but I’m not going to absolve the people that put it in. Why I absolved the president, I will tell you.”
“The job was done by civil servants, it has always been done by them. The president does not sit in a ministry, he doesn’t know what’s going on there or what they need or do not need.
“The argument will be that the buck stops at his desk and he must take responsibility, I agree with that. But the point is that he delegated responsibilities. Under the constitution, he has the right to delegate his work to ministers. And he delegated the issue of budget and planning to the minister of budget and planning,” Gbajabiamila said.
In January, Gbajabiamila tweeted saying the 2016 budget was historic for many factors, such as how it deals with capital expenditure and is about constitution and social intervention.
