The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Mr Peter Obi, has described the inclusion of a presidential yacht and provisions for the office of the First Lady, in the 2023 Supplementary Budget as an aberration.
His words: “Supplementary budget is meant for very important national welfare needs of the people that are not captured originally in the budget or do not have adequate funding. The United Nations has warned in the past week that 26.5 million Nigerians will go hungry next year. This is an issue of national importance that can go into a supplementary budget.
Obi explained that the huge amount being spent on the vehicles for federal lawmakers was unnecessary.
