2019 Budget Is Built On A Very Shaky Foundation – Atiku
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says the
proposed budget of the Muhammadu Buhari administration for 2019 is built on a
‘shaky foundation’.
He said this in a critique entitled ‘My
Takeaways from Budget 2019’ obtained by Channels Television on
Sunday.
“The proposed budget as presented is
fundamentally flawed,” said the presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP). “It deliberately ignores and fails to address current
realities and pretends, as Mr President asserts, ‘we are on the right
direction.”
He added, “On the contrary, the 2019 budget
is built on a very shaky foundation and makes very generous, often wild
and untenable assumptions which pose significant risks to its implementation.”
President Buhari had presented a budget
proposal of N8.83 trillion for 2019 to a joint session of the National Assembly
on December 19, 2018.
