This cannot be farther from the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The presidency said after the budget signing ceremony, Ahmad Lawan, senate president, had said disagreements such as the ones listed by the president were normal in the executive-parliamentary relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we note that there are people who are trying to create a fiasco between the two arms of government on account of the budget, we assure that they will, in the end, be disappointed,\u201d Shehu said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Executive and the 9th National Assembly have since moved away from the wild, destructive political games of the past, conducting themselves in a way that puts national interest supreme in their decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe doubt if there is a patriotic citizen who wants to see the return of the operating environment engendered by the 8th Senate when an elected government was held in chains, held hostage to the desperate political ambitions of a clique, and the public denied needed services including that which impinged on national security. Happily, the 9th <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/12\/28\/breaking-national-assembly-transmits-2022-budget-to-buhari-for-assent\/\">National Assembly<\/a> is more about policy than politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder the constitution, both arms of government are coequal and at the same time, independent and interdependent. The rule of the game is cooperation and the President, as a democrat fully accepts this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Explaining the president\u2019s rationale for assenting to the 2022 appropriation bill despite the alterations, the presidency emphasised the need to save value-adding projects, programmes and policies.<\/p>\n<p>Shehu added that although over 10,733 projects were reduced and 6,576 new projects were introduced into the budget by the national assembly, there are tens of thousands of more provisions in the budget which will have significant developmental impact on the lives of ordinary Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven Mr. President\u2019s commitment to improving the lot of the Common Man, it was felt that it would not be wise to throw away the baby with the bathwater. Ongoing Capital Projects, Critical Recurrent Votes, Priority New Projects \u2013 all feature in the 2022 Budget and Mr. President\u2019s forbearance in assenting to the Budget will save these provisions from implementation delays and other challenges,\u201d the statement adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Buhari is a democrat who deeply believes in the supremacy of the Constitution, with its checks and balances across the three arms of Government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of the passage of legislations like the Appropriation Act and other Money Bills, the National Assembly has equal responsibilities with the Executive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, if Mr. President had declined assent to the 2022 Appropriation Bill, the National Assembly has powers to override the President\u2019s veto if they can drum up a 2\/3 majority vote.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The presidency has disclosed that there are no issues between President Muhammadu Buhari with the national assembly over alterations in the recently signed 2022 budget.
