We passed the budget for 2022, a budget for consolidation of what we have been able to achieve in 2020, when we had an implementation of 100 percent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe year 2021 has just finished \u2014 another 100 percent implementation of budget \u2014 and we\u2019re looking forward to ensuring that the 2022 budget is also implemented by 100 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we stabilise our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/05\/01\/sanwo-olu-nigerian-workers-are-lifeblood-of-the-economy\/\">economy<\/a>, we stabilise our country, then people can contest. But for now, everything is speculative and I believe that God, in His infinite mercy, will show us the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawan also spoke on the achievements of the present administration, adding that despite the challenges with the COVID pandemic, the country is on the right path to development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, we are happy to say that we\u2019re still making progress, but would have done far better if we hadn\u2019t had the COVID interruption,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I believe that as a nation, we are moving in the right direction and President Muhammadu Buhari is giving us the leadership that we need and all that we need to do is to continue to support our leaders, continue to support our government and it\u2019s in the best interest of everyone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet no politics, let no partisanship, let no sentiments derail any of our programmes and projects because you need to have a Nigeria first if you are running to take over government at whatever level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to have a country; you need to have a stable country; you need to have a peaceful country in the first place, and if you do that, you can contest, for example.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as individuals, we have a date with a history. How much do we give to our nation? How much do we sacrifice for the sake of others in our communities and in our country? That determines a lot how far we can go, because if we decide to be selfish, then I\u2019m sorry, we may not make that kind of progress that we believe can take us to the El dorado.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahmed Lawan, President of the senate has stated that reports on if he will contest the presidency in the 2023 general election are &#8220;speculative&#8221;.
