‘Uncaring and Insensitive’, Peter Obi Faults Tinubu’s Signing Of 2023 Supplementary Budget of N2.1trn
Peter Obi has faulted the 2023 supplementary budget, saying it is a proof that the federal government is uncaring and insensitive towards the needs of the masses. Obi lamented that the budget failed to capture the “pressing national needs and emergencies” in the country.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday, November 8, signed the 2023 supplementary appropriation bill of N2.17 trillion into law and moments after, Peter Obi took to social media to criticise the financial plan. Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the February 2023 election, was not impressed with the Supplementary Budget.
He said he expected that a supplementary budget this late in the financial year would reflect mostly urgent items of national welfare — but the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration’s budget didn’t, according to him.
Obi wrote on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, November 8;
Observations on the Supplementary Budget:
A supplementary budget is a budget made for very important national welfare needs of the people which were not captured originally in the main budget, or do not have adequate funding.
