The Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki said, the Senate received two versions of the 2016 Budget.


He said, “The budget was never missing. While the President submitted one, his Senior Special Assistant, Ita Enang, submitted another. Hence the reason for an investigation!

“Today, the Senate received the report of the ad hoc committee setup to investigate the claims of the ‪missing 2016 Budget.

“The report of the committee revealed that the Senate received two versions of the 2016 Appropriation Bill – one from President Muhammadu Buhari at the December 22nd, 2015 Joint Session of the National Assembly, and another from the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Ita Enang.

“The Senate will only accept the version of the appropriation bill that was presented by the President.”
