The 2016 Budget drama has taken a dramatic twist as Senate President, Bukola Saraki Thursday said the Upper Chamber has two versions of the budget.
He however said the budget was never missing.
According to him, the version laid before a joint session of the National Assembly on December 22, 2015, by President Muhammadu Buhari, is different from the one submitted by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang.
“We came to a resolution that since we have two versions of the 2016 Budget, we will only accept the one presented by President Buhari.
“The Budget was never missing.
“While the President submitted one, the Special Adviser presented another one.
“Hence the reason for the investigation,” Saraki told Senators during a closed door session on Thursday.
