The federal government, on Thursday, reacted to criticism of the N2.7 trillion supplementary budget signed on Wednesday by President Bola Tinubu, insisting that the budget was not insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.
There had been widespread criticism of the budget, with many raising eyebrows over huge sums earmarked for vehicles for the first lady’s office and a “presidential yacht”.
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25, 2023 election, Peter Obi, in a series of posts on X on Wednesday, while joining the debate, said it appeared that the federal government was not aware that there was a “huge crisis” across different sectors in the country.
