It emerged yesterday that there were two versions of the 2016 budget in the National Assembly. Senate President, Bukola Saraki revealed this on Thursday, saying that the senate received a different version of the budget from Ita Enang, Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly, other than the one Buhari himself presented on December 22, 2015.
It therefore threw up allegations that Enang must have doctored the document. But Enang has refused to respond directly to the allegation.
Saraki had said: “What he distributed is different from what was presented by Mr. President and we have resolved not to address any version until we receive the version presented by Mr. President”
Enang, in his reaction, told Premium Times on Thursday that the matter was too “sensitive” for him to talk about.
He said:
“I do not want to comment on the matter at the moment. It is a very sensitive matter involving two of my bosses – the National Assembly and Presidency. I don’t want to talk about them.”
