Faleke told reporters at the APC national secretariat that the various committees in the House have completed their work on the budget and submitted their report, adding that the delay in the passage of the budget was because the National Assembly wants to do a thorough work on the document. He said: “The budget process takes some time. Unlike what we had before, where you talk about budget padding or no padding, what the National Assembly tried to do this time is to do the needful once and for all with the budget details being submitted. The budget is ready, only to be considered on the floor probably this week, as all committees have finished their work. “It is not about delay but doing things right. If we hurriedly do it and get things wrong, Nigerians will condemn us. It is about doing things right. “It is true that the party will be two years old by May 29 and I can tell you sincerely that the country has moved forward from what we used to have. Don’t forget that during the last regime, things had almost collapsed and an economy that has collapsed is not easy to reform overnight and I think that what the President has done in the last two years is to have taken time to reform the economy, which is now yielding fruits. “I think if the price of crude oil had not dropped, maybe things would have been better off by now. In terms of security, we have done a lot, in terms of reorganising our income, especially as regards what the Federal Government gets in terms of revenue, I’m sure you will agree that we have done a lot. “In terms of blocking loopholes and fighting corruption, you know that we have done a lot. You cannot imagine how much has been recovered from individuals. If that system had continued till now, this country would have collapsed and I want to give kudos to the President for having done that. “There are still areas for improvement. Nigerians should just be patient and see the last two years of this government.” Faleke, however, refused to speak on the crisis rocking the party in Kogi State. ]]>
