More reactions on the budget as the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) condemned the rendition of President Bola Tinubu’s campaign tune on the floor of the national assembly during the presentation of the 2024 budget.

After his presentation, lawmakers stood up as a symbol of respect, but the band was heard playing a popular song, his supporters’ anthem, during his campaign in the build-up to the election.

In a statement, the opposition party described the incident as an extremely sacrilegious and unpardonable assault by President Tinubu and his handlers on the sensibility and constitutional sovereignty of the Nigerian people as represented by the National Assembly.

It noted that the National Assembly is the symbol of the collective sovereignty of the Nigerian people, which cannot be appropriated by or surrendered to any individual under any guise or circumstance whatsoever.

The PDP also described the N27.5 trillion budget, as proposed by President Tinubu, as deceitful, strangulating, and hopeless.

Ologunagba declared that the budget is predicated and expected to be funded by multilateral and bilateral foreign loans and increased taxes on Nigerians.
