Mohammadu Buhari  (punch)

The Senate, on Thursday, April 21, 2016, reached a resolution to convince President Muhammadu Buharito sign the 2016 budget.

According to The Guardian, the legislators came to the agreement after holding a rowdy session.

They also reportedly plan to tell that president that after he signs the budget, he can submit an amendment proposal to correct any errors noticed.

“We have seen the president already on the budget. In fact, meeting the president by the Senate leadership is not a big deal,” Senate Leader, Ali Ndume said.

“It is not true that the budget had been sent back to the National Assembly. I am also not aware that there is any communication from the president on the issue.

What I know is that areas of concern to the presidency are now with us here. We are talking with the presidency to resolve all the issues,” he added.

Earlier reports suggested that Buhari had sent the budget back to the National Assembly due to some details which were not satisfactory to him.

This is to inform everyone interested in getting a pume form at OOU that the for is out

Ben Murray-Bruce

The senator representing Bayelsa East senatorial district, Ben Murray-Bruce, on Wednesday said he would not accept any SUV from the Senate.

He made this statement in a tweet while reacting to the decision of the Senate to buy 36 Sport Utility Vehicles for its members.

He said, ” For the avoidance of doubt, I did not and will not accept any SUV. The only SUV, I, Ben Murray-Bruce will accept is a made in Nigeria car.”

Some of his followers however reacted differently to the post. While some supported him, some attacked him.

A user Oluseyi Odus (@Richard_Oluseyi) said, “@benmurraybruce, But where were u when they are making request for the 36 SUV or u are no more vibrant in the house anymore?”

There are indications the  candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Saturday’s governorship election in Kogi, Abubakar Audu, may not have died as a result of the news of the declaration of Saturday’s election as inconclusive.
This newspaper learnt that Mr. Audu’s health problem started on Saturday evening.

A relative told Livegood247.blogspot.com his problem started when he complained of stomach cramps on Saturday.
“He suffered a stroke this morning,” the source told livegood247.blogspot.com
“Another one occurred this afternoon and that was fatal.”
A close friend and close associate of the late politician had confirmed his passing to livegood247.blogspot.com
“Audu is gone,” the distraught associate, who requested not to be named, told our reporter on the telephone.
Though too shattered to provide details of the politician’s passing, he confirmed he was in the candidate’s company when he passed on.
The source said the former governor suddenly took ill and was being rushed to Abuja preparatory to being flown abroad when he passed on.

Mr. Audu’s son, Mustapha is not answering or returning calls and so were all the other close family members we tried to contact.
One of his media aides, Phillip Obin, also did not answer or return calls.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared the Saturday governorship election inconclusive, but Mr. Audu was in a pole position to be declared winner eventually.

Late politician to be buried Monday
Family members, friends, associates and sympathisers have thronged the residence of Abubakar Audu, in his hometown, Ogbonicha, in Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
A family source told our correspondent that many people had gathered in his family home weeping over the sudden passing away of the APC governorship candidate.

“I am aware that right now so many people have gathered in his house and they are weeping seriously,” the source who would not want to be named, said.
“As a Muslim he would be buried at 10 am tomorrow morning.”
Relatives and associates have also gathered at his residence in the GRA area of Lokoja, the Kogi state capital.

Our reporter, who visited, saw some mourners weeping uncontrollably.
Sympathisers had started gathering at the residence some hours ago anxious to confirm news of the politician’s death.
A supporter of the politician said news of the sudden illness, and later death, of Mr. Audu stalled celebration at his residence Saturday afternoon.

“As we were preparing for the celebration (of his victory at the election) and awaiting Prince Audu, one politician came and said we should stop drumming,” the supporter said.
