He said he was at a loss as to how a budget that set out with N1.8billion for capital expenditure targeted on critical infrastructure can be classified as reckless or deceitful by PDP's thinking.
“Neither PDP nor their spokesman, Olisa Metuh read the Mr President's budget address before dishing out their tantrum,” he stated. “While one acknowledges criticism from the opposition, the best tradition requires that criticism should be constructive.”
While reacting to the budget address on Tuesday, PDp's Metuh described it as a “big fraud”.
Okechukwu pointed out that President Buhari clearly stated he would fund the capital expenditures through loans. Given Buhari’s high global rating, he has no doubt that he will be able to raise the cash.
“One is of the considered view that the PDP has not come to terms with the effect that the unbridled corruption and squandermania of former President Goodluck Jonathan did to the development of our country,” Mr. Okechukwu said.
“PDP forgot that the billions it squandered via unbridled corruption and awful leakages made it impossible for the Party to provide critical infrastructure in the last 16 years to Nigerians. Transparency and accountability are the key to the implementation of Buhari's budget of change.
"History is a witness to what prudent administration can achieve with little resource," he stressed.
