• FG to seek judicial interpretation of budget appropriation
• Presidency: Nigerians didn’t elect executive, legislature to fight each other
The Director-General of the Budget Office of the Federation, Ben Akabueze, yesterday, hinted that the Federal Government would “at some point” approach the Supreme Court for a judicial interpretation of appropriation as it relates to budgeting.
Akabueze disclosed this at the third edition of the National Leadership Dialogue Series held virtually. The event brought together government officials and members of the civil society organisation to share perspectives on ‘Rethinking economy: From process to funding, budgeting for whom?’
The DG said the executive arm of government was erroneously bashed over what people perceived as poor budgeting whereas the National Assembly played an active role in the process.

Chairman, Northern Elders’ Forum (NEF), Professor Ango Abdullahi has said the North will not vote along ethnic and faith lines in the 2023 general election.
Speaking as the convener of Northern People’s Summit on Barriers Between the People and Their Leaders yesterday in Kaduna, he said the people of the region had learnt their lesson at a great cost.
“No Northerner should assume that he is guaranteed the support and votes of northerners simply because he is one of them,” he said.
Abdullahi who was represented by Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed said experiences have taught the region the values of critical scrutiny of records, dispositions and empathy.
