  • Executive has implemented 2012 budget- Rep

    The member representing Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Prince Arua Arunsi, has said that the National Assembly passed the 2013 Appropriation Bill because the executive had implemented a large portion of this year’s budget.

    Speaking at his country home during his accountability and outreach programme, Arunsi said that the pressure the honourable members exacted on President Goodluck Jonathan on the need to implement substantial part of the 2012 budget made him to release some funds for capital projects.

    Arunsi said that the implementation of the 2012 budget to a satisfying level was the measuring instrument that the members used to pass the 2013 Appropriation Bill into law, adding that they appropriated what they felt would help to develop the country faster.

    According to him, the House of Representatives members never wanted to impeach the President. “What we really wanted was for the President to sit up and work for the people of Nigeria. We never wanted business as usual and the evidences of what we did are there for all to see.”

    On the issue of President of Igbo extraction in 2015, Arunsi said  it will not be possible this time around and advised his Igbo brothers and sisters to wait for another eight years for it to be possible.

    He said the current President has every right to contest for another term after his first term, stressing that there is nothing stopping him from re-contesting by 2015, “so long as he does his job well to the satisfaction of all and sundry.”

The outgoing president of the Press CDS in Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State handed over to a president for the group.

    Speaking at the ceremony held at Radio Gotel, Yola, the Local Government Inspector, Mr Garba Shendam, admonished the serving youths to rededicate themselves to community service. He stressed the need for continuity in CDS groups, assuring that he would continuously give support to move it forward.

    He said: “CDS is the most interesting part of your service because that is the only place you can interact with the society, interact with the community. So, the group is important. I hope you will continue with the good work of your predecessors because continuity is the keyword.”

    Earlier in his remark, the outgoing president, Abdullateef Aliyu, noted that his executive was able to discharge the mandate of the group. He said: “You will recall that we promised to use our leverage with the sister CDS group in Yola to come up with a more professional publication and to God be the glory, we can say that we have been able to achieve this.”

    Abdullateef urged the incoming executive led by Ajibola Wande-Kayode to keep the flag flying, saying, “we have no doubt in the ability of the present executive to carry on with the noble ideals of the CDS.”

    He praised the management of Gotel Communications for its support and encouragement to Corps members. Responding, Ajibola promised to move the group to the next level.
