Ex-Reps member flays National Assembly over N37bn budget for renovation

A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu has flayed the National Assembly over the N37 billion budgeted for the renovation of the National Assembly complex.

Adebutu, a two-term member of the National Assembly, while fielding questions from newsmen during the End of the Year party organised for members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Abeokuta, on Monday, said the present National Assembly is a “department of the All Progressives Congress”.

He also said the National Assembly under the leadership of Senator Ahmed Lawan and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has become ” an appendage of an inept administration of General Muhammadu Buhari.”

“As a former member of the National Assembly, I find it difficult to malign the institution. But I must say very sadly, that the National Assembly as brilliantly constituted is an appendage of the inept government of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“It (National Assembly) is a department of APC. A rubber stamp Assembly ultimately fails and has started failing,” he said.

He also described the debt profile of the country, as a big burden on the masses, saying the nation in the last five years had owed more than what it had owed throughout its life span.
