As earlier reported on the proposed meeting between the leadership of the House of Representatives led by Honourable Aminu Tambuwal and the PDP BoT members, information reaching us shows that the meeting helped to bring to light the perceived hostility between the House and the executive arm of government with claim that some of his ministers had hijacked government from President Goodluck Jonathan.
Our sources at the closed door meeting told journalists that the meeting was centered around resolving the rekindled disagreement between the executive and the legislative on the proposed amendment to 2013 Appropriation Act.
It was gathered that the closed door meeting was a frank on holds bar meeting with House leadership pointedly telling their guests that some ministers have hijacked the running of government from the President and members of the house did not miss words when they specifically mentioned the name of the Coordinating Minister of Economy and Minister of Finance, Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who they claimed was responsible for the impasse over the proposed amendment to 2013 Appropriation Act.
It was learnt that the House leadership told Chief Anenih led BoT that in the covering letter sent to the House on the proposed amendment to 2013 Appropriation Act, only four items were mentioned by the President for amendment.
The House leadership it was gathered told the PDP BoT members that to their surprise when the Budget Office under the supervision of Minister of Finance sent the copies of the proposed amendment to 2013 Appropriation Act, three bulky volumes of document as the proposed amendment.
Sources at the meeting however disclosed that at the end of the meeting Chief Anenih called for caution and promised to meet with the President on issues raised by the PDP leaders in the House.
Chief Anenih was also said to have impressed it on Honourable Tambuwal and his lieutenants to join hand with the leadership of the party as 2015 election is approaching.
Tambuwal will do anything to ensure that the present government did not succeed because of his presidential ambition in APC. The Minister of Finance, as a thoroughbred professional will not allow looters in the House to have a field day. that is why they are angry.
