Here’s what Senator Adokwe said about President Buhari and the budget:
“The President is too arrogant, we gave him the appropriation bill and he refused to sign it into law but there is no problem, if he refuses to sign it into law we can veto it and the highest he can do is not to implement it which will throw us into another constitutional crisis because we will say he is breaching a law that has been passed.

Series of successive executive governments have falsely promised Nigerians that they would revamp the refineries but ended up making it a dream.
Senator Adokwe also defended the SUV jeep bought by the senate for senators, he believes the matter should not be a controversial one.
