Minister of Information and Culture,Lai Mohammed has debunked reports which claimed that he said FG FG Doesn’t Know Who Will Sign 2017 Budget.
Reacting to reports, Lai as he is popularly called said through a statement by his aide,Segun Adeyemi there has been a misrepresentation of what he said at the post Federal Executive Council Meeting press briefing on Wednesday, 17 May 2017.
The statement said “Our attention has been drawn to a story in a section of the media
quoting the Honourable Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, as saying ”we don’t know who will sign the 2017 budget”.
“This quote is a malicious misrepresentation of what transpired at the post-Federal Executive Council Meeting press briefing on Wednesday, 17 May 2017.
“When the Minister was asked a question relating to the signing of the 2017 Budget, his response was: ”When it is transmitted to the Presidency, the issue will be addressed.”
“Anything beyond that response amounts to deliberate mischief and should be ignored.17 May 2017”
