Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has accused the Federal Government of allegedly overseeing the fabrication of laws following the 2026 national budget presentation.

In a statement titled “Migrating from Padded Budgets to Forged Laws,” posted on his X handle on Saturday, Obi warned that the move endangers constitutional governance and erodes public trust.

Obi alleged that there were discrepancies between documents passed by the National Assembly and those eventually published and enforced by the executive.

According to him, the country’s national shame continues to unfold, evident in the decisions made by leaders, even at the highest levels of government.

President Bola Tinubu on Friday presented the 2026 budget proposal before a joint session of the National Assembly.
