We shouldnt have post budget fight with buhari reps

I understand your sentiment. The post-budget fight between President Muhammadu Buhari and the Representatives in the National Assembly has been a contentious issue in Nigeria. Here are some reasons why it's important to avoid such conflicts:

  1. National interest: The budget is a critical document that affects the entire nation. A prolonged fight over the budget can hinder the implementation of projects and programs that benefit the country as a whole.
  2. Economic stability: The budget is a key tool for economic planning and management. A delay in its passage can lead to uncertainty and instability in the economy, which can have negative consequences for businesses and individuals.
  3. Legislative-executive relations: The post-budget fight can damage the relationship between the legislative and executive arms of government. This can lead to a breakdown in communication and cooperation, making it challenging to pass future budgets and implement policies.
  4. Public trust: The public may lose trust in the government if the budget fight is not resolved amicably. This can lead to a decline in public confidence in the ability of the government to manage the country's affairs effectively.
  5. Development: The budget is a critical tool for development. A prolonged fight over the budget can delay the implementation of projects and programs that are essential for the country's development.

To avoid such conflicts, it's essential to:

  1. Improve communication: The President and the National Assembly should engage in open and transparent communication to resolve their differences and find common ground.
  2. Foster a collaborative spirit: Both the executive and legislative arms of government should work together to find a mutually beneficial solution that serves the national interest.
  3. Prioritize national interest: The President and the National Assembly should put the national interest above their individual interests and work together to pass a budget that benefits the country.
  4. Seek mediation: If necessary, the President and the National Assembly can seek the mediation of other stakeholders, such as the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, or even the National Council of State, to resolve their differences.

By adopting these strategies, we can avoid post-budget fights and ensure that the budget is passed in a timely and peaceful manner, which is essential for the development and prosperity of our country.
