Nyesom Wike highlights the importance of strong relations between the executive and legislature for efficient budget processes.
The Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, has emphasized the need for cordial relations. He stresses the need for collaboration between the executive and the legislature. He believes these relations are critical. They ensure the speedy presentation and passage of budgets.
Wike has recalled that in his tenure as governor of Rivers State, he enjoyed a harmonious working relationship. This relationship was with the State House of Assembly under the leadership of Rt Hon. Ikuinyi Ibani Owaji, a development he said facilitated prompt budget presentations and approvals.

These investigations were into the alleged failure of the governor to present Appropriation Bills to the State House of Assembly. This occurred amid a lingering political crisis.
