The Presidency has reacted to the
rowdy session caused by lawmakers during President Muhammadu Buhari’s
presentation of 2019 budget at the National Assembly.
Buhari on Wednesday, while
highlighting successes of his administration, was booed and hailed by
lawmakers.
Their actions has since stirred
reactions online.
The Senior Special Assistant to
the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang,
addressing journalists after the rowdy session said such actions by lawmakers
was unsurprising.
Enang said lawmakers and Senators
who lost tickets to contest in 2019 elections are responsible for attack at
President Buhari.
According to him, such is
expected ahead of 2019 election.
Enang said, “This is the year of
election. This is the year when members have lost nominations by their
political parties. This is the year when many members have changed their
political parties.
“We are going for elections, and
any year you have elections, sometimes you see a president saying ‘I am sending
the budget, I don’t want to go and face the heat of the people who lost
nominations.’
“But he didn’t do that. He said
‘I am the President of the Federal Republic. I will go and address them, and
perform my constitutional duty.’”
Recall that
lawmakers booed the President as he highlighted some of the successes so far
recorded by his administration.
The actions of the lawmaker made
the President to remind the aggrieved lawmakers that, “The world is watching us
and we are supposed to be above this.”
While some sang solidarity songs,
other shouted ‘lies’ after every of Mr Buhari’s claims.
