BICKERING LAWMAKERS! Buhari whisked away as Saraki, Dogara abort speeches during 2019 budget presentation [Video]
President Muhammadu Buhari was on Wednesday whisked away from the National Assembly complex after the session turned rowdy.
The president was at the Senate to present the 2019 Appropriation Bill to the lawmakers. However, as soon as he concluded his speech, the session turned rowdy while APC lawmakers chanted ‘four more years,’ their PDP counterparts screamed, ‘no more years.’
After more than 10 minutes into the drama, the Presidential Guards Brigade band suddenly to play the National Anthem, even while Buhari was still seated.
The anthem marked the end of the ceremony, with Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and his deputy, Yakubu Dogara, yet to present their speeches.
Security operatives whisked the President out of the chamber leaving the lawmakers behind.
Saraki later led senators out of the House chamber.
