Former Senate President Reveals Why Buhari Was Booed by Lawmakers

Third Republic Senate President, Senator Ameh Ebute, has revealed why some members of the National Assembly booed President Muhammadu Buhari during the 2019 budget presentation on Wednesday.

He said that the lawmakers who booed President Buhari did so because of constituency projects.

According to him, the lawmakers’ action might have been caused by Buhari’s failure to allow the them to dip their hands into the national treasury.

The former lawmaker said that booing a president was unprecedented in history of democracy in the country.

Ebute said the concerned lawmakers thought that they wanted to disgrace the president when in actual fact, they ended up disgracing themselves.
