PDP RAISES ALARM OVER “PLOT” TO ARREST NASS MEMBERS
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that there are plans to arrest National Assembly members, who booed President Muhammadu Buhari during the presentation of the 2019 budget proposal on Wednesday, December 19.
The claim was made by a spokesman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Buba Galadima, while addressing journalists in Abuja on Sunday, December 23.
According to him, the presidency has directed security agencies to start compiling names of lawmakers, who jeered the president to be arrested.
He noted that parliamentarians all over the world had booed and even pelted presidents and prime ministers, adding that the presidency will be breaching the rules of democracy if it carries out the arrest. He also explained that in Nigeria, lawmakers enjoy parliamentary privileges and can’t be prosecuted for actions taken on the floor.
