The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation PPCO has
said it uncovered plans by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the
Presidency to arrest the National Assembly members who booed President
Muhammadu Buhari during his 2019 proposed budget presentation last
Wednesday.
The PPCO spokesman, Buba Galadima, who addressed
newsmen Sunday in Abuja, claimed that the presidency had directed
security agencies to start compiling names of lawmakers who jeered
Buhari for arrest.
“We learnt under an impeccable authority that
some of his close aids are meeting and taking names of those supposedly
booed the President. Whether to frame them, either with EFCC or ask the
police to invite them. I don’t know for what purpose.
“They can’t
arrest any parliamentarian for booing the President on what he thinks
is correct. That the President misrepresented what has happened in his
or her constituency. They should be careful with what they are trying to
do, because what they are planning to do, whether the President knows
or he doesn’t know, will affect the 2019 general elections.
“He
has no authority whatsoever, or his agents whether EFCC, ICPC, Police
and DSS to accost any parliamentarian for having booed the President
that read out on the floor of the National Assembly,” he said.
