Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of representatives, has pleaded with lawmakers in the lower legislative chamber not to embarrass President Muhammadu Buhari by staging a protest during thebudget presentation.

TheCable learnt that aggrieved lawmakers of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who did not get tickets to contest the 2019 polls were planning to protest against the president.

Some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers also plotted to partake in the protest, a legislative source said.

But the source said during a closed-door session on Thursday, Dogara pleaded with the aggrieved lawmakers in the which lasted about 12 minutes not to protest against Buhari as he is presenting the 2019 budget proposal.

Another source said after the plea, some of the aggrieved lawmakers submitted their placards to Kawu Sumaila, senior special assistant to the president on national assembly matters (house of representatives).

“They have started submitting their placards to Kawu,” the source said.

“They are aggrieved, you know most of them did not get their tickets and that is why they want to protest. That is the reason for the delay, the joint session was supposed to start at 12am.”

Last week, some lawmakers in the lower legislative chamber threatened to boycott the budget presentation.

This news are for those who didn't watch it live. Members were hailing Buhari

Most of them rod on Buharis name to win elections, now no return tickets, if they are so popular or of political value why fail to win a return ticket.
Most of them will retire after 2019..

Bunch of hooligans

That budget won't be pass till after election. No need for them to pass the budget for now.

Protesting at budget presentation because they didn’t get a ticket to recontest.

So they plan to sabotage the future of our country because of personal and selfish grievance.

I believe that should be made a treason.

Zombies will come and say otherwise

Stop arrogatting power to this guy. If Buhari really want to handle Saraki, he won't last one week. It seems u underestimate the awesome power of the presidency.
