The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as ‘irresponsible’ the ‘booing’’ of President Muhammadu Buhari during the 2019 budget presentation by some lawmakers suspected to be members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
APC said “by law, respect for the office of the president or head of government in any clime is not a matter of choice but a civic obligation sanctioned by law, being an opposition party or critic is no licence for such wayward conduct by the PDP legislative caucus; most especially against the president of the country”.
The party also criticized the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives for not reprimanding the lawmakers that booed the President to order.
“Their failure to rein in their unruly PDP colleagues, while their show of shame lasted clearly confirmed that the PDP members’ action was premeditated and orchestrated to embarrass the President. APC said.
