2019 Budget Presentation: Kogi Governor attacks PDP’s lawmakers, calls them bunch of poorly trained at youthful age
*Says Buhari displayed uncommon love for Nigeria
Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello on Wednesday night described Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s lawmakers, who made the 2019 Budget proposal presentation by President Muhammadu Buhari rowdy, as bunch of poorly trained lawmakers at their youthful age.
According to him, the troublesome lawmakers are not just self-centered, but bent on destroying Nigeria and its democracy.
Bello spoke with State House correspondents at the end of the Anchor Borrowers Programme Gala Night at the Presidential Villa on Wednesday night.
The governor, however, noted that President Buhari remained calm during the provocations from the lawmakers and displayed his fatherly love for Nigeria.
Asked his reaction to the drama that played out during the budget proposal presentation, Bello said, “Well, first of all, two distinct human beings; a father and a gentleman who has the interest of the country at heart, President Muhammadu Buhari has displayed his stuff and those who are selfish, self-centred and bent on destroying this country and democracy have also shown themselves today.
“As I said sometimes back that when you have a child that is not well trained by his parents, he will constitute a menace to the society. And that is what we witnessed today at the National Assembly.
“The National Assemblies are supposed to be made of men and women of character and integrity. We’ve seen those who constitute such class of human being today and those that constitute menace to the society in the National Assembly today.
“But above all, I thank God and thank Mr. President for a wonderful presentation of 2019 Budget estimates and which we all believe will take Nigeria to the next level by the grace of God.” he added.
