Shehu Sani, the Senator representing Kaduna Central has reacted to reports of Senator Dino Melaye being among lawmakers that ‘booed’ president Muhammadu Buhari at the National Assembly during the 2019 budget presentation.
Recall that lawmakers booed President Muhammadu Buhari, during the 2019 budget presentation before a joint session of the National Assembly on December 19, 2018.
However, the Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye, on Saturday denied being part of the lawmakers that booed Buhari.
Melaye claimed he was absent at the House of Representatives chamber, venue of the budget presentation on that day.
Since the incident, there have been reports in the social media that the booing was led by the Kogi Senator.
Speaking on the development, Sani supported Melaye’s claim, saying the Senator was not present at NASS on the day Buhari was booed.
In a post on his Twitter page, the Kaduna lawmaker wrote: ”Dino was not present on the day the President presented the budget to the Joint parliamentary session.”
