National Assembly members during President Mohammadu Buhari’s 2019 budget presentation speech turned the joint session into a rowdy one.

PDP Lawmakers were reportedly booing Buhari during his presentation and when It was time for Saraki and Dogara to present their speeches, APC lawmakers chanted ‘four more years,’ their PDP counterparts screamed, ‘no more years.’

After more than 10 minutes into the drama, the Presidential Guards Brigade band suddenly to play the National Anthem, even while Buhari was still seated.

The anthem marked the end of the ceremony, with Saraki and Dogara yet to present their speeches.

Security operatives whisked the President out of the chamber leaving the lawmakers behind.
