Former Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has described the opposition political parties as being desperate and are trying by other means to embarrass President Muhammadu Buhari.
Dr. Uduaghan, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to the All Progressives Congress (APC), was reacting to the incidence at the joint session of the National Assembly where President Buhari, today, Wednesday, presented the 2019 national budget.
“There is nothing unusual about what happened today. It is not a sign of the President not being popular.
“It is about the fact that the opposition is adopting other means of trying to embarrass a sitting President.
“It is the sign of a more desperate opposition. And the President stood up to the challenge. Our democracy is deepening.”
The former governor liked what happened at the National Assembly to the legislative proceedings in the House of Lords and House of Commons in Britain, saying that what transpired today in Abuja was not unusual.
“Legislative houses all over the world are places where prominent heads of States are openly opposed. Some lose their temper and resort to use of foul language.
“Watch the British Parliament every Wednesday at 12 noon when the British PM appears in parliament.”
