We had brought you the story of senator Ben Murray-Bruce (PDP, Bayelsa) claiming personnel of the Department of State Service (DSS) barred him from having a word with president Muhammadu Buhari, when the nation’s number one citizen played host to senators, late Monday.
Oh well, another senator has called out the entertainment mogul for being economical with the truth. Senator Shehu Sani (APC, Kaduna) says Ben Bruce didn’t relay what exactly transpired during the meeting.
His version of events is reproduced below, unedited.
“We met with Mr President at the Villa yester-night.He was frank and blunt with us and we were honest with him. He addressed us, and those nominated to speak responded, raised issues and asked questions of which he answered. I actually wanted to speak but I was not so lucky.
“I was surprised to learn that one of us later disclosed that he was prevented by security agents from coming close to Mr President. I personally experienced NO such. And I don’t think Mr President can bar any legislature from coming close to him for holding different opinion on National issues. I always have an independent mind and will always speak my mind when there is the need to do so;For decades, Mr President knows me for that and still respect me for that. It’s not everything the security agents does that Mr President will know.
“Mr President address to us was comprehensive and satisfying.Wishing him Lord’s blessings and good health in this historic mission to rebuild our great country. PMB is a leader we most need and deserve at this time”.
