President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday during the 2019 ongoing budget presentation chided some lawmakers for interrupting his presentation to the joint assembly of the lawmakers.

From point of entering the chambers, some lawmakers were seen chanting anti-Buhari songs while some hailed him.

This will be my last speech in the 8th National Assembly” Buhari said while reading his speech. The PDP members in aloud voice said”Amen!”
“The economy has been recovered”, Buhari said but the PDP members further shouted “Ha, no!” While the APC members continue their applause for the president.

He later continued with his presentation.
