‘Booing is part of democracy’ — and other reactions to Buhari’s budget presentation
The social space is awash with reactions to the 2019 budget presentation of President Muhammadu Buhari.
While addressing a joint session of the national assembly during the budget presentation, some lawmakers booed him.
Buhari cautioned the legislators but they refused and the voices of those opposed to the president were louder than those of his loyalists.
Here are some Twitter reactions to the incident.
Believe in yourself @MBuhari you can still come back again to present #Budget2020 like the way you had presented #Budget2019 today. pic.twitter.com/crKCyvNkSP

Booing and Cheering is the beauty of democracy. Even Trump and May have gotten their fair share of it #Budget2019

So after all this noise of NextLevel,its only 53% of #Budget2018 that has been implemented.
I guess that's GEJ's fault too.

Nigeria is in dire need of responsible leaders with dignity and respect for themselves, their office and to one another. #Budget2019

The mood in the Green chambers on #NextLevelBudget presentation is the best thing to happen to Nigeria. Lawmakers expressed the sentiments of citizens and stood up to Buhari to let him know that he has failed. On lies they told him, he’s felt the mood firsthand #Budget2019

We shouldn't focus mainly on the Presidency and governorship election in 2019, we should also make sure that only sensible people are elected and returned to the National Assembly #Budget2019

What happened today at National Assembly between the pro-Buhari and anti-Buhari legislators is shameful and an utter disrespect of Nigerians. Our democracy still have a long way to go. #Budget2019 #NextLevelBudget

The drama that played out during the joint-sitting for #Budget2019 presentation by PMB, only reinforces my belief that most members of the @nassnigeria are more interested in their own self-survival & political affiliations than they're about the national interest.

You present the 2019 budhet in 2018 but it will not be passed until June 2019. #Budget2019
