Security Operatives at the presidential villa on Monday, barred Ben Murray Bruce, a Senator, representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District, from exchanging pleasantries with President Muhammadu Buhari. According to Bruce, who joined his colleagues to a dinner to mark the 2016 democracy day, he had attempted to  greet the president like a senator did, but the security agent denied him access.

“I was at the Presidential villa today. Went to the President’s table. DSS wouldn’t allow me greet him but let another Senator greet him,” he tweeted.

“My critics say I shouldn’t criticize the president openly, so I go and meet him one on one and I’m blocked. Am I not a Nigerian citizen?

“If PMB’s handlers selectively block access to him, he runs the risk of being surrounded only by sycophants!

“I have nothing against the President, however, nobody is too important to be criticized and my mouth will never be silenced!”

Bruce is known to be very critical of the current administration, particularly the president.

Just hours before the villa incident, he tweeted: “It’s ‘fantastically corrupt’ that Nigeria maintains a 10 plane Presidential fleet whereas the PM of a rich nation like UK flies commercial!”
