Ben Murray-Bruce, on Monday said operatives of the State Security Service prevented him from “greeting” President Muhammadu Buhari at a state dinner organised to mark 2016 Democracy Day.
Mr.
Murray-Bruce tweeted around 10:45pm on Monday, “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.”
The
senator later expanded the tweet on his Facebook page, adding, “I have nothing
against the President, however, nobody is too important to be criticized and my
mouth will never be silenced!”
He
did not name the senator that was allowed passage to the president after he
(Murray-Bruce) was bounced.
The
SSS could not be reached for comments. The agency has had no spokesperson since
it’s former press interface, Marilyn Ogar, was sacked from service.
