FG WITHDRAWS DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT OF NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MEMBERS

The Federal Government on Saturday ordered the withdrawal of all
diplomatic passports of National Assembly (NASS) members, including that of Senate President David Mark and Speaker of the House: the relevant Federal Government offices responsible for implementing the directive are already in the know.
No reason was given for the action, but there are indications that it
was not unconnected with the level of opposition the Presidency is
currently facing among the National...
Assembly members which got to
feverish peak last week.
The implication of the Federal Government's action is that all 109
senators and 360 members of the House of Representatives would no
longer enjoy the special travel privileges the blue-coloured passport
confers on its holder when they travel abroad.
With the loss of their diplomatic passports, the NASS members no
longer have immunity against arrest any time they travel abroad, a
script, which is supposedly the motive for the action. culled
*President Jonathan seems to know how to play the game of ludo very well.
He is tying all the loose ends..I wonder what next he has up his sleeves.
