dinner.
He added: “I was surprised to learn that one of us later
disclosed that he was prevented by security agents from
coming close to Mr President.I personally experienced NO
such.And I don’t think Mr President can bar any legislature
from coming close to him for holding different opinion on
National issues.
“I always have an independent mind and will always speak
my mind when there is the need to do so;For decades, Mr
President knows me for that and still respect me for
that.Its not everything the security agents does that Mr
President will know.
“Mr President address to us was comprehensive and
satisfying.Wishing him Lord’s blessings and good health in
this historic mission to rebuild our great country.PMB is a
leader we most need and deserve at this time.”
