This is a standard operational protocol in the Villa when you are having either of the three occupants of the Presidency. If they are coming for an event, this is supposed to be DSS enforced“Whether the president is having an event or the Vice President is having an event or the First Lady is having an event, because outsiders will come. That’s the security and standard protocol.“That does not apply to the Vice President. How can you expect that to apply to the Vice President or even to ministers?” he asked.[URL unfurl="true"]https://leadership.ng/ramadan-iftar-first-lady-to-host-presidential-aspirants-saturday/[/URL]</blockquote>
