Jonathan didn’t order withdrawal of lawmakers’ diplomatic passports

The Nigerian Immigration Service on Monday denied claims that
President Goodluck Jonathan directed it to withdraw the diplomatic
passports of members of the National Assembly.
This clarification followed allegations by the New Peoples Democratic
Party, that the President ordered the withdrawal of the travel
document.
The Public Relations Officer of the service, Mr. Emeka Obua, said this
in a statement in Abuja.
He explained that the extant guidelines on the issuance of such travel
documents had not been changed.
The NIS said, "No instruction has been received to review the
guideline to target any segment or category of Nigerians. Members of
the National Assembly are being issued diplomatic passports upon
applications."
