According to tweets from Bruce’s official Twitter handle, the incident was reported to have occurred at the presidential villa during a dinner to mark the 2016 democracy day.
“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,” he tweeted.

My critics say I shouldn’t criticize the President openly, so I go and meet him one on one and I’m blocked. Am I not a Nigerian citizen?
