The Federal Government on Saturday ordered the withdrawal of all diplomatic passports of National Assembly members(NASS), including that of Senate President David Mark and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal.
Henceforth, 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.
According to Osun Defenders, no reason was given for the action, but sources said 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.
With the loss of their diplomatic passports, the NASS members no longer have immunity against arrest any time they travel abroad.
