Former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha has also condemned yesterday’s invasion of the National Assembly complex by a team of DSS operatives.
Speaking through his Media Aide, Mr. Chibuike Onyeukwu, Ihedioha described the NASS invasion as a sacrilege and slap on Nigerians.
“The legislature is the fulcrum of democratic practice, consequently, the assault on the people’s House, an institution that symbolises our democracy and has, indeed, entrenched its culture, is, to say the least, a failed coup, abuse of power and, indeed, smacks of dictatorship.”
Ihedioha described the dismissal of the Director General of the DSS, Lawal Daura as an after thought by the Presidency and alleged that “the APC government is bent on scuttling the hard-fought democracy by their anti democratic posture.”
