We had reported that the
Police blocked Saraki’s convoy at Lake Chad junction in Abuja.
Similarly, the police and the
EFCC laid siege on the home of Ekweremadu, stopping him from attending Tuesday
plenary.
However, reacting, Secondus, in a
statement he personally signed in Abuja, accused the All Progressives Congress
(APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari of using state security apparatus of the
DSS, Army and the Nigeria police to attack the National Assembly with the aim
of ‘forcibly overthrowing the National Assembly leadership and rendering the
third arm of government incapacitated.
Secondus also called on Nigerians
to speak out because Nigerian’s democracy was under attack. He added that
Saraki, Ekweremadu and other distinguished senators are currently under severe
assault from security agencies.
He said, “It now a known fact
that democracy has now collapsed in Nigeria and we are now under a totalitarian
and fascist government with no appetite for the opposition.
“President Muhammadu Buhari is a
beneficiary of democracy elected into power and since he took over on May 29th
2015, he has done nothing but destroyed every fabric of democracy and the rule
of law.
“We hereby call on all Nigerians
home and abroad to immediately speak up against this act of gross violation of
the constitution of Nigeria and the attempt disruption of the Democratic
process and institutions by President Muhammadu Buhari and privatized members
of the Nigerian security agencies.
“We call on all traditional
rulers in Nigeria, the international community and all well-meaning Nigerians
to rise up against the antics of President Muhammadu Buhari to forestall a
possible derailment of our democracy. The time to act is now.”
