All
Progressives Congress (APC) has
said the police invasion of the
National Assembly last week is
the equivalent of a coup and called
for an independent inquiry to
determine who ordered the
invasion and for what purpose,
with a view to preventing a
recurrence and also meting out
the necessary punishment to
those behind it. In a statement issued in Lagos on
Tuesday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
the party said using weapons to
attack an arm of government and
preventing it from carrying out its
functions are tantamount to a
coup, adding that the tear gas that
was fired into the National
Assembly by an invading force of
policemen is a chemical weapon.
''We are demanding the
independent inquiry In view of the
seriousness of the armed attack
on the National Assembly and the
danger it poses to our democracy.
We are also alerting the
international community to the
happenings in Nigeria and urging
them to show interest because of
their investment in the country's
democracy,'' it said.
Wike cannot mobilize any grassroot outside his Ikwerre ethnic nationality. GEJ and PDP know this; they will not give him the party ticket. How can Ikwerre rule for over 8 years then they want to continue? Wike can be likened to Goliath so big and so formidable but its a small stone that will end it all.
