Lagos Assembly Crisis: Tinubu Should Focus On Bringing Nigeria Out Of The Mess He Plunged The Country – Atiku

Share

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has challenged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to focus on bringing Nigeria out of the mess he plunged the country into rather than interfering in Lagos State House of Assembly matters.

This was as he noted that the purported invitation of armed security operatives for a conflict resolution in a parliament is an anathema that should be frowned upon and interrogated with all sense of urgency.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, also declared that whatever may have caused the leadership crisis in the Lagos State House of Assembly was an undercurrent that is not abnormal in a system of democracy.

Atiku, who stated these while reacting to the alleged invasion of the Lagos State House of Assembly by operatives of the Department of State Service and the Nigeria Police Force, said that it was bewildering that the invading operatives reportedly have a mandate to enforce a leadership change in the House.

He described the invasion as appalling, utterly reprehensible and totally condemnable, adding that the viral video of armed security operatives invading the Lagos State Assembly must be subjected to a full and thorough investigation.

In the words of Atiku; “It is appalling that it is those who claimed to have fought for democracy that decided to sanction this crass desecration of the state’s foremost legislative body, and by so doing, putting our hard-earned democracy in jeopardy.

“This act is an attack on the sanctity of democracy and a landmark of indignity to the Nigerian electorate, especially the people of Lagos,” he stressed.
