The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday condemned the invasion of the Nigerian Senate by some thugs suspected to be acting on the order of the recently suspended Senator Omo-Agege. Recall that on Wednesday, some thugs in the company of Sen. Omo-Agege invaded the Senate chamber and hijacked the Mace, thus disrupting an ongoing session.
Reacting to the ugly development, the APC in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi said the action amounted to an attack on the nation's democracy and called on security agencies to recover the Mace and ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice.
The statement read
“The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to the invasion of the Nigerian Senate by suspected thugs who disrupted Wednesday’s plenary and made away with the mace.
“The APC hereby condemns this action and views it as an attack on our democracy and a desecration of the hallowed institution of the National Assembly.
“We, therefore, call on security agencies to take all necessary actions to recover the stolen mace and ensure that the perpetrators and their sponsors are brought to justice.”
