House of Representatives Minority Leader,
Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila said it was sad that
he and other members of the House of
Representatives had to scale the gate of the
National Assembly complex to gain access to
their duty post yesterday.
Gbajabiamila said in a statement signed by his
research and media assistant, Wasiu
Olanrewaju-Smart that he never thought a day
will ever come when he will be forced to scale
the gate of the assembly complex.
“What happened in the National Assembly
yesterday will forever live in infamy.
I never thought I would see the day when I would be
forced to go over the assembly gates where I
work to gain access into the chambers.
But then our democracy has to be saved.”
He said he is surprised that the presidency
could, through its agents, undermine a court
injunction restraining them from acting
against the Speaker.
“It was pretty clear the presidency in spite of
a court injunction
wanted to do something sinister and illegal.
“They perfected the plot to stop the Speaker
and the opposition leader from gaining entry.
My members were already in chambers
waiting for me to come in so as to provide
leadership and direction. Most of them had
gone over the gate too. I had to do the needful
to save our democracy.
We thank God we foiled their evil
machinations. We will continue to be
vigilant."
