The
apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Tuesday
described the blockade of the National Assembly by the State Security
Service as a surprise and an impeachable offence in the constitution
of the country.
According
to a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the
group, Barr Uche Achi, recent events in Nigeria, climaxing in the
blockade and prevention of marked adversary Senators and House Of
Reps Members from gaining access into the legislative building
altogether, are not coming to us as surprises. Instead, they are
sprouting in alarming crescendos in crystal vindication of our stand
that only a restructured Nigeria can thrive henceforth.
"The
foundations of Nigeria have been pulverized and until restructured
will continue to nosedive irretrievably and I liken the situation to
Ola Rotimi's adage in The gods Are Not To Blame, "Until the
rotten tooth is pulled out the mouth must chew with caution".
"The
National Assembly is the precinct of democracy and should never be
visited by or with executive lawlessness wrapped in discernable hocus
pocus.
"The
event of today in particular is raw as it is a clueless brandishing
from the executors. Nothing more can be an impeachable offence than
this callous desecration of the National Assembly which is the symbol
of democracy. To offer any reason(s) for this igneous and ignominious
display is to merely dwell in whipping sentiments.
"It
is obvious from the prevailing circumstances that neither the Police
nor the DSS has been or can be queried because they are acting on
"instructions from above" to the chagrin of helpless
and horribly dumbfounded Nigerians.
"If
Mr Daura, the DG, DSS is neither suspended nor sacked after today's
event so that Mr Idris, the IGP will take caution (or follow suit), l
will resign to fate."
