The Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Aminu Tambuwal who defected to the All
Progressive Congress, was on Thursday prevented
by security operatives from entering the National
Assembly Complex to preside over a special
session of the House on the extension of state of
emergency in some Northern states.
Last Tuesday, Honorable Aminu had recalled
members of the Lower Chamber from recess to
consider President Goodluck Jonathan�s request for
extension of emergency rule in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe
States.
However, on his arrival at the National Assembly. security
operatives had taken over the National Assembly complex, a
move seen as aimed at preventing the Speaker from gaining
access to preside over the special session.
When the security operatives would not allow his vehicles in,
the Speaker abandoned his vehicle and walked from the gate
towards the Chamber in company of some lawmakers. At this
point, the police released teargas, causing pandemonium as
lawmakers including Senators scampered for safety.
Reacting to this development, the speaker of Kwara State
House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Razak Atunwa described the
action of the police as a case of lawmakers versus law
breakers. Atunwa who spoke through his twitter handle
( @Atunwa_1 ) said
"The police conduct at the #NASS today is a national
disgrace. GEJ should bury his head in shame! He's not fit to
be President.
Further speaking, Atunwa said "Today at the #NASS was a
case of Lawmakers vs Law-breakers (Police). Laying siege on
the Legislature is the height of lawlessness. It's the beginning
of descent to anarchy."
Prior to adjourning plenary for one month on October 28,
Tambuwal had formally announced his defection to the
opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).

Militarization of National Assembly: Era of Dictatorship is here again..... 'To every on-looker is either a coward or a betarayer'...Without fear or favor, we totally condemn the immature action of the Presidency aim at victimizing the Speaker of House of Representative today by denying him entry into the National assembly today. This to us is totally immature, condemnable and undemocratic on the part of the supposed father of the Nation. Security operatives, Thursday, fenced the Speaker of the House of  Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal from entering the National Assembly Complex.

Lawmakers who accompanied the speaker had to climb the second entry point gate as some who could not climb sustained injuries while trying to scale over.

At about 10.54am after  much entreaties the speaker was allowed entry but other lawmakers were denied entry.

The speaker’s official car was detained but after his entry into the outer space of the complex, Security  men barricaded him and shot tear gas carnisters into the air to scare him but the speaker stood his ground. .

The speaker who got to NASS at about 10.38am was accompanied by a long convoy of cars and was allowed to pass through the outer gate entry point.

We on this note advise the President to face governance and stop this dirty politics as there are lots of national issues begging for attention such as: *Insurgency in the North. *Corruption. *Unemployment and decay in the education sector.... ENOUGH OF THIS.... God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

Jonathan will surely regret it its just a matter of time
