ABUJA-CONSTITUENTS and supporters of
suspended senator Ali Ndume ,stormed the
National Assembly in their number Tuesday, to
register their grievances over last week’s
suspension of the senator. The protesters, who started their action around
7:30 when workers were resuming for work,
barricaded the main entrance gate to the
legislative house thereby causing human and
vehicular traffic on the road leading inside the
complex.

To prevent some of them entering inside the
complex to cause damage, security men took
strategic positions while workers were redirected
to pass through the entrance gate of the Office of
Secretary to State Government, SGF. The protesters, whose action caused unbearable
inconveniences to workers and early morning
visitors, accused the Senate President, Bukola
Saraki of masterminded the action against the
Borno South Senatorial District representative ,just
as they asked that the Senate President must be removed. The aggrieved protesters also demanded that
Saraki must prevail on the Senate to reverse the
action within three days, failure of which they
threatened larger protests. The protesters, who came under different groups,
including Internally Displaced Persons, were seen
chanting pro-Ndume songs just as they carried
placards with different inscriptions such as
“Ndume again Insha Allah’’, who is afraid of
Ibrahim Magu?” ,Stop undermining PMB’’ , “Saraki is a curse among others. One of the leaders of the groups, Mr Joseph
Okwuama told newsmen that if the lawmaker
was not recalled, they would stage several
protests across the Federal Capital Territory for
seven days. Okwuama, who is the National Coordinator, All
Progressives Congress ,APC Movement, said the
suspension of Ndume was uncalled for. He said: “We are talking about corruption in the
country. As Nigerian youths we have to work
together in support if the anti-corruption war. “Corruption is not all about money. What the
National Assembly did is corruption. The
suspension of Ndume is corruption. “Ndume’s suspension did not follow due process.
The man did not do anything. “We are giving the National Assembly three days
and if they refuse Nigerians will go the street of
Abuja and protest for one week.” Muhammad Tanko, leader of indigenes from
Borno South, Ndume’s constituency, said the
constituency could not afford not to have
representation for six months. He said: “the suspension of our senator for six
months by the Senate is illegal when the
constitution allows for suspension of only 14
days. “Saraki must go. He knows what Ndume did for
him before he became President’’ Naima, Sale, wife of Chairman, IDPs in Karama Jiji
camp in the Federal Capital Territory, said the
lawmaker had been of help to internally displaced
persons and should not be made to suffer for
nothing. Recall that Senator Ndume was suspended
Wednesday ,last week by the Senate for asking
the Upper legislative Chamber to investigate
allegations of fake customs papers and certificate
forgery against senators Bukola Saraki Dino
Melaye,APC,Kogi West respectively. An online platform had accused Saraki of
importing a Range Rover SUV without paying
appropriate imports duty, and attempting to clear
the vehicle with falsified papers. Also, Melaye was accused of falsely claiming to
have graduated from Ahmadu Bello University. But the Senate, in line with recommendations of
its Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public
Petitions, who was mandated to probe the
allegations, cleared the duo and slammed Ndume
a six-month suspension.

If they are not still protesting at this very moment, then they aren't serious. Besides, protest in not enough to change the decision. Ndume knows this fact.

It will take serious lobbying to make that happen. And even if the decision is changed, he'll be like a chicken beating by rain.

Ndume should better go and rest, the did had been done. He allow himself to be use as a scape goat. The same treatment meted to Jibrin by Dogara.
