Ekiti Lawmakers Protest At US, UK Embassies(photos) by chimere66(op): 2:47pm On Mar 14, 2016
Members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly have taken their protest over the armed men of the Department of State Services (DSS) Friday, March 4, 2016, invasion of the House of Assembly complex and subsequent abduction of four of the assembly members, calling on the international community to intervene and save democracy in Nigeria from imminent collapse. 

Carrying placards with various inscriptions; the lawmakers said;


“We want to state here categorically that no amount of intimidation, harassment and oppression will make us impeach our leader and benefactor, Governor Ayodele Fayose. The DSS should therefore know that the 2006 theory they are working on will not work this time around.”



Some of the inscriptions on the placards read;



“DSS harassment is about 2018, we won’t be cowed,” DSS, face this impunity must stop! This is democracy, not dictatorship,” DSS, don’t destroy our democracy, respect rule of law,”Fayose remains our leader, we won’t impeach him,” “Nigerians need change, not chains,” “Buhari, face economy and security, not opposition,” and “DSS, free Ekiti lawmakers; we are legislators, not criminals.”

Naija sliding slowly but surely down the path of anarchy... all courtesy of the confused decisions of the dullard grandpa who have refused to acknowledge he is so out of touch with reality of what democracy stands for...

This is the height of stupidity, Nigeria is a sovereign nation, if you feel aggrieved the next thing to do is to go to court. Are we puppies of foreign countries in our own country?

Were there no reputable institution in Nigeria or Africa that could stand for human rights when 7 lawmakers out of 26 members impeached a speaker and his deputy to instal a PDP speaker? Did you weep for Ekiti then?

[size=14pt] Ekiti Speaker, deputy ‘impeached’ by 7 PDP lawmakers[/size]
The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Adewale Omirin, and his deputy, Adetunji Orisalade, have been removed from office by seven Peoples Democratic Party members of the Assembly.

The Speaker and his deputy, both members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, were impeached amid tight security provided by the police.

They were replaced with Dele Olugbemi and Abeni Olayinka. Both are members of the PDP.

As i always say what goes around comes around, so when 7 APC lawmakers attempt to impeach the governor with the support of DSS, PDP should be the last to complain of human rights abuses.

Re: Ekiti Lawmakers Protest At US, UK Embassies(photos) by Nobody: 6:49pm On Mar 14, 2016
When was Ekiti State annexed to the USA and UK for them to have gone to the embassies to protest?

Are they protesting at those embassies so that USA and UK can do what: order DSS out of Ekiti State or issue executive order on one of their "states" that has been over-ran by DSS?

A times I wonder how our politicians thinks, anyway what am I saying I could see how their followers reason on NL on daily basis.
Re: Ekiti Lawmakers Protest At US, UK Embassies(photos) by Jdesilentkiller(m):
