The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned as a show of shame and national embarrassment, Thursday’s fracas by disgruntled APC members in the House of Representatives saying the ugly development brings to question, President Muhammadu Buhari and his party’s commitment to democracy, unity and the stability of the country.
The PDP said the disgraceful act is a direct consequence of President Buhari’s lack of democratic credentials to reign in his party to respect the independence and sanctity of the legislative arm of government, the very citadel of democracy, as enshrined in the nation’s constitution.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on Thursday said “the barbaric attempt to physically assault a duly elected Speaker, seize the mace, the authority of the House, is a direct attack on the Nigerian parliament which embodies the supremacy of the people and our freedom as a democratic nation”.
