The immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has reacted to the recent crisis and invasion of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly by security agents.
DAILY POST had reported that a combined force of Police, Army and Civil Defense took over the entire Assembly complex, barring even the House of Assembly staff from gaining entrance.
The development came hours after a new Police boss was deployed to Akwa Ibom.
Also, there has been confusion in the House after seats of five members were declared vacant by the Speaker, Onofiok Luke.
Speaking on the development, Fayose, on his Twitter page, condemned the actions of security agencies in the state.
According to him, the crisis in the Akwa Ibom House of Assembly is a reminder of threat to democracy in Nigeria under the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
He wrote: “It appears that Security Agencies under the APC govt of Buhari have become the greatest threat to democracy in this country.
“What is happening in Akwa-Ibom State House of Assembly is another sad reminder of this threat.”
