The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Uche Secondus has described the invasion of the Senate and stealing of the mace by suspected political thugs as a product of a broken government.
He made this statement while speaking to journalists on Wednesday at the Akure Airport.
Secondus blamed the insensitivity of the All Progressives Congress-led government to the issue of security in the country for the development.
He said, “All the political movements going on currently in the country were targeted at removing President Muhammadu Buhari from office in the 2019 Presidential election.”
“We are all Nigerians, I believe that all the forces are working together for the interest of this nation and at this point, we believe that the movements are for the interest of all Nigerians. The move is to rescue Nigeria from the crisis we have found ourselves.
“A few minutes ago, in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we were informed that hoodlums forced their ways into the Senate chamber and carted away the mace.”
“What that means is that the country is totally broken. The APC government is totally broken, there is insecurity all over the country – from the North to the East to West, people are dying on daily basis.
“So all the forces are for the interest of the country. Nigerian people are tired of the Buhari’s government.”
DAILY POST reports that thugs suspected to be loyal to the suspended Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial district, Ovie Omo-Agege had invaded the red chambers and forcefully took away the mace.
Few minutes later, the mace was recovered and the hallowed chamber resumed sitting.
