Femi Gbajabiamila explains why he scaled National Assembly gate

Some have condemned the action of the House of Representatives members who scaled the National Assembly gate to gain entrance on Thursday, saying they acted like “dishonourable” members of the House.

 One of the lawmakers, Minority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has explained why he went to that extent. In a statement signed by his research and media assistant, Wasiu Olanrewaju-Smart, the lawmaker said he never thought a day will come when he will have to scale the gate of the assembly complex.

His words: “What happened in the National Assembly yesterday will forever live in infamy. I never thought I would see the day when I would be forced to go over the assembly gates where I work to gain access into the chambers. But then our democracy has to be saved”.

 “It was pretty clear the presidency in spite of a court injunction wanted to do something sinister and illegal.

“They perfected the plot to stop the Speaker and the opposition leader from gaining entry. My members were already in chambers waiting for me to come in so as to provide leadership and direction. Most of them had gone over the gate too. I had to do the needful to save our democracy. 

We thank God we foiled their evil machinations. We will continue to be vigilant”.
