DSS operatives deny lawmakers entry into National Assembly complex
Former Abia State Governor Orji Uzo Kalu has said the invasion of the National Assembly by the Department of State Services (DSS) was a script by “hungry politicians.”
The chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress said the incident was the plan of desperate politicians who want to win the 2019 general elections on public sympathy.
He said this in a series of tweets on Wednesday, saying it was an attempt to paint President Muhammadu Buhari bad.
“Its funny to insinuate that what transpired at the NASS was a siege on democracy,” the former governor wrote.
“It was nothing but a scripted act by power hungry political elites who have vowed to win election on a platter of public sympathy rather than credibility.
“They have failed in all efforts to dent and discredit the efforts of Mr. President.
“They have lost every atom of credibility thus resulting to feasting on the Intellect of an average Nigerian who could be “emotional thinkers” in order to whip up public sympathy and support.
“It has absolutely nothing to do with our democracy or the masses neither did such order come from the Presidency.
“Don’t be fooled and be on intellectual guard we are in a political period and we should expect more of such.”
