Prince Uche Secondus, the National Chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has urged the British government to expel President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Nigerian leader is on a 10-day vacation in London, the British capital.
Secondus said Buhari should be expelled because, according to him, the President is hiding in London to allegedly disrupt democracy back home in Nigeria.
The PDP chairman made this allegation against the backdrop of the invasion of the National Assembly by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
And Secondus said in a statement from his Media Adviser, Ike Abonyi, that Buhari left Nigeria for the UK to allegedly orchestrate the move.
He saluted Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo for sacking the Director General of the DSS, Lawan Daura, whom the presidency said ordered the invasion without its knowledge.
“When an executive arm in a democratic setting muscles up other arms of government, the correct name for such administration is autocracy and dictatorship,” he said.
“Nigerians and international community have continuously watched this administration, harass and intimidate the legislature and Judiciary as well as others in opposition in their bid to create a dictatorial regime.
“All over the World, the parliament is the bastion of democracy and rule of law anybody not willing to alien himself to them is trying to create anarchy in the land.”
