Taminu Turaki
Taminu Turaki, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, has called for the investigation of those behind the invasion of the National Assembly by operatives of the DSS.
Speaking to PDP delegates in Osun State, Turaki stated that the invasion was planned by some powerful persons.
He, however, stated that it was not enough for the federal government to sack any culprit from his job.
“Those responsible should be investigated and prosecuted in the court to serve as a deterrence from such acts in the future,” he said.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria also expressed sadness at the “desecration of the symbol of democracy – the National Assembly – with impunity 19 years after sustained efforts were made to establish representative governance.”
Turaki noted that putting the legislature under siege was tantamount to putting Nigeria’s democracy in chains.
“It also means that the rule of law has no meaning to to the APC,” he lamented.
