Former Vice president, Atiku Abubakar has called for the investigation of the alleged invasion of the Lagos State House of Assembly during plenary on Monday to a certain the veracity of the story.
He said, the viral video of armed security operatives invading the Lagos State House of Assembly is utterly reprehensible and stands condemned, adding that it must be subjected to a full and thorough investigation.
According to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic party in the 2023 general election, it is bewildering that the invading operatives reportedly have a mandate to enforce a leadership change in the House.
He said ” it is appalling that it is those who claimed to have fought for democracy that decided to sanction this crass desecration of the state’s foremost legislative body, and by so doing, putting our hard-earned democracy in jeopardy.
“This act is an attack on the sanctity of democracy and a landmark of indignity to the Nigerian electorate, especially the people of Lagos.
“Whatever may have caused the leadership crisis in the Lagos State House of Assembly is an undercurrent that is not abnormal in a system of democracy.
“The purported invitation of armed security operatives for a conflict resolution in a parliament is an anathema that should be frowned upon and interrogated with all sense of urgency.
“Tinubu should focus on bringing Nigeria out of the mess he plunged the country into rather than interfering in the state matters.”
