Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has commends the acting President for listening to the clarion call of Nigerians and taking action to halt the illegal and anti-democratic siege of the National Assembly by men of the Department of State Security.
Atiku Abubakar said that by firing the Director General of the DSS, Lawal Daura, the acting President has given meaning to the cries of Nigerians that “we will not tolerate such anti democratic actions.
In a statement by his media office, the former Vice President called on all statesmen and political leaders to put aside partisanship and rally round the acting President during these fragile times for our democracy.
He also called for an independent judicial panel of inquiry, to investigate today’s incidence at the National Assembly to get to the root of the matter so that those responsible can be identified and punished.
“These are delicate times for Nigeria and all lovers of democracy and the rule of law must be extra watchful lest anti-democratic forces take advantage of all we have worked hard to build.” [myad]
