Former Governor of Abia State and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Orji Uzo Kalu has accused politicians who are desperate to win the 2019 elections on a platter of public sympathy of responsible for the siege on the National Assembly by men and officers of the Department of State Security (DSS) on Tuesday.
In a series of tweets today, Wednesday, the former governor described as funny, insinuation that what happened at the National Assembly was a siege on Nigeria’s democracy, stressing that it had nothing to do with the democracy but was meant to discredit President Muhammadu Buhari by desperate politicians.
Kalu wrote: “Its funny to insinuate that what transpired at the NASS was a siege on democracy. 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.” [myad]
