The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila said that he and other legislators were forced to scale the gate of the National Assembly complex in a bid to save the nation’s democracy.

The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has spoken on the November 20 chaos which erupted in the National Assembly.

Gbajabiamila said that he and other legislators were forced to scale the gate of the National Assembly complex in a bid to save the nation’s democracy.

The minority leader also said that he had to find a way into the building because his members were waiting for him to provide guidance.

A statement released by his research and media assistant, Wasiu Olanrewaju-Smart reads:

“What happened in the National Assembly yesterday will forever live in infamy. I never thought I would see the day when I would be forced to go over the assembly gates where I work to gain access into the chambers. But then our democracy has to be saved.”

“It was pretty clear the presidency in spite of a court injunction wanted to do something sinister and illegal.”

“They perfected the plot to stop the Speaker and the opposition leader from gaining entry. My members were already in chambers waiting for me to come in so as to provide leadership and direction. Most of them had gone over the gate too. I had to do the needful to save our democracy.”

We thank God we foiled their evil machinations. We will continue to be vigilant,”

The incident led to the shutting down of the National Assembly by Senate President, David Mark, who was also assaulted during the melee.
