The National Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Uche Secondus, has condemned Tuesday morning security siege on the Abuja residences of Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
Uche Secondus in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja described the development as “attack on democracy, using state security apparatus’’.
He said that Directorate of State Services (DSS), Army and the Police had attacked the National Assembly with the aim of forcibly overthrowing its leadership and rendering it comatose.
“The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu and other distinguished senators are currently under severe assault from security agencies.
“It is now a known fact that democracy have now collapsed in Nigeria and we are now under a totalitarian and fascist government with no appetite for opposition,’’ Secondus said.

He called on all Nigerians, home and abroad, to immediately speak up against the act he described as “gross violation of the Constitution of Nigeria.’’
The chairman also called on all traditional rulers in Nigeria, the international community and all well-meaning Nigerians to rise against the antics to forestall possible derailment of democracy, saying, “the time to act is now.’’
Similarly, a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, in a statement by his Media Office also called for stop to the persecution of national assembly leadership.
“The news of the siege on the residences of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, is “both troubling and unsettling.’’
“No democratic nation ought to treat the leadership of its parliament like common criminals in the course of a political disagreement.
“I remind the powers that be that on Aug. 31, 2013, when Sen. Bukola Saraki walked out of the PDP and began the process of joining the All Progressives Congress, there was celebration in their camps.
“I also remind them that their electoral victory, which they have so badly mismanaged today, would not have been possible without the Senate President.
“Power is transient and is also a trust that should only be used for the good and advancement of the people one leads and not for the persecution of real and imagined political opponents.
“I therefore call for the lifting of the sieges on the persons and homes of Saraki and his deputy, Ekweremadu, by security forces.’’
Abubakar urged President Muhammadu Buhari to live up to his words after Saraki’s ordeal which was brought to a halt by the Supreme Court.
While there was concern about Saraki’s whereabouts, he was reported to have arrived at the Senate Chamber and presided over Tuesday’s plenary.

Wither Nigeria Democracy? The continued use of the the an ethnic Dominated leadership of the Nations Security agencies by PMB led APC Fed Govt to harrass,intimi-date the Senate President Dr Saraki & his Deputy,Dr Ike Ekweremadu & other perceived enemies of the President & his Psycophantic,Corrupt & Self Centred Loyalists. Sadly the result-tant effect of the Fed Govts Impunity, Dictatorial stance & non compliance to Judgements frn well Constitued Courts of the Country.The high level of insecurity & continue killing of innocent Nigerians by the Terorrists,Code named Fulani Herdes,wtout action frm the Command of the Security agencies Im sure the reported failed Coup against the leadership of the National Assy by the Presidency & the Security Agencies, Is quite apt & warning to the peoples in all levels of Govt in Naija. Must realise that they hold power in trust for the massess of Nigeria & power belongs to the people of Nigeria. Consequently,I advise Nigeria politicians to Beware of Ides of History & bear in their minds,that power is Transient,Therefore,let no Nigerian politician,no matter his position,Play god!
