Below is the Video of what happened at the National Assembly Today, 20th November 2014.
The House of representative was supposed to reconvene today to discuss the extension of the Emergency Rule in the three states, Adamawa, Yobe and Borno states but the members of the lower house meet security agencies at the National Assembly and the gates under lock and key. After so much trouble the Members gained access into the house and held a close door meeting.
What does Situations like this speak of the Great Nigeria?
In a country where democracy is supposed to exist we see party politics spearheading the leadership of a country.There are so many issues behind the events that took place today.
We begin by asking Who gave the police the information that hoodlums will invade the National Assembly? Was it necessary to use tear gas against the lawmakers? Even when the police saw the presence of the speaker, why was the gate still locked? Were the PDP and APC lawmakers locked out or Just the APC members? watch Video below

See Below the statement from the IGP, stating his reason forlocking the gates against the law makers....
Following an intelligence report of a likely invasion of the House of Representatives by hoodlums and thugs, the Nigeria Police Force promptly deployed its personnel to the premises to prevent a breakdown of law and order.
Consequently, the Police condoned the area and began screening of all members and visitors alike.In the course of this lawful exercise, Alh. Aminu Tambuwal CFR, arrived the venue with a motley crowd, who broke the cordon, assaulted the Police and evaded due process and the Police had the duty to restore order and normalcy, using lawful means
The IGP seizes this medium to warn all political actors and their followers to respect constituted authority and due process and to desist from the use of thugs to pursue their agenda.
The Nigeria Police shall continually apply all lawful means to prevent a breakdown of law and order in all segments of the society and shall apply the full weight of the law on any political actor who violates the peace and security of the nation.
