A member of National Executive Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Issa Aremu, has condemned the invasion of the Senate and disruption of plenary by unknown persons on Wednesday.

Comrade Aremu said: “An injury to the National Assembly is an injury to the nation’s democracy.”

He said the federal government’s probe of the invasion should be prompt and conclusive with the objective of prevention of future acts.

The Labour leader said the unfortunate event was a rude awakening to all for good governance with respect to security of lives and property as contained in 1999 constitution. 

Comrade Aremu said while nothing could justify thuggery at the Senate, the leadership of the National Assembly must also stop criminalizing dissenting views of democratically-elected members.
