I feel extremely disturbed that the Kogi State House of Assembly has come under a very strange accident or attack at this moment.
This destruction if indeed intentional, is nothing but total affront on Democracy in our State. Any destruction or attack on legislative arm of government is an attack on the totality of the people of our State.
I therefore condemn wholeheartedly this heinous crime against the people of my State.
This is savagely taken to it’s extreme level and must be investigated without delay.
I hope that the police will pursue, arrest and prosecute the perpetrators, and also urge the Govt of Kogi to deploy all lawful measures to restore order throughout the entirety of the State!
I stand firmly by the authority in my State in the pursuit of good governance, but we must resist the temptation to seek self-help as we strive to unravel all mysteries concerning our commonwealth and accountability in our State.
