Wike On DSS Siege: The Governors Who Are Happy Today, It Will be Their Turn Tomorrow

"All members of the National Assembly should resist that anti-democratic attempt and stand up to defend our democracy. Those governors happy with what is happening today should know that it will be their turn tomorrow. The same cabal will turn against these governors," he said.

Nyesom Wike, Rivers State Governor, has condemned the siege on the National Assembly by the Department of State Services (DSS), urging Nigerians to rise up against the growing dictatorship of the All Proresives Congress (APC) Federal Government.

In statement signed Simeon Nwakaudu, his special assistant on electronic media, Wike said the assault on the National Assembly by security forces is condemnable and has the capacity to truncate the nation's democracy. 

He warned the governors who are happy about the development to know that it will be their turn tomorrow.

He said: "All well meaning Nigerians should stand up against this dictatorship.  All over the  world, this has never happened.

"Nigerians should not stand aloof and watch what is going on. This will consume so many  people if we don't rise against it," he said.

"All members of the National Assembly should resist that anti-democratic attempt and stand up to defend our democracy. Those governors happy with what is happening today should know that it will be their turn tomorrow. The same cabal will turn against these governors.

"This is condemnable and unacceptable to us. You must follow set down rules. You cannot talk about fighting corruption and refuse to respect the rule of law."
