The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has called Nigerians to stand up and defend the nation’s democracy.

Governor Wike condemned the siege to the National Assembly by the officers of the Department of State Services (DSS), describing it as an assault on democracy.

In a statement by his Special Assistant on Electronic Media, Simeon Nwakaudu, “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.”

The governor challenged the National Assembly members to stand firm in defence of the nation’s democracy.

He said, “All members of the National Assembly should resist that anti-democratic attempt and stand-up to defend our democracy “.

The governor criticised his colleagues who are happy with the happenings at the National Assembly.

“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. ” Wike added.
