Senator Abu Ibrahim from Katsina
South Senatorial District, has said the mace snatching incident at the Senate
was a blessing in disguise.
He said the invasion of the
Senate by thugs has provided an opportunity for lawmakers to reassess the
security structure at the National Assembly.
The lawmaker stated this while
addressing State House Correspondents.
Ibrahim said Nigeria’s National
Assembly is the most insecure in the world.
He said, “Everywhere I have gone
around the world, every national assembly has good security. You cannot just go
in, you cannot just access officers but the case is different here.
“If you go to our offices in the
national assembly here, like in my office yesterday, there were over sixty
people waiting who I did not have appointment with. So, this has influenced us
to sit down and critically examine the security at the national assembly
itself.
“Secondly, we sat in an executive
session as senators and asked ourselves pertinent questions of what happened
and why. We actually told ourselves the truth and even pointed culprits in what
led to this. We came out with the promise that everyone of us will support and
abide by the provisions of the constitution, our rules in the national assembly
… this is therefore the benefit of the crisis which happened two days ago, if I
can call it so.
“So, I still assure Nigerians
that the national assembly has come out of this crisis better, much more united
and much more focused.”
