Reno Omokri, a former aide to the
immediate past President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has stated that what the
Nigerian police should have done after attacking the Senate President, Bukola
Saraki and others on Friday was to issue a public apology to them.
There were reports on Friday that
Saraki, Senator Dino Melaye; Senator Ben Bruce; Governor Aminu Tambuwal; Sule
Lamido and many other top shots of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, were
teargassed by the police at the headquarters of the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC.
The Senator representing Bayelsa
East, Ben Murray Bruce had alleged that police attacked leaders and members of
PDP, who were protesting against the outcome of the Osun State Governorship
election at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) in Abuja.
Leaders of the opposition party
among whom were Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; and the
National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, led the protesters to INEC
office after they had earlier converged at the national headquarters of the PDP
in Abuja.
Also among the protesters were
Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State; former Niger State Governor and
presidential aspirant, Sule Lamido; and Senator Dino Melaye, among others.
They had gone to demand that the
electoral umpire declare PDP candidate, Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the
Osun election.
Omokri said the police should
have issued a statement of apology to the politicians instead of summoning some
of them.
Omokri wrote, “After teargassing
the Senate President, chairman of @OfficialPDPNig and opposition members like
@benmurraybruce and co, I would have thought the @PoliceNG would have issued a
public apology.
“Instead they issued a public
summons for the men to surrender themselves.”
