yesterday will forever live in infamy. I never
thought I would see the day when I would be
forced to go over the assembly gates where I
work to gain access into the chambers. But then
our democracy has to be saved.”
“It was pretty clear the presidency in spite of a
court injunction wanted to do something sinister
and illegal.”
“They perfected the plot to stop the Speaker and
the opposition leader from gaining entry. My
members were already in chambers waiting for
me to come in so as to provide leadership and
direction. Most of them had gone over the gate
too. I had to do the needful to save our
democracy.”
We thank God we foiled their evil machinations.
We will continue to be vigilant,”
