expressed disgust at members of House of Representatives who jumped
over the National Assembly gate.
Rev Alfred Martins told News Agency of Nigeria that;
"It gives us a lot of concern that the officials of the National
Assembly have to climb the fence in order to arrive at what is
supposed to be a hallowed chamber.
"It's, indeed, a disgrace to the whole nation; it's a real disgrace
to the whole process of governance as represented in the legislative
arm of government.
"And I think that whatever it is that lead to it should not have
happened at all because it doesn't give us confidence that the
security forces are going to get right the whole process of elections
that are forthcoming next year.
"Legislators should recognise their dignity as legislators, and
therefore whatever it is that is disagreement among them should not go
to such an extent.
"They are representing the whole nation as well as individual citizens
within Nigeria.
"And herefore, whatever their disagreements are they should not in any
way let it go to this kind of extent that we saw. I think that, that
portends a lot of danger for the nation."
