“Lawal Daura was following someone’s orders. Who is that person? Nigerians should ask that question.
“Even the acting President may not really know what is going on. We are waiting. 30 days and it begins now!” Bruce stated.

Recall the Senate President yesterday convened an emergency meeting of leadership NASS for Tuesday to touch on pressing national issues seeking the urgent attention of the NASS.
The officials were expected to meet for one hour beginning at noon, before also having a meeting with Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu, at 1 p.m.
The drama at the NASS complex yesterday meant that these meetings could not hold.
Men of the State Security Service (DSS) took over the NASS and prevented lawmakers, journalists and staff from entrance.
The DSS men who appeared battle ready took strategic positions at all the gates leading to the NASS premises.
