    What's going on with Nigeria's parliament? 🤔 Scenes from last week looked like a coup, with masked gunmen blocking access. Months earlier, a ceremonial mace was stolen by intruders. Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani looks at the heroes and villains ➡ https://bbc.in/2P5nrGL pic.twitter.com/JXsdv8lAIq

        Buhari and his APC party has bastardized our hard fought democracy all in quest to retain power against the people wish. Economy in recession, insecurity and deaths, poverty, flaunting of court rulings etc characterized his administration

        Direct your question to Muhammadu Buhari who apparently is British Government's Governor General in Nigeria. Buhari is underming Nigeria's democracy on the advice of Britain. He has muscled the judiciary to submission and cowardice and is trying the same tactics on the parliament
