Last Tuesday, Honorable Aminu had recalled members of the Lower Chamber from recess to consider President Goodluck Jonathan's request for extension of emergency rule in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States.

However, on his arrival at the National Assembly. security operatives had taken over the National Assembly complex, a move seen as aimed at preventing the Speaker from gaining access to preside over the special session.

When the security operatives would not allow his vehicles in, the Speaker abandoned his vehicle and walked from the gate towards the Chamber in company of some lawmakers. At this point, the police released teargas, causing pandemonium as lawmakers including Senators scampered for safety.

Reacting to this development, the speaker of Kwara State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Razak Atunwa described the action of the police as a case of lawmakers versus law breakers. Atunwa who spoke through his twitter handle ( @Atunwa_1 ) said

"The police conduct at the #NASS today is a national disgrace. GEJ should bury his head in shame! He's not fit to be President.

Further speaking, Atunwa said "Today at the #NASS was a case of Lawmakers vs Law-breakers (Police). Laying siege on the Legislature is the height of lawlessness. It's the beginning of descent to anarchy."

Prior to adjourning plenary for one month on October 28, Tambuwal had formally announced his defection to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).
