He said “ We have seen the enemies of democracy, the cabal that is ready to destroy democracy in Nigeria, the governors that are ganging up today trying to frustrate what the national Assembly is proposing by asking President Muhammad Buhari, not to assent to the bill. I think they are the greatest enemy of democracy in Nigeria”.

“Because they have planted their cabal, they have planted their surrogate; they have planted their boys to take over, they want to bring a goat to come and lead lions and we say no”.

Reuben urged President Buhari to go ahead and sign the new Act as passed by the National Assembly despite the pressures against it.

“He should know that this is the biggest legacy he is going to bequeath to Nigerians. It is the cry of all Nigerians that democracy should be free and transparent”.
