“Our party wholly dissociates itself from any act of brigandage and affront on the sacred symbols of our budding democracy.

“Our party remains a law abiding political organisation and advises every constituent part to abide by the tenets of our constitution and our democracy.

“Whilst our contention with the leadership of the National Assembly as currently constituted is a matter of public record, we still believe that the legislature as an independent arm of government must be allowed free reign,” it said.
