The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned the Federal Government to desist from compounding illegality by inducing members of the House of Representatives to sign a paper seeking to reconvene the House ahead of the
Dec. 3rd adjourned date.
''We have heard from the grapevine that the FG is inducing legislators with a view to reconvening the House, but this will amount to piling illegality upon illegality since only a resolution by all principal officers of the House can reconvene
the house,'' the party said in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
''We cannot put anything beyond a government that will unlawfully withdraw the security details of the country's number four citizen, who has not been removed as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, simply because he decamped
from the ruling party to the opposition. For as long as he remains Speaker, Rt Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is entitled to all the statutory perks of his office,'' it said.
APC accused the Administration of President Goodluck Jonathan of ruling by vindictiveness, rather than in accordance with the rule of law.
The party said despotism, arbitrariness and impunity are the watch words of the Jonathan Administration, hence it has desecrated most national institutions, including the judiciary, and has now put the legislature in its cross hair.
''The legislature is one of the last standing institutions after the onslaught of the ravaging Jonathan Administration, which has nothing but contempt for the concept of the separation of powers, the rule of law and perception of the country by the international community.
''For this government, it is power for the sake of power, not for the achievement of anything ennobling. That is why the police and SSS details of a man who remains the country's number four can be removed without consideration to what the law says. That is why public funds will be used to induce lawmakers to sign for the reconvening of the House when it is clear that only the principal officers, and not even the Speaker alone, can reconvene the House before the adjourned date,'' it said.
APC said it would not be surprised if the lawless, vindictive and predictable Jonathan Administration will even prevent the Speaker from accessing his residential quarters, offices and even the planes in the official fleet for carrying out his official assignments.
''This President has said publicly that he does not give a damn. This Administration has shown clearly that it does not believe in the rule of law. Therefore it does not matter to the President or his Administration what the civilized world thinks of the country, as long as he can have his way, using all sorts of dirty tactics including unbridled corruption that is the hallmark of the Administration.
''We are therefore calling on all concerned citizens to condemn what is happening in our country today before one desperate power monger brings the country crashing down on all of us. This is because even if the Jonathan Administration is voted out of office next year, it will take a long time to reverse the harm that is being done to national institutions, which have become punitive tools in the
hands of an increasingly despotic leader,'' the party said
APC pls shut up...ndi araaaa

I didn't even bother to read through. I have, over time, realized that every position in Nigeria is like a pair of trousers. Each person wears it for two tenures before passing it on. Now, I don't get bothered, I just pray for whoever is wearing the trousers.
ReplyDeleteThen as usual ignorant youths everywhere be shouting:GEJ is d best!he must come back becos he's from south nigeria,smh
ReplyDeleteBut all I see is another african dictatorship govt forming slowly,:when a president can say he doesn't give a damn what even d intl community think!
When the security agencies only arrest and judiciary convicts based on orders from above!
When finances are withheld from the pple and jobs are given only based on whose side u are on politically just in a bid to coerce the pple to be loyal(loyality of hunger dou)!smh
When a whole party can be arm twisted to give ONE man a presidential ticket unopposed,everyone is cheering and clapping but behind closed door they are grumbling,but can't talk for fear....
Fear! Fear!Fear! Is gripping pple in every quarters!those are the signs!
This regime is tending slowly into a dictatorship regime,and before even it's loyalists and ignorant minions know what's happening,they can't handle it anymore,by then even they are enslaved!
....well may Our Great God not let this evils be established in our land!Amen

ReplyDeletePDP and their torn umbrella sha! GEJ is just a political bully. People like Amaechi fit him well.
ReplyDeleteThey should sort themselves out. Its their wahala.
ReplyDeleteAPC is an EVIL party, they don't mean well for Nigerians. SMH.
ReplyDeleteYou ppl shld go and read ur constitution well! Pdp made him a hse of reps member.he contested and won under the platform of d Pdp so if he doesn't want to be long to d Pdp anymore..He shld resign! He doesn't hav any moral justification to remain in d hse of reps..not even to talk abt being speaker.as 1 man rightly said on channels dis mrn, u cnt claim not to like dog meat and be kicking dog meat pepper soup! You cannot say u dnt want Mr X as ur father again n still b living in Mr X hse.fine, u now belong to apc, resign n contest again! U cnt eat ur cake n hav it
ReplyDeleteYou don't put someone in a position on the platform of a political party then expect him to remain there when he defects......defecting to APC simply means I now align myself to the ideals of the APC and will be loyal to it's cause.....we should stop beign unnecessarily sentimental in this country and do the right thing.....the only mistake of the Nigeria police in this matter is not taking it through the due process of the court.....the police is security for all and they should not be seen as loyal to any one party.....
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what APC is ranting about. The fact is that the constitution clearly states that when a member of the House decamps from the party on whose platform he was elected into office, he would be required to vacate his seat. Section 68.1, go and read it for yourselves. APC please just shut up. You're being ridiculous now.
ReplyDeletePDP leave Hon speaker alone. All I see is INTIMIDATION. God bless and SAVE Nigeria come 2015.
ReplyDeleteNigerians! Adamawa is on fire as we speak. I reside in yola(state capital of Adamawa). The terrorists have fully conquered and taken over mararaba, mubi,vintim,Michika-Madagali, uba, e.t.c. and Jonathan is busy strutting around collecting forms. Bloods are flowing freely, the dead are too numerous to count, millions are displaced from their homes, people sleep with one eye open yet Jonathan is going for another term in office. By d time dis man finishes with nigeria I wonder what will remain of us. Yet some hypocrite are coming out to back jonathan's re-election bid. The people supporting jonathan shall know no peace. Amen.
