Following Tuesday’s incident at the National Assembly, our investigations have now uncovered the sinister plot hatched by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki to foment violence in the legislative chamber all in a bid to stop his impeachment.
Our investigations uncovered and noted the following:
*We are now aware that the timely intervention of the security operatives forestalled the planned violence which could have led to possible deaths, injuries and destruction of property in the National Assembly on Tuesday.
*Why did the Senate President mobilise thugs to the National Assembly who almost lynched Hon. E.J. Agbonayinma, the only APC federal lawmaker present but for the timely intervention of security operatives.
*Why did the Senate President reconvene the National Assembly? Ostensibly as a pre-emptive move to frustrate federal lawmakers move to impeach him.
*Is it not curious that only Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) federal lawmakers were present in their numbers-some as early as 7am, while the majority APC federal lawmakers were elsewhere holding a caucus meeting on the state of the nation.
*We call on security agencies and relevant bodies to as a matter of urgency probe these findings and take all necessary and legitimate action to stop these illegalities which pose a direct and ominous threat to our democracy.
*As espoused in our earlier statement, 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 for vibrant contestation of ideas and values amongst its members within the context of their constitutional mandate and for the benefit of the Nigerian people.
Finally, we reiterate our call for the Senate President to resign from the position immediately as he no longer has the moral and legitimate ground to occupy that position as a member of the minority PDP. Going by the popular axiom, ‘the majority will have their way, but the minority will have their say’.

ReplyDeleteSaraki isn't above impeachment but things should be done democratically. APC don't know how politics is being played, the reason they keep getting it wrong. Politics is a game of reasoning and not threat and media rant. I still repeat, Oshomhole isn't a better politician and will only succeed in taking a wrong approach that will keep destroying the party.
DeleteUntil buhari resign. No other person should

DeleteI support you jor
DeleteYori with her bunch of brainwashed illiterates.
DeleteYou must think SARAKI means well for you.
SARAKI arranged the DSS drama.
- Have you forgotten that DSS and senate refused the confirmation of Magu?
- Have you forgotten that DSS stopped EFCC from picking up the NIA chief for questioning
- why wasn't the police (whose chief is obviously not in terms with SARAKI) not at the gate of the senate?
DSS has times without number shown to be working against this govt and all of a sudden you think, they OBEYED this govt to go block the senate gate.
SARAKI will soon be disgraced. His days are numbered
You must be an APC member or a a police man.See how you turned the story around to suit you. Always making up stories.
DeleteAnonymous 12:53 your head dey there
Delete13.24, I'm not a politician but a sane Nigerian with a functional brain. Does the Nigerian govt need DSS to prevent entry into the senate? What happened to the police? Why is it only PDP politicians that were at the gate as early as 6am? Is that how punctual they usually are? How many people defected from APC to PDP but there was no problem. Only Akpabio's defection instilled such fear cos they know he knows their secret.
DeleteMeanwhile the Akpabio Bruce said wanted to invade the senate was in Uyo.
They know what they have been doing to Nigerians and they felt Akpabio will do what they will typically do hence the agitation.
I'm not Akpabio's fan but anything to get SARAKI out of the way is fine by me. He is one of the reasons Buhari's govt is slow.
Buhari and Saraki should both resign

APC please shut up. 2019 should come already. Buhari after your win that's all. Who knew another election will come this quick? Abeg win make we hear word. We are used to the hardship. I watched Sunrise daily this morning the shame I felt for APC was an underStatement. Na una sabi!
ReplyDeleteYou must have watched it on your radio. Is it not the second sunrise I watched where the guy was so articulate and made a lot of sense??
DeleteHe made a lot of sense by behaving like you. Avoiding questions and asking journalist to put the blame on saraki. Was that why he was invited? You see I don't take sides with any idiotic politician who is there for himself. But you are shouting all over the post for individuals who don't want know you. It's obvious you don't know the difference between your anus and a hole in the ground.
