Threat To Withdraw Support From Buhari: APC Replies PDP Senators by OKDnigeria: 12:28am On Jun 23, 2016 |
The All Progressives Congress has asked senators of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party to face their legislative business and come to terms with the reality that they cannot determine how the Buhari administration fights corruption. The APC, via a statement signed by its National Secretary, Mala Buni on Wednesday, said this in response to the PDP Senators’ declaration of suspension of support for President Muhammadu Buhari’s government. The PDP senate caucus, earlier on Wednesday, said its position followed “belligerent attitude” of the APC government towards the opposition members, alleging bias in Mr. Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign. But APC said PDP lawmakers should rather face their lawmaking business in the interest of the nation. “The attention of the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a statement credited to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senate Caucus stating that the Caucus has withdrawn its support for the government of President Muhammadu Buhari over the administration’s hugely successful war against corruption,” the statement said. “The PDP Caucus must be reminded of their primary responsibility of lawmaking and representation of their constituents at the National Assembly. The APC advises the PDP Senate Caucus not to allow political shenanigans to becloud overall national interest. “For the umpteenth time, the PDP and their agents do not have the luxury of dictating how the current administration and anti-corruption agencies carries out its legitimate duty of investigating and prosecuting cases of corruption, as long as it conforms to the rule of law.” On allegations of selective prosecution of the anti-corruption war, the APC asked the PDP to approach anti-graft agencies with petitions against anybody suspected to have indulged in corrupt practices. “The PDP Caucus allegations of a selective anti-corruption fight and “belligerent” stance of the current administration is hogwash and baseless,” Mr. Buni said. “If the PDP and its agents have proof of corruption against anybody, the APC advises that they approach anti-graft agencies constitutionally mandated to handle such cases instead of declaring innocence on newspaper pages and other media outlets.” Further, the ruling party urged anti- corruption agencies “not to be stampeded and blackmailed by this new plot and continue to employ all legitimate avenues in investigating and prosecuting ongoing corruption cases.” The statement added that, “The generality of Nigerians clamour for all looters of public funds to be brought to book. The APC assures Nigerians that the political will and sincerity of purpose of the current administration to tackle corruption remains resolute.” www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/205773-face-legislative-duties-cant-determine-buhari-fights-corruption-apc-replies-pdp-senators.html |

This is arrogant ignorance... What they don't know is dat it's not only PDP senators dat are involved. In dis matter of trying to change d leadership d senate through d back door, many APC senators will queue behind their PDP counterparts in supporting Saraki & Ekweremadu. If APC pushes dis matter too far, it may consume d party, and/or Buhari. By d time they realize what is happening only Remi Tinubu will be left on d side of APC. They shld thread carefully... 4 Likes |
