REACTION TO THE ATTACK ON THE SPEAKER AND THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY IN ABUJA BY APC NATIONAL LEADER, BOLA AHMED TINUBU

By deploying hundreds of police officers to prevent the Speaker of the House of Representatives from entering the National Assembly Complex, the President has revealed his hand to be a devious one. Having asked the Speaker to convene the House to consider extending the state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states, the Jonathan government then deployed the nation’s police to stop the fourth ranking citizen of the nation from entering his place of work.

Speaker Tambuwal was going to the House as a result of the letter from the Presidency on a matter of urgent national importance. Tambuwal did not have to accede to the presidential request to reconvene the House; but because he is a statesman and not a political hack, he assented so his chamber might consider this a matter of vital national importance. Despite the removal of the police officers and security team around him, he still proceeded – at great personal risk – to answer the call of duty. He took the risk, believing his personal situation was a secondary thing when the fate of the nation comes into question.

The President and his men have their handwriting all over the invasion of the National Assembly. No Commissioner of Police will ever embark on such an action without the clearance of the Inspector General of Police and no IGP will order his men out here without approval by the Presidency. Nigerians know where the buck stops. The Jonathan Presidency must take full responsibility for the attack on the leadership of the National Assembly.

This government cannot claim to be unaware of what the Police would do. This gangster’s antic occurred almost at their doorstep. The Jonathan presidency can no longer play ignorant regarding the noxious things done for partisan ends.

Instead of seriously treating Boko Haram’s incursion against our internal security, the President’s men decided to turn the event into a partisan and embarrassing circus. Perhaps they saw this as a birthday present to Mr. President. But it is nothing but brigandage masquerading as governance. What this Presidency does not realize is how terribly it has exposed its pettiness and dictatorial penchant for elevating narrow political interests above the fate of the nation.

There is little wonder the nation is losing ground to Boko Haram. This government has allowed, and even welcomed, the downward slide. If seriously committed to breaking the spine of this insurgency, the Jonathan government would have ensured that the House met without disturbance or partisan rancor. Instead, Jonathan and his men used the gravest armed threat the nation has suffered in forty years to lay a partisan political trap for one single man, instead allowing the House to deliberate for the good of 170 million people hoping for a way out of the growing carnage. The conduct of the Presidency shows that whenever dire national interests conflict with that of individual ambitions, the former will be rejected to violently promote the latter. The priorities of the Jonathan Presidency are as wrong as wrong can get. Their actions are devoid of national purpose. They reek of pungent ambition. A weakness of character now permeates national leadership.

This Presidency leaves the nation’s grave problems unattended yet have the rashness to create new ones by trashing the nation’s democratic institutions and mocking constitutional checks and balances. The most notable achievement of the Jonathan government has been to bring democracy to its knees. This is not the hallmark of a President but the work of a potentate.

While enjoying the taste of this cheap tactical victory, it is hoped Nigerians and the international community are sampling the bigger picture. In trying to quash the opposition by all means necessary, this government unleash forces they do not even recognize let alone control.

Thus, Nigerians are in a precarious situation. In the face of the menace of Boko Haram’s terror and rampage, members of the loyal opposition have extended the hand of cooperation to this government often and without condition. We have provided suggestions on fighting the group and winning the hearts and minds of the people. Had the Jonathan government taken these suggestions, things would not be as they are today. This government scoffed at our help. Even when the Speaker answered the call of duty, as a patriot should, Jonathan and his men were more concerned with setting an ambush for him than in resolving the serious matter at hand. For them, the only serious matter, was their political standing.

While the opposition has been loyal to the nation, Jonathan and the PDP led government have not. This is the point of our greatest departure from the course.

The Jonathan Presidency is a government that has lost its head. This government has run amok and has jettisoned all sense of proportion. The nation now faces two threats. One is Boko Haram’s attack on the people. The other is the Presidency’s attack on the people’s democracy. As such, a state of emergency now exists in Abuja, in Aso Villa itself, because of this breakdown of democratic governance. Jonathan and his men are the reason for the state of emergency. It seems that the only way this emergency shall be lifted is for this government to perpetuate itself in office. The removal of this government from office shall not be done with military power, armed might or police brutality. Their ouster will come from a nobler source; the power of the people and their want for democratic good governance.

It seems your problems also include COMPREHENSION of the English language.
Please point out where you got the impression that the presidency does not know "where the Order to" prevent violence and maintain law & order at the scheduled meeting of "the Legislative Arm of Government came (PAST TENSE) from".

I will strongly advise you to refrain from exhibiting signs of stupidity when posting here as I will not hesitate to point them out.

So you don't even know that apart from the Army, Airforce and Navy, the Police is part of the units Jonathan Preside over as Commander in Chief?

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is designated by Section 194 of the 1979 constitution as the national police of Nigeria with exclusive jurisdiction throughout the country. Constitutional provision also exists, however, for the establishment of separate NPF branches "forming part of the armed forces of the Federation or for their protection of harbours, waterways, railways and airfields." One such branch, the Port Security Police, was reported by different sources to have a strength in 1990 of between 1,500 and 12,000.

Stop being clever-by-half. The president is charge of everything in the country subject to the checks & balances of the legislative & judiciary. His role as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces if for the territorial integrity of the country against external aggression hence the soldiers, who are members of the Armed Forces, are under the Ministry of Defence.

The Police force on the other hand is for law enforcement and has never been part of the Ministry of Defence.
Your quote from Wikipedia is very dubious =>

as it does not state what & where the EXACT provisions are unlike the first sentence of the same paragraph =>

I am sure & certain that you can and will provide that part of our constitution that designates the Police force as part of the Armed Forces

Moreover the SMUGGLING of any section of the police to be part of the Armed Forces could only reflect the LAWLESSNESS that has characterized our corporate existence as a country for so many decades under military DICTATORSHIP who were always PRETENDING to be know-all, do-all messiahs when they were the demon himself

As FURTHER evidence of that lawlessness, you may wish to find out how the role of the Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC has grown and evolved beyond its initial designation largely because OBJoke's close friend was the Commandant General at some point.

Hopefully the gradual TRANSFORMATION of our country by the Jonathan/Sambo duo will also untangle this cobweb of mixed authorities for our security in due course!
