ACN Accuses President Jonathan Of Deceiving Nigerians On State Of Emergency In B by fkaz(m): 4:45pm On May 23, 2013
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of engaging in total deceit by saying the democratic structure in the states where he has declared a state of emergency will be kept intact, when in fact he has grabbed power in the states and castrated democracy there.
In a statement issued in Kaduna today by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party quoted from the President’s speech to the nation on May 14th, thus:”The details of this Proclamation will be transmitted to the National Assembly in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. But in the meantime, let me make it clear that within the purview of this Proclamation, the Governors and other political office holders in the affected states will continue to discharge their constitutional responsibilities.”
It however said the gazette published by the Federal Government on the declaration showed that the President has virtually eviscerated the democratic structure and stripped the political office holders of their constitutional responsibilities, thereby reversing the assurance he gave in his speech on the declaration.
ACN also warned that unless this despotic tendency is checked, nothing prevents the President, in the name of the ongoing fight against Boko Haram, from extending this power grab to other states that catch his fancy.
”This is dangerous and must be checked, in the interest of our democracy,” the party said.
ACN said that in accordance with the gazette, the Governors and Local Government Chairmen in the states under the state of emergency can only rule under the control of the President or anyone he so designates; the President is allowed to hold state funds; while the House of Assembly is now only a rubber stamp, as any order made under the emergency is deemed to be a law enacted by House.
The party said it (ACN) has now been vindicated for not only rejecting the proclamation, but for asking the National Assembly to study the proclamation well before approving it.
”Here is what we said in our statement of May 16th: ‘Truly understanding the proclamation will enable them to make aninformed decision when the issue is brought before them.’
”We also said that the state of emergency, which is essentially martial law, ‘has castrated democracy in the affected states, even though the democratic structures have been left largely intact’.Our warnings have now turned out to be prescient, a departure from the mass hysteria that greeted the declaration, a departure from the failure of all those who should have seriously scrutinized the
declaration.
”A nation justifiably angry over the senseless Boko Haram killings, but inexplicably overly exuberant at a time that calls for sober reflection, simply failed to see the booby traps in the state of emergency declaration. Predictably ever-acquiescing Senate went ahead to approve the declaration even before reading its provisions!
”But the House of Representatives, whose members are always standing by the people of Nigeria, carefully scrutinized the gazette and acted in the best interest of the people. We salute this great chamber and its truly honorable members. We urge them not to relent until they have succeeded in protecting democracy, even as the country fights the insurgents who have turned parts of our country into a killing field,” the party said
Meanwhile, the ACN has said that contrary to insinuations in certain quarters, it has not back-tracked from its rejection of the declaration of emergency rule in the three states.
The party also said it remains convinced that only a combination of a responsible use of force and dialogue – which some have tagged a carrot-and-stick approach – can resolve the Boko Haram crisis, and that the use of brute forcehas never totally resolved any insurgency anywhere.
”We do not need any lesson in patriotism and responsible opposition, because every action we have taken has been guided by patriotism and responsible opposition. Our interventions have never been based on cheap popularity but on rare courage and patriotism, and we will not relent in toeing this path,” it said.

mikeansy: I cant make sense of what Lai Mohamed is saying

Basically what Lai Mohammed is saying in essence is that President Goodluck Jonathan can theoretically over-rule the state house of assembly and withhold funds accrued to the states during "SOE" but in practice I do not see that happening except obviously the state Governor is found culpable of sponsoring BH activities, funding BH activities, sabotaging & jeopardizing JTF's effort and strategy. In the event of such happenings, the President can use emergency powers to side-step the 'state house of assembly' and stifle any funds given or accrued to the state government.

In the meantime means in the period of time between two events -*Gej declaration of SOE »»» and »»» its transmission/approval by the national assembly.*

So where did the president lied And I've mentioned this in one of my posts that those governors are lame ducks immediately SOE was declared. Their antecedents in the past have shown that they aint clean of BH insurgencies, though I've not seen the gazette but I won't be surprised if it deprive them of certain powers so as to make the operation more effective.

Moreover, Lai likewise termed nigerians acceptance of SOE as 'mass hysteria' and the senate of 'acquiescing' to the president, what an insult. This desperation for power at the centre has definitely blocked his sense of reasoning.

What a shame to ACN » APC, bunch of fake self professed progressives!

My people perish for lack of knowledge. They perish because they have failed to use their brain.

Can you tell me who will benefit from this boko haram insurgency politically? Gej or the opposition? If you can think for once about this, then you are getting to the root of the pepople behind this.

Note that Boko Haram will continue until 2015 purposely to castrate the north and kill opposition against PDP. The reason amnesty didn't work - I knew from day one amnesty will not work. The aim is 2015 and the killing, etc will continue until 2015.

A stable and peaceful north is a threat to some people.

This people are just showing how shambolic and uncordinated they are. They're making this claim meanwhile their party members in the national assembly voted overwhealmingly for it. If they had concerns why did'nt any of their lawmakers speak about it on the floors of the house or senate where it can have actual impact rather than lai mohammed having inconsequential press conferences without proof or backup from the affected state governments.

The ACN just keep proving their amatuerism. Doyin okupe and ruben abati can't belive their luck.

No doubt, ACN has been vindicated. Again the retardeen is on record to have lied on tv. ACN was able to see through the intents of Jonathan despite being heavily criticised. I was also slightly critical about the release but it seems they are right afterall.
Jonathan has proven once again that he is not to be trusted. U can still defeat evil boko without ur lies.
