APC Asks Jonathan To Restore Tambuwal'ssecurity Detail by Demichaels: 10:07pm On Oct 30, 2014 |
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to show better understanding of democracy by immediately restoring the police security details the Inspector General of Police unlawfully withdrew from the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal. According to a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party described the announcement of the withdrawal of the Speaker’s security details by the Inspector General of Police as a usurpation of the role of the judiciary by the Inspector General of Police especially bearing in mind that the question of the interpretation of Section 68(1)(g) of the Constitution on which the Inspector General of Police anchored his illegal act is currently before the courts for resolution. The party said for the avoidance of doubt, the position, including the manner a person becomes the Speaker of the House of Representatives is to be found in the Constitution, and no constitutional provision or legislation says membership of the ruling or dominant party in the House is a pre-requisite. “Furthermore, as the number four citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the security detail and apparatus attached to the person of the Speaker is not based on his lineage, person and or political leaning. It is on account of the position and the protection required for that position and in Nigeria’s best interest. “This unfortunate use and deployment of Nigeria’s security forces in a partisan and political way portends danger and further weakens important institutions of governance and jeopardizes national security. Under President Jonathan, we now have a Police Force that is monitoring and making conclusions with respect to party membership, qualification, of an otherwise elected official. This is unheard of in any decent democracy. “It is unfortunate that President Jonathan who had been a successive long term and unique beneficiary of our democracy and Constitution is now demonstrating the greatest disregard for the laws that govern and guide us as a people,” the statement says. President Jonathan who is the only individual who benefited from the same Constitution to become a Governor from a Deputy Governor without an election and from a Vice President to President in similar legal circumstances now desecrates the same Constitution. “The All Progressives Congress rejects this challenge to democracy and modern society. We reject President Jonathan’s illegality and call for respect and compliance with the law. We reject this meddling in the affairs of the Legislature especially given the resolution of President Jonathan and his close advisers yesterday at their meeting to ask the Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha to unlawfully reconvene the House before the adjourned date,” Lai Mohammed said. The statement also reminded President Goodluck Jonathan that under the House Rules, only a resolution by all principal officers of the House and not even the Speaker of the House can reconvene the House before the adjourned date not to talk of the Deputy Speaker. “Regrettably, the priority of President Goodluck Jonathan on the night that Mubi, a town with a population of about two million people in Adamawa state, fell to the Boko Haram insurgents was how to illegally remove the Aminu Tambuwal as the Speaker of the House of Representatives.” Follow NAIJ.COM on Twitter! |

APC and double standard Sometime last year when about 37 members of PDP defected to APC, dis same Liar Mohammed and his APC were shouting on top their voice that dey should produce de speaker since they are now in majority and PDP in minoritywith 171 vs 170 then. so pls wat are they now saying cos de last tym I checked, PDP has 204 members and APC less than 150. Therefore based on APC's position then, who should produce the speaker---apc or PDP? I hate double standard I like it when I can identify with ur position on issues and u do not waiver. u can't be talking from both sides of the mouth. 1 Like |

I hope Jonathan's butt-lickers are telling him about the development in Burkina Suffer, sorry Burkina Faso. Jonathan and the puppet acting I.G. have withdrawn the security details of one of the heads of the legislative arm of government of the country. If the Army withdraws Jonathan's security details and locked him up in his house the way Shehu Sagari was locked up, or push him aside the way Ernest Shonekan was pushed away make nobody cry blood ooo. The first lady already called herself a widow some years back, I hope the power in her tongue is not about to manifest. |
