PDP Condemns House Fracas, Accuses Buhari Of Bias by Nobody: 3:39pm On Jun 25, 2015
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has condemned as a show of shame and national embarrassment, Thursday’s fracas by disgruntled All Progressives Congress, APC, members in the House of Representatives, saying the ugly development brings to question, President Muhammadu Buhari and his party’s commitment to democracy, unity and the stability of the country.

The PDP said the “disgraceful” act is a direct consequence of President Buhari’s lack of democratic credentials to reign in his party to respect the independence and sanctity of the legislative arm of government, the very citadel of democracy, as enshrined in the nation’s constitution.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement on Thursday said “the barbaric attempt to physically assault a duly elected Speaker, seize the mace, the authority of the House, is a direct attack on the Nigerian parliament which embodies the supremacy of the people and our freedom as a democratic nation”.

The party said what Nigerians witnessed in the House on Thursday clearly underscores the fact that the APC has exhausted its excuses and has now imported its internal contradictions into an independent arm of government as a way to further cover its lack of ideas for governance.
It alerted that intelligence available to it shows that “the brawling APC lawmakers ostensibly acted on instructions from the Presidency, an obvious indication that President Buhari is largely an interested party whose involvement is beyond mere body language”.

The PDP said the dishonorable conduct from the unruly APC lawmakers in acting out the script did not come to it as a surprise given that they are bred and nurtured under a political platform that lacks discipline and thrives on violence as an unwritten manifesto.

“We state unequivocally that the onus lies on President Buhari to ensure that all democratic institutions are harnessed for effectiveness, a responsibility he has apparently abdicated by allowing his personal interest to instigate division in the parliament, a tendency that poses great threat to the survival of our democracy and the stability of the nation”.

The PDP said the continued confusion in the APC-led government is a confirmation of its earlier stand that the APC lacks the capacity and democratic discipline to effectively steer the ship of nation and face the challenges of governance at the center.

“If a party that has since March 28, 2015 when it got its victory, about 90 days ago, cannot resolve a basic issue of selecting its leadership in the National Assembly, clearly, their competence for national governance comes to question”, the PDP stated.

The PDP however applauded Speaker Yakubu Dogara for his comportment especially his statesmanly remarks after the unfortunate incident and urged him to continue to display maturity and not yield any ground in his duties to protect the independence of the legislature.

Finally, the PDP commended all its members (past and present) in the House of Representatives for their maturity and dignifying conduct in line with the ideals of its founding fathers on democracy built on peace and unity.

PDP should not worry themselves, dogara and saraki in the next couple of weeks,will announce their defection to PDP.For olisa metuh to drag pmb into this matter,shows that is perhaps suffering from an undisclosed mental ailment. It is on record, that it is non direct involvement of pmb in this matter,that has lead it to degenerate to this level.

Buhari stated it on several occasions, that he won't interfere in the matters of the National Assembly. Now they are accusing him of interference? What on earth are they talking about? PDP is confused, and don't know what to criticize anymore.

When the various states houses of assembly elected their principal officers, did the state party chapters tell them who to select? The more APC tries to claim party supremacy, the more things spoil

The desperation of the President Buhari from Daura and his co-travellers in the anarchist party called APC has just got to another crescendo.. APC should as a matter of honour swallow her bitter pills, accept defeat and restrategise. By their actions more Nigerians can see through the prism of their hypocrisy as a people whose only uniting interest was gnashing power from Jonathan without having an enduring love for another hence the clash of interest. Now that things are falling apart, the centre got to find a hold but can that ever be again? After the events of recent time.. I hope this change is not a scam?

Imagine the trash coming from that damned Wadata Plaza. Isn't this what PDP had always wanted?? If this wasn't what they craved so badly, why their shameful connivance with Saraki and Dogara to subvert the will of their party??

Now they wanna turn around and blame Buhari for this- oh I see, they would rather have him tear-gas them the same way their democracy hero and icon did when things appeared to have turned against him in the same House last year.

What a pity.

As a Nigerian studying in the UK, I am always continously disgraced by these sort of news from my country.

The members of the national assembly are supposed to be the elites of the society, yet many SUG have more.decorum than them.

If folks like this are at the helm of affairs, there is no hope for Nigerians.

PDP should just shut up. During their time from 1999, wasn't the national assembly more dramatic than what's happening in this 8th national assembly?
