The All Progressives Congress (APC)
has accused the President of the
Senate, Bukola Saraki of engaging
in legislative rascality and sabotage
of the executive arm of
government.
In a statement issued yesterday by
its acting National Publicity
Secretary, Yekini Nabene, the ruling
party also accused Saraki and the
main opposition party of trying to
hide under the yet-to-be assented
Electoral Act Amendment bill not to
reconvene the National Assembly
plenary.
..
...
In a swift response, the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) described
the claims as blackmail incapable of
swaying Nigerians.


On its readiness for elections, APC
boasted that if elections were to be
held today, its candidates would
win by a landslide, “judging by
visible and landmark achievements
recorded by the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led
administration.”
,
,
The APC said: “While we strongly
condemn the abuse of office by the
Senate President backed by his PDP
cohorts in sabotaging the
executive, specifically the INEC, all
well-meaning Nigerians have a
duty to speak up and ensure that
the National Assembly performs its
constitutional role and not serve an
individual’s personal interest and
sinister ends of the opposition, PDP.
.
.
“We call on all Nigerians, civil
society and indeed the
international community to resist
the ongoing travesty and
legislative rascality being
perpetrated by the Senate
President and the PDP.”
.
.
While statin that the National
Assembly must be convened
immediately, the ruling APC
accused the PDP of attempting to
draw attention away from the
treasonable actions of the Saraki,
“who has refused to convene the
National Assembly to consider at
plenary, the crucial 2019 Election
Budget of the Independent
National Electoral Commission
(INEC).”
The party said that as far as it is
concerned, the Electoral
Amendment Bill passed by the
National Assembly was alive and
awaiting assent.
However, it noted that assent to
bills in all democratic governments
reflects the prudence and discretion
of the president in balancing the
powers of key constitutional bodies
and understanding the concerns of
the executive.
“The sanctity of our electoral
system is being threatened by the
orchestrated sabotage and
deliberate attempt to weaken INEC
as we prepare for General Elections
in 2019”, the APC warned.

.
.
.
Meanwhile, the PDP said “the resort
to blackmail, twisting of facts and
fabrications by the All Progressives
Congress (APC) cannot sway
Nigerians from the truth of their
culpability in the impasse at the
National Assembly.”
.
.
In a statement issued by its
National Publicity Secretary Kola
Ologbondiyan, the party said [b]“Nigerians are already aware of
how the APC had been frustrating
the National Assembly by creating
hitches, illegal impeachment
processes, physical blockage of the
National Assembly access and
besieging of the official residence
of Senate President and his deputy.
“Nigerians know those who set
security agents after the National
Assembly members, set
parliamentarians against one
another and have been chasing
lawmakers around the country
with tons of money as bribe, just to
illegally change the leadership.”
PDP accused APC of pretending not
to remember that the Buhari
Presidency deliberately kept the
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) budget
submitted to it since February till
July when it presented it to the
National Assembly and curiously
demanded that the fund be vired
from the constituency project fund
of lawmakers.
.
.
“Nigerians will recall that as a
patriotic and responsible party, the
PDP raised the flag and pointed out
that bringing the budget in July, at
the time the National Assembly
was already going on annual
vacation, was rather late and
asking that the fund be vired from
constituency project fund was
sinking the INEC budget and the
entire 2019 electoral process in a
needless controversy. The APC and
the Buhari Presidency ignored this
wise counselling.
.
.
“Furthermore, the APC in it
deception fails to note that Nigerians are aware that it is President Buhari that is holding the nation to ransom by refusing to sign the Electoral Act Amendment bill, already passed by the National Assembly, just because the amendment checked the machination which APC intend to deploy to rig the 2019 general elections,”[/b] it said.

Saraki is the description of the cat with 9 lives. He's too big for APC. I'm just waiting for two weeks to come. Some people in this forume need to be made to eat their words. Heartless people who have sold their souls for a mere 30k.

Wiseandtrue:
This is exactly how to identify a government who has NOTHING to OFFER! Blame, Blame, Blame and Blame! After Saraki's saga that is if they ever get past it, they will still find someone to blame for their failures!

You mind this silly, senseless & useless APC government

Why can't Apc look at pressing national needs instead of saraki this saraki that. Since oshiomole came on board everything he think abt is saraki.
