The All Progressives Congress (APC) has exercised a U-turn in its position on the development at the National Assembly on Tuesday.

State Security Service (SSS) operatives were joined by police officers to prevent lawmakers from accessing the parliament for several hours on Tuesday morning.

Following widespread media attention and outrage from Nigerians, as well as attempts by furious lawmakers to break into the premises, the security agents ultimately allowed access to the National Assembly. But the access was only granted to serving lawmakers. All other members of staff at the National Assembly, as well as journalists and other independent observers were denied entry.

The siege lasted until late afternoon when SSS operatives stood down after receiving reports that Acting President Yemi Osinbajo did not authorise the deployment and had fired the director-general of the secret police, Lawal Daura, as a consequence.

The APC joined other individuals, groups and even foreign diplomatic missions to condemn the attack on Tuesday night.

The party described the security agencies’ action at the time as an “unfortunate invasion” and dissociated itself from “any act of brigandage and affront on the sacred symbols of our budding democracy.”

But this morning, another statement came in from the party, which essentially contradicted its position yesterday. The party said Mr Saraki was the one who orchestrated the plot, and that security agencies only moved in to prevent any outbreak of violence.

The APC statements, the first at 6:41 p.m. on Tuesday and the second at 8:02 a.m. on Wednesday are reproduced respectively as follows:

APC Condemns National Assembly Invasion

The All Progressives Congress (APC) condemns in strongest terms, today’s unfortunate invasion of the National Assembly by security forces. Our Party wholly dissociates itself from any act of brigandage and affront on the sacred symbols of our budding democracy.

Our Party remains a law abiding political organisation and advises every constituent part to abide by the tenets of our constitution and our democracy.

Whilst our contention with the leadership of the National Assembly as currently constituted is a matter of public record, we still believe that the legislature as an independent arm of government must be allowed free reign for vibrant contestation of ideas and values amongst its members within the context of their constitutional mandate and for the benefit of the Nigerian people.

We call for a more harmonious working relationship between the various Arms of Government in the general interest of the country.

How Security Operatives Stopped Saraki’s Plan to Foment Violence over Impeachment

Following Tuesday’s incident at the National Assembly, our investigations have now uncovered the sinister plot hatched by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki to foment violence in the legislative chamber all in a bid to stop his impeachment.

Our investigations uncovered and noted the following:

We are now aware that the timely intervention of the security operatives forestalled the planned violence which could have led to possible deaths, injuries and destruction of property in the National Assembly on Tuesday.

Why did the Senate President mobilise thugs to the National Assembly who almost lynched Hon. E.J. Agbonayinma, the only APC federal lawmaker present but for the timely intervention of security operatives.

Why did the Senate President reconvene the National Assembly? Ostensibly as a pre-emptive move to frustrate federal lawmakers move to impeach him.

Is it not curious that only Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) federal lawmakers were present in their numbers-some as early as 7am, while the majority APC federal lawmakers were elsewhere holding a caucus meeting on the state of the nation.

We call on security agencies and relevant bodies to as a matter of urgency probe these findings and take all necessary and legitimate action to stop these illegalities which pose a direct and ominous threat to our democracy.

As espoused in our earlier statement, whilst our contention with the leadership of the National Assembly as currently constituted is a matter of public record, we still believe that the legislature as an independent arm of government must be allowed free reign for vibrant contestation of ideas and values amongst its members within the context of their constitutional mandate and for the benefit of the Nigerian people.

Finally, we reiterate our call for the Senate President to resign from the position immediately as he no longer has the moral and legitimate ground to occupy that position as a member of the minority PDP. Going by the popular axiom, ‘the majority will have their way, but the minority will have their say’.

Retaards in position of power. Saraki controls the DSS I laugh in Swahili.

Minjim:
Pdp and propaganda
Nass is on recess and Pdp called only his
senators to reconvene unknown to Apc senators.
But for the quick intervention of the Security
Operative that prevented them from conveying to
impeach Pmb .
Now , look at them wailing " democracy is at
risk."

Modified

The narrative above was my assumption of the occurrences that took place earlier today.
However flawed it may seem, what actually were the Pdp Senators (only) doing at the Nass when they ought to be on recess ?

They claimed there was a
Plot to impeach Bukola Saraki, so were APC
Senators allowed inside & PDP
locked out?


Be that as it may, thank God for the decisive action of the Acting President

Your first narrative shows how biased and warped your mindset is. Analyse politics objectively but I doubt you would cos you've just shown your preferences indirectly.

The 4th line of your statement shows clearly how you reason. What's the business of the earth in this? Don't let hatred cloud your sense of judgement and discernment.

CyynthiaKiss:
Nobody is against you dabbling into a political abyss, but dragging igbos along is when you are going to receive the insults and bashing you never expected.

You are free to campaign for Buhari like some other lunatiiics, but hiding under " Igbo presidency" to campaign for Buhari"s second tenure by shouting
"Vote Buhari and get Igbo presidency" won't be allowed. That blackmail won't work !

Buhari doesn't have key to the success of Igbos. Igbos have faced the worst in the past, they have moved on and surpassed all in every ramification.
Go back to the recent report released three months ago.... SE & SS have the least poverty rate in Nigeria.
Northerners have produced more heads of states, but the survival of their masses lies on the Int. donors.
Majority of these A.P.C " Igbo presidency chanters" are aware that Buhari is a failure, some of them are ashamed of campaigning for Buhari openly, hence hiding under " Igbo presidency" to campaign for a terrorist for a second tenure.

Telling Igbos to support Buhari is like indirectly telling them to support the killings that is going on in this country..

Igbos know how they can get what they want, but no through Buhari who could not help himself in 2003, 2007 and 2011 until SW and NC that have deserted him today came for his rescue in 2015.
What more can I say other than a big congratulation to Kenneth Okonkwo while heading to a political Golgotha.

You deserve a big hug and more.

Sir, Your Narrative Doesn't Leave Us All Astonished. Same Scenario Played Out In Benue And Sokoto States And Only Men Of Integrity Like You Could Witstand The Temptation From The Inducement Loots That Are Being Exhumed From GEJ's Backyard Following The Monumental Mismanagement Of Public Funds From His Regime.

Albeit, One Thing Is Clear. APC AND MR PRESIDENT Remains Obliged To The Cleansing Operations They Were Mandated By Nigerians To Carry Out. And No Amount Of Criticisms, Dispensation Of Fake News, Ungrouping And Regrouping Of Political Miscreants Would Pose Any Threat To The Ongoing Reformation Process In Our Great Country.
GOD BLESS APC!!!

Selective cleansing you mean.

ICC denies rating Buhari on integrity
by Abiodun Alade



The International Criminal Court (ICC) has denied claim that it invited President Muhammadu Buhari as its keynote speaker during its 20th anniversary because he had the highest rating on integrity.



A lawmaker, Abdulmumin Jibrin in an interview on a national television in July claimed that the ICC invited Buhari as its keynote speaker, because he is the only president, that achieved the highest indices on integrity in a check carried out by security agencies from twenty European countries and the United States of America on both serving and former African leaders.



This message was paraphrased by supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to read ‘Buhari showed me a document he brought back from ICC, Hague. A top-secret Background Check on Global leaders, past and present. He is the only leader rated XXX1 on Integrity, the Highest Rating Globally. That’s why he is the only World Leader on the ICC floor to address them - Abdulmumin Jibrin, APC Kano’.



The post was shared on social media platforms by loyalists of the president, including Lauretta Onochie, Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media.



But ICC spokesperson, Fadi El Abdallah in an email exchange via the Public Affairs unit of the court said “The International Criminal Court (“ICC” or the “Court”) is not involved in any integrity or background check of world leaders,”


He added that it has been standard practice for the ICC to invite Heads of State one at a time for certain high-level events, such as anniversary commemorations but also the opening of the judicial year, adding that “this is because of logistical and protocol reasons involved in hosting dignitaries at that level”.



He also disclosed that other heads of state have been invited and have participated in high level events organised by the Court in the past, stressing that President Buhari was invited as keynote speaker for the commemorations of the 20th anniversary.


El Abdallah said President Buhari was not the only leader invited to the event but that ‘Nigeria was the only State represented by its President’.


He added that more than 30 other States were represented at the level of national Senates and Parliaments chiefs, as well as Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Justice.



The presidency declined to confirm or refute the claim.
‘Ask the man who told you,’ the spokesman of the president, Femi Adesina said.


We have reached out to Jibrin to clarify his claim and tell us his source but no response yet.
Onochie has also refused to response to questions about the claim she shared.

Good advice.

Only corrupt and Lazy youths support them.

Meekdon:
The Presidency, Thursday night denied allegation by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, that President Muhammadu Buhari’s planned 10-days leave to London was a plot to impeach
the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

The presidency in a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu in Abuja, said Buhari is a democrat that does not indulge in any unconstitutional and illegal act.
In the statement titled “Nigerians don’t believe PDP anymore” called on the opposition party to proffer solutions to issues in the country rather than ‘cry wolf’

The statement read: “Claims by the failing Peoples Democratic Party that President Muhammadu Buhari had taken a token a 10-day leave in order to leave the stage for illegal and unconstitutional actions by the administration are both ridiculous and a hollow narrative to garner cheap sympathy.

“That the President, himself a sworn democrat had handed power to his deputy without compulsion is itself exemplary and innovative, something that the PDP failed to produce in their sixteen years of monumental mismanagement and sadistic plunder.

“For the benefit of the doubters, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, the Vice President who acts in the absence of the President is a lawyer of the highest rank and a social rights crusader who had received local and international acclaim before he took the president office.
“It is inconceivable that this is the team to copy the bad manners cast in stone in the PDP.

“We welcome objective criticism and take them seriously and humbly, but Nigerians must by now be tired of a party, the stock in trade of which is to cry wolf where there is none, ostensibly to spread negativity and distract the President’s attention from the cleansing operations he has been mandated carry out.

“The President is carrying out difficult reforms for the future growth of the country, such as the implementation of the ease of doing business, the Treasury Single Account, TSA, the whistleblower process, and hundreds of others, including the massive investment in rail, roads and power.

“If such reforms had happened in 16 years of the PDP, it would have made things much better for the country. “Instead, they seem to be fixated with a desperate quest for power, nothing but power for its own sake because they have nothing to offer. They draw a sadistic pleasure when things appear to be going wrongly, yet they offer nothing by way of remedy or solutions.

“The whole country is fighting corruption and the ordinary citizen is happy about all that is happening. The economic parameters have changed for the better, a clear indication that the administration’s political and economic strategies are working but the opposition is not interested.

“If the PDP doesn’t have anything that would help our farmers, women, the common man and the youth, they should just keep quiet.

“In the end, one thing Nigerians should take away from the cacophonous falsehoods from the PDP and the tenants back in their tent is that they all fear one thing, that their old records will be reopened.”

MESSAGE OF HOPE: This is the first time the common masses have their own Presidential Candidate.

IF THEY DON’T KNOW, WE KNOW.

Nigeria has 60 Million voting capacity but only 11 Million use to participate in an election. So if they like let all 109 Senators and 360 Reps including some Governors decamp to any political party of their choice.

Muhammadu Buhari as a person is more powerful than their party and we, the masses voted them because of Buhari. Our duty is to mobilize and canvass more good people to get their PVC.

As we can see now, looters are back to their base, more are still going, its not yet over.

2019 general election is between the Masses and gang of Looters.

........ if you’re with us, then Say it loudly #iStandWithBuhari2019

WE STAND WITH A MAN OF HONOR CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY.

A man of integrity my foot. A man who never uses federal character for appointments and so many others misgivings...Why must all the service chiefs come from the north? Yet they shout one Nigeria. Posterity will judge all you cronies and stooges who go online supporting the clueless president.

Arguably the most high-profile detainee is Sambo Dasuki, once a security adviser to Buhari’s predecessor Goodluck Jonathan. Charged with offenses related to money laundering and diverting money supposed to be used to buy arms to fight Islamist militant group Boko Haram, Dasuki has been held for three years as bail orders, including from an Economic Community of West African States court, have been ignored.

You even mentioned Dasuki is a high profile-detainee.
Anybody that wants this cruel rogue released without the country knowing the main root of the matter is nothing but a fellow rogue and devil.
A man who hundreds of soldiers died on the battlefield and was charged with offenses related to money laundering and diverting money supposed to be used to buy arms to fight Islamist militant group Boko Haram.
A man that was sharing money like father Christmas.
A man who whispered on whose order he was sharing the narional cake but the man that gave the order denied.
A man that lot of people who collected this billions of dollars named him as the facilitators....and you want him released?
There was a nation!

The sane ones here can read this and marvel!

1. I acted based on Jonathan's instruction - Dasuki

2. I didn't give order - Jonathan

3. I collected 350M from Dasuki for consultation - Iyorchia Ayu

4. I only collected $30,000 from Dasuki not N100m - Bode George

5. I got N4.6b from Dasuki for spiritual purposes - Bafarawa

6. I got N650M from Dasuki for my Abuja burnt office - Thisday Obaigbena.

7. I got N2.1b from Dasuki for publicity - Dokpesi

8. I got another N100m from Yuguda he didn't tell me from where - Bafarawa.

9. I gave N100m each to Odili, Jim Nwobodo Bode George and others - Yuguda

10. The president asked me to change N10B to foreign currency for PDP delegates - Dasuki

11. My boss asked me to get $11M from the CBN - Dasuki's account officer.

12. I got order from above to pay Tompolo N13B for Maritime university land. - Nimasa DG.

13. 950m was shared in my house -- Shekarau

With all these looting and many more revealed, some people are still shouting no sign of change yet, they even say it's political persecution.
But we believe, it is the right thing to do to fight against corruption and looting in our nation. There must be consequences for such crimes otherwise Nigeria will not develop.

.......In Vietnam, corrupt politicians are executed, but in Nigeria, they are celebrated by corrupt youths!

What happened to rule of law? what's the judiciary there for? Why choose to disobey court order that he doesn't like? How can the executive still be the judiciary at the same time. This is a democracy and not an autocratic system of government. But you cronies won't get your head out of your ass and reason properly. Keep sitting on your hand nothing lasts forever.

Saraki either resigns or get removed by any possible means. He cannot eat his cake and still have it. All APC senators must take a stand now. They either stick with the party or move to join mesujamba in PDP. No more sitting on the bench.

Go to the assembly and remove him lol. "removed by any possible means" if it's unconstitutional then it's wrong. Anyways I won't be surprised if they do after all we have only "Saints" in the APC with charcoal stained clothing.

ToyinOlorunsola:
You are the one missing the point. If indeed APC has the highest members, the party should produce the senate president.

Aminu Tambuwal still maintained his seat after defecting to APC as the Speaker of the house of assembly. They all voted for him as Senate President so the status quo remains. Get the 2/3 majority they need or he sits powerfully on it. It'll take a massive strategy to get him to step down which would cause a break down of the Assembly.

DONSMITH123:
Police spokesman, Jimoh Moshood, has said that the blockade of the Abuja home of Senate President Bukola Saraki must have been by his own security aides, rather than by the Police. as widely reported.

Moshood, in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday afternoon, said that the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has consequently ordered a probe into the incidence.

The media had reported earlier on Tuesday that operatives of the Department of State Services and policemen laid siege to Saraki’s home in Abuja.

Saraki had also alleged that the siege was an attempt to stop some members of the Senate from defecting from the ruling party.

However, Moshood denied that the Police blocked Saraki from leaving his residence in the morning, noting that the “unathorised blockade” must have been carried out by his (Saraki’s) security aides.

He added that the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has ordered an investigation into the incident.
