The National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus has called on President
Muhammadu Buhari to quit the stage now.
According to the party, it’s
evident that Buhari cannot hold the government and the country together.
The party was reacting to the
Tuesday’s resolutions by the National Assembly, where they threatened to invoke
their constitutional powers on the President if a number of constitutional
infringements are not quickly addressed and stemmed. Prince Secondus said that
there is no further confirmation to the fact that the President is presiding
over a collapsed administration.
In a statement from his media
office, signed by his media Adviser, Ike Abonyi, the PDP National leader said
that the position of the parliament reflects clearly that of a cross section of
Nigerians and should be respected.
“Evidence are abound globally
that by parliamentary powers the resolution of the National Assembly means that
the people have lost confidence in the President and he should quit.
“We in the opposition have been
saying it interminably that this government has no direction and does not mean
well for the country.
According to Prince Secondus, all
lovers of democracy should queue behind the National Assembly at this critical
time in our political challenge and put pressure on the President to leave the
stage now and save our democracy and the country.
He said that this government has
exhibited all traits of a failed administration and did not need to wait for
the parliament to give it a quit notice.
“History is a witness that when a
government is bereft of ideas and still wants to cling on to power, it resorts
to use of brute force, intimidation and harassment of opponents, a quality we
have seen very blatantly in this regime.
The PDP National Chairman
asserted that a supposed civilian government that does not want institutions of
democracy to strive should be called its exact name- dictatorship.
“The legislature and the
Judiciary are the two main arms of any democratic government all over the
World, but this administration has deliberately made the operations of the two
very tasking in the last three years.
“How do you explain the assault
on the nation’s Senate by an ostensibly Executive backed hoodlums who not only
disrupted proceedings but abducted the mace the symbol of parliamentary
authority, the framing up of the Senate President and some of his vocal
colleagues in an armed robbery and other related criminal cases or the forceful
infiltration of homes of Justices and Judges at the wee hours of the night with
arms by operatives of a supposedly democratic administration.
The PDP boss urged the National
Assembly to quickly invoke their powers on the President and avert further
bruises to the nation’s democratic advancement.
