Former Minister of Information,
Prince Tony Momoh, has said the Federal Government will spare nothing in
bringing the full weight of the law to bear on any political party, individuals
or groups trying to disrupt President Muhammadu Buhari’s inauguration on May
29.
Recall that the Federal
Government had earlier accused the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) and its presidential flagbearer in the February 23 election, Atiku
Abubakar, of planning to sabotage President Buhari’s administration.
But the main opposition party
immediately fired back, asking the government to face its woes
Atiku on his part also accused
the Minister of lying to Nigerians.
He said: “Politicians are always
talking and all the words they use come from the dictionary. That is the area
of exercise of free speech. The fact is, when it gets to free speech plus,
which means more than free speech, then in a division of labour setting, those
who have the responsibility to bring order to the system will step in and bring
sanity to the system.
“In other words, anybody who
wants to disturb the order and peace of the polity will have his or herself to
blame. Be it political party or any set of people who want to disturb the peace
in the country, including swearing-in ceremony of the President will have
himself to blame.
“It is only the person that is
ignored that will think he has what it takes to be disobedient by undermining
the system. Nobody, however powerful they think they are can undermine an
established order. It is impossible. Whether PDP or any other persons that
willfully test the ability of government to instill order and discipline will
have themselves to blame. They will realise that government does not just have
teeth, it can also bite.”
