“Following on the forgoing and in view of the joint resolutions of the National Assembly on Rivers State, and other constitutional breaches by the Presidency, the APC hereby directs its members in the National Assembly, to block all “legislative proposals including the 2014 Budget and confirmation of all nominees to military and civilian positions to public office until the rule of law and constitutionalism is restored in Rivers State in particular and Nigeria in general.”.......APC ***That is right! Time to stop this atrocity in River State.....One of the dividend of democracy. Democracy in action! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The All Progressives Congress has directed its members in the National Assembly to block all legislative proposals including the 2014 Budget and confirmation of the appointment of service chiefs as well as ministers until constitutionalism is restored in Rivers State, in particular and the nation in general. This was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the party’s 8th regular National Executive Council meeting, held in Abuja, on Thursday. The communiqué, which was read to journalists by the party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, after the over six-hour meeting, noted that the level of impunity by federal authorities in Rivers State, could no longer be tolerated. The party noted that it might no longer restrain its members nationwide especially in Rivers State, from taking whatever step they deemed necessary to protect themselves and their property, if government fails to stop the growing culture of lawlessness. It observed that the brazen manner in which the rights of citizens of the state was being breached by persons and institutions saddled with the responsibility of protecting them, was no longer acceptable. The communiqué read in part, “Following on the forgoing and in view of the joint resolutions of the National Assembly on Rivers State, and other constitutional breaches by the Presidency, the APC hereby directs its members in the National Assembly, to block all “legislative proposals including the 2014 Budget and confirmation of all nominees to military and civilian positions to public office until the rule of law and constitutionalism is restored in Rivers State in particular and Nigeria in general.”
