PDP
warns against plot to unseat National Assembly’s leadership
ABUJA NIGERIA: We have
learnt of the sinister plot to impeach both the Senate President, Senator David
Mark, and Speaker Aminu Tambuwal in connection with the visit of the
progressive Governors and the National Working Committee of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) to the National Assembly on Tuesday, September 17, 2013.
To us,
this plot by the hawks in the Presidency is politics taken too far and
illustrates the extent to which they are prepared to go in their determination
to plunge this country into chaos. We wish to warn those who are planning this
coup to desist forthwith as such a misadventure is capable of plunging this
nation into a crisis of monumental proportions. These undemocratic elements
should stop overheating the polity just because of their selfish ambitions.
Those who feel that politics is better practised by way of threats and the
unseating of those who do not share their unprogressive thoughts should know
that there is a limit to how far they can push us.
Both
President David Mark and Speaker Aminu Tambuwal have brought in a unique style
of leadership which has resulted to the sanity, brotherhood, unity being
witnessed in the National Assembly since they came on board and any negative
attempt on them will be resisted considering that we now have the majority in
the Assembly. In this regard, we wish to advise the leadership of the National
Assembly not to lose sleep over this evil plot as it is destined to fail. They
did nothing wrong by warmly welcoming the progressive Governors and the NWC of
PDP to the National Assembly. The visit was well-intentioned and part of the
nation-wide consultations being undertaken by our people in our efforts to
correct the evils being perpetrated by the undemocratic leadership of Alhaji
Bamanga Tukur and his cohorts.
For the
avoidance of doubt, the progressive Governors have for the past three months
been visiting past Heads of State and some other great minds in their search
for a peaceful way out of the logjam in the PDP orchestrated by the failed
Tukur leadership of the party. Their visit to the National Assembly was just in
continuation of their nationwide tour. The aim was to brief and rub minds with
members of the National Assembly in view of their position as leaders of the
party on how to reposition our great party to be united and face other parties
by 2015. Any other motive imputed into the visit is not only mischievous but
also a product of the devilish imaginations of those reaching such conclusions.
We wish
to commend both the leadership and the members of the National Assembly for the
great reception accorded our team during our visit even as we condemn the
failed attempt by certain desperate and undemocratic elements to sabotage the
visit by engineering a rowdy scene during our delegation’s meeting with members
of the House of Representatives.
In
conclusion, we sincerely thank the Senate President, Distinguished Senator
David Mark for his great counsel that no member of the National Assembly will
be unseated for any reason based on the present wrangling within the party
contrary to the threat by Tukur and his misguided group that members of the
National Assembly supporting our move to restore sanity to our party will have
their seats declared vacant not minding the limit of their powers in this
regard though unconstitutional acts are what they are well noted for. A word is
enough for the wise!
Long live PDP!
Long live Nigeria!!!
