APC Caucus Didn't Join The Discussion To Avoid Rowdy Confrontation... Resolutions Passed Were Written By An Ally To The Senate President —Abdulmumin Jibrin |PoliFocus

The Parliamentary Support Group of the Senate and House of Representatives made up of Senators and Members who support the ideals of President Muhammadu Buhari is aware of the joint Executive session of the National Assembly held today and wish to state as follows:



That almost all the members and senators that spoke at the Executive session are of the PDP while members of the APC declined joining the discussion to avoid a rowdy confrontation as the entire session could easily pass for a PDP Executive session

That it is commendable that the Speaker tactically refused to make any comment at the session even after the Senate President took time to explain the issues which are mostly personal

That it is disturbing and raised many questions of pre determined intentions that a known ally of the Senate President from Kwara State Hon Rasak Atunwa drafted what was adopted as the resolution and without voting against standard parliamentary practice

That most of the issues raised concerning the fight against corruption, insecurity and the rule of law has been severally discussed in the Senate ( including a special session with security chiefs few days ago) and the House and various resolutions passed

That we commend the efforts of Mr President in the fight against corruption, tackling of the insecurity challenges and respect for rule of law and democratic institutions. Mr President is known for his non interference policy.

That every Senator or Member of House who has corruption or criminal allegation against him or her should clear his or her name without dragging the entire institution of the National Assembly into the matter

That the National Assembly should as well look in ward and address the issue of suffocating Senators and members with dissenting or contrary opinion through coercion or extra legal means, adherence to rule of law and support and expose internal corruption where there are such

That the PDP should recall how it members in the 7th Assembly sat comfortably in the chamber and watched a sitting Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal locked out of the National Assembly and all his security personnels withdrawn while APC members had to scale the fence to gain entrance into the National Assembly

That we must exercise caution at this delicate period not to over heat the polity with statements that are capable of dividing the country, embarrassing us before the watching world and creating friction between the legislature, Executive and specifically Mr President.

We wish to reaffirm our support for Mr President ( no threat or intimidation can deter us) and urge him not to be distracted by mischief makers as he works assiduously towards dealing with the challenges of our country.

Senate and House of Representatives
