The All Progressive Congress(APC) has initiated a move calculated to plunge Nigeria deeper into crisis by directing its lawmakers 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.

The communiqué was read to journalists by the party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,, wherein the party noted that the level of impunity by federal authorities in Rivers State, could no longer be tolerated.
