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.
This was contained in a communiqué issued by the party at the end of its 8th National Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
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.
“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.”
