The All Progressives Party House of Representatives members'
free for all fight has attracted heavy criticisms from the People's Democratic
Party. The event has been described as a national shame...
PDP has expressed deep concerns about the shameful free for
all fight by the APC's House of Representative members. Reacting to the brawl among the House members, PDP National
Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement said, “the barbaric attempt to
physically assault a duly elected Speaker, seize the mace, the authority of the
House, is a direct attack on the Nigerian parliament which embodies the
supremacy of the people and our freedom as a Democratic Nation.
“The brawling APC lawmakers ostensibly acted on instructions
from the Presidency, an obvious indication that President Buhari is largely an
interested party whose involvement is beyond mere body language”.
The PDP scribe noted that the dishonourable manner that the
APC lawmakers conducted themselves clearing shown that they were acting out a
script ordered by the APC. He said that this did not come as a surprise given
that the party’s members are bred and nurtured under a political platform that
lacks discipline and thrives on violence as an unwritten manifesto.
The PDP further revealed that continued confusion in the
APC-led government is a confirmation of its earlier stand that the APC lacks
the capacity and democratic discipline to effectively steer the ship of nation
and face the challenges of governance at the center.
“If a party that has since March 28, 2015 when it got its
victory, about 90 days ago, cannot resolve a basic issue of selecting its
leadership in the National Assembly, clearly, their competence for national
governance comes to question”, the PDP Stated.
Members of the House of Representatives reportedly got in a
brawl on disagreements over the nomination of principal leaders in the house.
