The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the directive issued by All Progressives Congress, APC, to its members in the National Assembly to block all legislative proposals including confirmation of the Service Chiefs, passage of the 2014 budget among others, until the rule of law and constitutionalism is restored in Rivers State, as a confirmation of its assertions that the opposition party was determined to destroy the nation’s democracy.
PDP in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh said: “In asking that service chiefs should not be confirmed by the Senate, the APC has revealed its devilish plot to undermine the nation’s security system, create a state of anarchy and pave way to unleash mayhem on the people”.
The ruling party added that “In trying to frustrate the passage of the 2014 budget, the APC has also exposed its plot to cripple the nation’s economy and plunge the people into untold hardship”.
According to the PDP, “by attempting to cause confusion in the National Assembly, which is the citadel of democracy, it is now clear to all Nigerians that the APC has commenced the implementation of its orchestrated plot to truncate the nation’s democracy, push the country into a state of chaos and achieve its doomsday predictions; a plot which must be stopped”.
