The Press statement from PDP below...
The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party Pdp rose from a meeting Thursday
charging the National Assembly to commence impeachment of President
Muhammedu Buhari for the various constitutional breaches especially the
submission of two version of the 2006 budget.
The party said the National Assembly should thoroughly investigate the
shameful act, including the distortion and banding of figures to
accomadate their personal interest and ensure that appropriate sanctions
is meted to whoever has a hand in the dubious action that has brought
embarrassment to the legislative body.
The party also asked the Ministers of Finance, Budget and National
Planning to resign having failed to provide the much needed capacity in
the management of the nation's economy resulting in the embarrassing
crashing of the nation's currency to as low as N305 to a dollar.
Also the party asked the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria CBN to
resign for plunging the country's currency policy into chaos an action
that thrown investors into total confusion.
The party admonished the government to stop pretending that it knows
what to do when feelers from the seat of power shows clearly that
Nigerians by voting for APC have just discovered they boarded a once
chance bus.
"We sympathizes with Nigerians who are seriously undergoing terrible
hardship because of the now obvious inept leadership of APC despite the
promise of one Naira to a dollar.
"What hope can a government that allows its currency to break a 43 year
old record crashing to over N300 to one dollar offer and yet does not
show it has clear focus of what to do.
The party said that APC government rather than address very grievous
national issues created by its lack of capacity to govern has instead
resorted to violation of peoples rights in the name of fighting
corruption.
They noted in particular the continued detention of its Spokesperson
Chief Olisa Metuh for nearly 10 days in clear breach of his fundamental
Human rights and reiterates its earlier call on the anti graft body to
release him unconditionally with immediate effect
Finally, the party called on all lovers of democracy especially the
international community to note the fact that rule of law and respect
for citizens rights, essential ingredients of civil liberty have taken
flight in Nigeria under President Buhari's watch.
Signed
Prince Uche Secondus
Acting National a Chairman
