Read
the press statement from PDP below...
The
National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party 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 accommodate 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.
