The All Progressives Congress has
strongly warned the PDP not to to go ahead with its diabolical plan to
declare vacant the seats of the five PDP Governors who recently defected
to the APC, saying apart from being illegal and smacking of double
standard, such a move has the potential to plunge the polity into chaos.
In a statement issued on Thursday in
Abuja by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
the party said that even as the PDP has continued to lick the mortal
wound inflicted on it by the loss of five preeminent Governors in one
fell swoop, any attempt by the party (PDP) to act in desperation and
declare the Governors’ seats vacant will be met with an unprecedented
show of people power that will end, once and for all, the impunity of
the PDP and the Presidency.
”We have irrefutable evidence that the
PDP is desperately shopping for a pliant Judge who will be heavily
induced to declare vacant the seats of the five Governors who recently
defected to the APC. We also have the name of the lawyers who have been
retained by the PDP for this hatchet job.
”We are in possession of the various
nefarious legal options being explored by the villainous duo of the PDP
and the Presidency but we hereby serve a strong notice to the duo that
any attempt by anyone through any means other than what is provided for
in section 188 of the 1999 Constitution as amended will not only have
grave consequences but will leave the polity severely bruised.
”We know the PDP and the Presidency are
anarchic and nihilistic, and will not mind to pursue any narrow and
selfish objective, even if doing such can plunge the nation into crisis.
But their cup is gradually getting full. Having got away with their
trademark impunity in Delta and Anambra States, these lawless, reckless
and feckless duo of maleficence now believe they can continue to act
without regards to the laws of the land and with no scintilla of
decency.
”We wish to state unequivocally that
should the PDP go ahead with this plan, there will be widespread
repercussions as the APC has resolved that henceforth, every act of
impunity of the PDP and the
Presidency will be met with stiff
resistance in the form of a vociferous telegraphing of people power, the
likes of which have not been witnessed in these parts,” it said.
APC reminded the PDP and the Presidency
that a party that boasts of 16 Governors….still counting…and has control
of the National Assembly has what it takes to use people power to stop
acts of impunity, disregard for the laws of the land and barbaric
brigandage – and that is exactly what the APC will do in
the event of any unlawful declaration of the five Governors’ seats vacant.
The party also warned against any
attempt by the PDP and the Presidency to turn back the hands of the
clock as far as the cleaning up of the judiciary is concerned, by
inducing a servile and disreputable Judge to do the duo’s bidding. Read more
