The Federal government yesterday dared the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the party’s directive to its members to shun all executive bills pending in the National Assembly, even as the APC House members, weekend, vowed to heed the party’s directive.
Special Adviser to the President on Political Affairs, Alhaji Amed Gulak said the call by the
opposition leaders was a call for anarchy and vowed that whatever actions were made towards self-help, particularly in Rivers State would be matched with appropriate reaction by security agencies.
“The Federal Government has directed the law enforcement agencies to take seriously all statements aimed at inciting violence and disturbing the peace. No responsible administration would fold its arms and watch politicians incite their supporters to take up arms or resort to extra-judicial means to resolve disputes when there are legally established channels for conflict resolution in the country.”
But the APC whip in the House of Representatives, Rep. Osagie while giving his readiness to rally the party faithful to heed the directive said he cannot do contrary to his party’s directive.
“I am a member of a political party and I cannot disagree with my party. All I can say right now is that even the deaf can hear, the blind can see that this government is not only rudderless, it is involved in huge illegalities and unconstitutionalities; it has no respect for the rule of law, neither does it have respect for the right of citizens” he said.
