The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last night lashed out at the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the directive by its interim National Executive Committee (NEC) to its members in the National Assembly to henceforth stall all executive bills, including the passage of the 2014 Budget and the confirmation of new service chiefs and ministers.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, described the directive as direct call for anarchy.
His words: “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.
“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.”
PDP added that by attempting to cause confusion in the National Assembly, the citadel of democracy, it is now clear to all Nigerians the APC has commenced the implementation of its orchestrated plot to truncate the nation’s democracy and push the country into a state of chaos and achieve its doomsday predictions. The ruling party however told Nigerians that this is a plot which must be stopped.
