Reacting to the Peoples Democratic Party’s call for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress says Nigeria is governed by laws, and not a Banana republic.
Owing to the disappearance of he 2016 budget, the PDP also called for the sack of two Ministers and the governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele.
The ruling party said the statement of the PDP serves as a distraction to the National Assembly.
In a statement released by the national secretary of APC, Mai Mala Buni, the party said the PDP contradicted itself by calling for the probe of the missing budget, while also calling for the removal of those responsible for the probe.
“The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to Thursday’s comical statement credited to the acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Uche Secondus calling for the removal of President Muhammadu Buhari, resignation of two ministers and the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria by the National Assembly.
“The APC wishes to remind the PDP that Nigeria is not a Banana Republic, but a country governed by laws.
“It is confusing and worrisome that the PDP calls for an investigation into the budget issue and at the same time calls for the removal and resignation of the aforementioned.
“In both content and context, PDP’s statement constitutes a distraction to the National Assembly.
“The APC is confident that the 8th National Assembly will not be distracted by the PDP in its new desperate plot to divert attention from the ongoing investigation into mind-boggling cases of corruption perpetuated under its defunct 16-year rule.
“Nigerians are still shocked and recovering from the wanton looting perpetuated in the last 16 years under the PDP. We invite the PDP to supports current efforts aimed at social, economic and institutional reforms.”
