NASS BLOCKAGE: GROUP SAYS POLICE IG COMMITTED TREASON, WARM UP TO PROTEST AGAINST POLICE INVASION

-



Nigeria Must Change group has described police invasion of the National Assembly as an act of treason by the police and said such cannot be justified under whatever circumstances.

In an electronic statement released on Tuesday, authorized by its convener, Mr. Abdulrazaaq O Hamzat,  the group said it shall be embarking on a peaceful protest in Abuja to express its concerns over the treasonable offense committed by the Inspector general of Police Mr. Sulaiman Abba against the speaker of the federal house of representative, hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and other members of the legislative arm of government.

It said, ‘’through this protest, we are going to condemn the barbaric action of the police and drum it into the hear of the police and other security agencies that any attempt to repeat such a misguided invasion shall not be taken lightly by the Nigerian people.’’

The group also added that, As part of its demands in this protest, it shall be giving the federal government  48hours to charge the inspector general of police to court for treason against the state and tender an unreserved apology to  the house for the show of shame,failure of which would spark a continuous protest against the president until our demands are meet.

‘’Let it be known that, Legislature is the symbol of democracy in any country, and for the police (agent of the executive) to have the audacity of attacking such an institution under whatever guise is not  an acceptable practice that would be tolerated, especially as this is attached to the selfish and personal interest of some individuals and political party.’’ It said. Adding that, an attack on the National Assembly is an attack against Nigeria, as honorable members are the representatives of the Nigerian people. 

It also stated that,’’let it be known that, federal lawmakers are not people that can be prevented or attacked by any authority. As any attempt to prevent lawmakers from performing their duty is a call for anarchy and this first invasion shall not be taken in silence.

‘’We know for sure that the action of the police is a treason against the Nigerian state and we would express this through a protest to the police headquarters and the National Assembly.

‘’The date of our protest is yet to be decided, but certainly, we shall communicate with all stakeholders to join us in this protest to save Nigerian democracy.’’ It added.

It concluded that, ‘’Under normal circumstance, there is no way the police can prevent the speaker or other lawmakers from entering their workplace or attack the National Assembly like insurgents attack Nigerian towns in the troubled northeastern states, but since Nigeria under president Goodluck Jonathan had been led into an abnormal situation, such autocratic impunity is taking place, but it must be stopped to prevent further damage to the country’s democracy.

5 facts about O TO GE slogan and the collapse of Saraki's dynasty

-
Image
Kwara Must Change 1. Alh. LAK Jimoh was the first politician in modern history of Kwara state to use the O TO GE slogan in a campaign. O TO GE simply means, Enough is Enough.  Alhaji Jimoh first used the slogan in 2011 when he was contesting the Kwara Central Senatorial seat under the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Bukola Saraki eventually won the ticket and went ahead to represent Kwara Central at the Senate.  While the slogan wasn't popular at the time, there's no taking away the fact that Alh LAK Jimoh used it first and could be rightly credited to be the originator. 2. 8 years later, the slogan idea was pitched again in 2018 immediately after the All Progressive Congress primary election in Kwara State. After the APC primary election, Islamic singer, Aminat Obirere produced a song titled o to ge as part of a joint album coordinated by Kwara Must Change to promote the candidature of APC governorship candidate, Alh. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. The album itself was titled

Fact emerge, President Jonathan falsified his age

New facts emerging are putting into dispute the official age given by the President of Nigeria on his public service documents. Accounts from the president himself and others who dare to provide information suggest that contrary to his stated age—being born on November 20, 1957; the president was born several, perhaps 10 years earlier and is over 60 years old. President Jonathan said in 2011 while giving his Christmas Carol address: “I remember the day I was chatting with a group of elders and they said after the war there was electricity everywhere, they travelled out and so on. I came to live in Port Harcourt in 1955. Even then, it was only Port Harcourt that had electricity, even the big cities, Bonny. But now, government must make sure even the smallest village and settlements have electricity light.” See story here--> http://www.cp-africa.com/2011/12/17/why-fuel-subsidy-must-go-now-by-president-goodluck-jonathan/ on CP-Africa .

Lagos before Nigeria By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

More than 50 years before the creation of Nigeria as a united entity, Lagos is already a major centre of modern civilisation. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition, trade and commerce, infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED In the past few days, i have followed the unhealthy debate between easterners in Lagos and their host and i must say that such is really uncalled for. No tribe or race is an island of knowledge and civilisation. At one time or the other, each one of them contributed in one way or the other. While it is proper for every one to feel good about themselves and try as much as possible to amplify in a good way, their importance and contribution to the society they live in, it is also very crucial to take into account, the reality of other factors without attempting to ridicule the contribution of others. I therefore advise all those joining the discuss to thread with caution and avoid things that are capable of setting our peop

Igbo is not good to be president of Nigeria?

South East has the least number of States in Nigeria, the least number of Senators, the least number of House of Reps members, least number of State House of Assembly members, least number of Ministers at the federal level, least revenue allocation, least federal presence or Investment, least local governments, least wards and the least of everything in Nigeria. Can we conclude that Igbo worry about nothing except their stomach? Can we assume that an Igbo is not good to be president of Nigeria? Can we conclude that top Igbo Politicians lack strategy, tact and vision to think deep in matters of politics? Can we conclude that we are satisfied with the status-quo ante? Is there hope for Ndigbo in Nigeria’s Political equation? Igbo politics worries me to the marrows! For eight years the former Governor of Anambra state, Mr Peter Obi ruled on the platform of APGA and according to him then, it was either APGA or nothing. To celebrate the late Ikemba Nnewi Chief Emeka Ojukwu,
