The Action Congress of Nigeria has blamed President Goodluck Jonathan for the crisis in the state and called on the National Assembly to immediately commence impeachment proceedings against him.
The party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, alleged that Jonathan had failed to live up to his oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The ACN said, “Under his watch, five lawmakers – out of 32 – have become the majority and, simply because they have the backing of the Presidency, are now being given police protection to disrupt the proceedings of the Assembly.
“As we write, Rivers State has been taken over by current and former militants, who have been unleashed to destabilise the state and cause a breakdown of law and order, to pave the way for the imposition of a state of emergency.
‘’This cannot and must not be allowed to continue, hence our call on the National Assembly to move quickly to remove the source of the crisis.”
The ACN stated that because of the potential to set the country on fire, it was calling on civil society groups, professional bodies and ordinary Nigerians to defend the rule of law and the supremacy of the constitution.
It recalled that under Jonathan’s watch and with his tacit support, a few lawmakers dictated to majority of the members of the Ogun State House of Assembly.
The party stated that under Jonathan’s watch, the Nigeria Governors’ Forum was sabotaged by his minions who declared a governor with 16 votes a winner over the one who scored 19 votes.
It said that the five lawmakers were emboldened to take extra-constitutional measures to try to remove the majority-backed speaker of the Assembly.

ReplyDeleteLet me remind u that Jonathan is a big problem to dis Nation nd nthg good cannot come out of him. 1st, d problems of naija satrted with d amagamation in 1914 dat was a forced marriage btw d north nd d south. 2ndly, Military rule. Nd 3dly, PDP nd don't 4get military rule has not left us coz all d military senior officers are in PDP. So, jonathan can only follow instructions from dis pple. Now, back to d issue of Asiwaju Tinubu is d only leader dat stand in 4 d masses if u don't know. He has nthg to loose if he moves to PDP nd they will be happy to have him.

ReplyDeleteYour description of tinubu has shown that u are not a nigerian. Acn is ano association of death old wicked and triblistic individuals fighting to emmass more wealth for themselves and their profile is there for u to see.
ReplyDeleteHow ignorant u are to describe Jonathan as good leader the present Nigeria's predicament is man call jothan but all we know god loves Nigeria nd god will surely help us to remove him as our leader with or without A C N
DeleteTinubu and his party are nothing but religious/ethnic bigots and cynics who simply can't get over the fact some from an ethnic minority is the president of this country,hence call for his impeachment at every slight exuse. Shame on you Tinubu and your co-conspirators. Your gathering is not by God so you have failed already.
