Don’t take us for granted, Akpabio destroyed NASS – ADC members warn Tinubu

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) National Legislatures Forum on Tuesday cautioned the administration of Bola Tinubu against interpreting the party’s restrained posture as weakness.

Speaking during a press conference in Abuja, former member of the House of Representatives, Chile Igbawua, stated that the ADC is not pleading but rather calling on the judiciary and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to perform their constitutional duties.

According to Igbawua: “Agreed that the ADC has been as humane as the opposition political party can be but I would like to sound a note of warning that this government should not take that for weakness. We are not begging, we are simply asking everybody to do what they are supposed to do. The judiciary and electoral umpire should do their work as they are assigned.

“As it stands, ADC doesn’t have confidence in INEC as it’s presently constituted. It’s surprising that the head of the legislature has become a press secretary to the INEC Chairman that when accusations are done against him, he sit there in the other arm of government to defend him just like he defends other functionaries in the executives.”

Igbawua further accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of undermining the Nigerian legislature, noting that the forum is dissatisfied with the current state of the National Assembly Nigeria.

He added: “We know that Akpabio has destroyed the legislature and we are ashamed to say so, we were there and we knew what we did when occasion demanded.

“We are ashamed of what we see there today but we believe that those who think that they have a field day should know that they don’t, they will all give account if anybody tries to mess up the democracy; he will account for it personally and corporately.”
