Ex militant commanders in the Niger Delta have warned members of the
House of Representatives to refrain from its alleged move to impeach
President Goodluck Jonathan.
The
President of the group, Mr Reuben Wilson reassured President Jonathan
of their support, promising that they would resist any move to embarrass
him.
“They call themselves honourable members. But I can say that for
legislators to scale the fence of the National Assembly to gain entry
into the hallowed chambers, they have lost the respect of the public. It
is only criminals that jump fences to gain entry into places,
honourable people do not behave like that.
“We are watching what they are doing. Let me inform them that their
latest attempt at impeaching the president will fail. The Speaker, Aminu
Tambuwal
should do the honourable thing by vacating his seat
because the law says when you defect to another party; you automatically
lose your seat.
“How would he eat his cake and still have it? Tambuwal wants to
discredit the president so that his new party can gain favour in the
eyes of the public. What happened on Thursday was a continuation of
their so-called Salvation rally.
“You can imagine some APC leaders threatening to take laws into their
hands and form a parallel government if their party loses in the 2015
elections. It was not up to 24 hours after that threat that the show of
shame was displayed on Thursday. If they wanted to actually go and sit
for their legitimate legislative duties, why did they go in a commando
style as if they were thugs?
“We know what they are doing and we are watching them. They should not push us to the wall, because if they do, we shall react.”
This
country belongs to all of us and we are equal stakeholders. We cannot
take any rubbish from anybody; no matter who they think they are. They
should watch their backs,”
Vanguard....
