APC Insists On Reconvening of NASS To See To Important Legislative Business

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has insisted that the National Assembly must reconvene immediately to see to crucial and pending legislative business.

This is according the statement made available to Naija News by the National Publicity Secretary of the party Mr Yekini Nabena on Tuesday.

“We are in a democracy and are governed by laws. A few cannot hold the legislative arm of government to ransom through their selfish political games.

“The National Assembly must be reconvened immediately to attend to crucial and pending legislative business. The majority must be allowed to lead,” he said.

The National Secretary of the party refuted claims by Coalition of United Political Parties that the APC-led government has planned to attack the National Assembly upon resumption.

He added that the APC considered the new rounds of falsehood by the sponsored coalition as a last-ditch attempt by the outgoing and minority National Assembly leadership of the President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu and Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.

Nabena accused CUPP of acting out the script made available to them by the main opposition People Democratic Party (PDP).

He added that the plans of the leaders of NASS were to prevent the reconvening of the National Assembly and continue a minority rule in an APC-dominated federal legislature.
