Sen. Smart Adeyemi, Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory, has described APC’s directive to its National Assembly members to block all legislative proposals as anti-people.
.
Adeyemi, in a statement issued in Lagos on Friday, said it was most unfortunate for a party that claimed to be progressive to come out with such a directive. Adeyemi, former President of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), said: “It is undemocratic and non- religious position to be taken by a political party in the history of modern politics.
.
“We look forward to an opposition that will help in galvanising and accelerating economic activities.’’
.
The statement said Nigerians would not want anything that would add to their burdens, stressing that PDP was making frantic efforts to salvage the situation.
.
It can be recalled that the APC’s directive was contained in a communique issued at the end of its 8th Interim National Executive Committee Meeting held in Abuja.
.
The committee had directed its members in the National Assembly (NASS) to block all legislative proposals, including the 2014 Budget.
.
Others were the confirmation of all nominees to military and civilian positions to public office pending the resolution of the crisis in Rivers.
