The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the resolution of the joint session of the National Assembly against President Muhammadu Buhari’s Presidency was a vindication of its stance on the administration.
A statement issued by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja on Tuesday commended the members of the National Assembly for their “patriotism and courage in unanimously standing up for democracy, the rule of law, national stability and cohesion at this trying time.”
It added: “Nigerians would recall that the PDP had consistently pointed to the misrule of the Buhari presidency, as well as the unrelenting violations
of our constitution, unprecedented executive highhandedness, abuse of the rights of citizens and the erosion of all known democratic norms under this administration.
“These are in addition to the foisting of siege mentality on Nigerians as well as presidential aloofness to important issues of state thereby resulting in the escalation violence, killings and daily bloodlettings in our country.
“From the above, it has become evident that Mr. President must be called to order through an appropriate legislative instrument.”
The PDP, therefore, called on all democrats, across board, irrespective of party affiliations, to come together, support the National Assembly and “save our democracy from the misrule of the Buhari presidency.”
