A constitutional lawyer and human rights activist, Dr. Anthony Agbazuere, has cautioned the leadership of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, advising them to thread with care if the current leadership crisis rocking the National Assembly, is not to consume both the party and President Muhammadu Buhari.
Agbazuere handed down the warning at a press conference in Umuahia on Wednesday, adding that the APC hierarchy should “swallow their pride and accept Senator Bukola Saraki and Hon. Yakubu Dogora as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively in the interest of the party and to move Nigeria forward.”
According to him, any attempt by the APC to plot the impeachment of Saraki and Dogara “will not only fail but destroy APC.”
He also admonished the party against further threatening of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, insisting that his emergence “is a bitter pill which the APC must swallow to survive.”
He said: “APC must not forget that the same structure which brought Saraki also brought Ekweremadu on board, and the Senators in this alliance are greater in number.
“An attempt to threaten them may even lead to the impeachment of either President Buhari or both Buhari and his Vice, Professor Yemi Osibanjo. The implications are obvious.”
Agbazuere further warned APC to stop any form of interference in the affairs of the National Assembly to avoid rocking its boat.
