The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation on Monday cautioned members of the National Assembly against taking actions, which might adversely affect the foundations of the nation’s democracy.
The APC campaign said this while welcoming legislators, who are due to resume plenary today (Tuesday).
This was contained in a statement by the organisation’s Director of Media, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja.
He noted that members of the National Assembly were returning to plenary at a time when the country was passing through a phase of some surreptitious attempt to tamper with the sanctity of the election date and the handover date.
The campaign statement observed that the commentaries coming from leading members of the Peoples Democratic Party, about a sinister plot to compromise on the sanctity of the May 29 handover date, portended a great danger to the integrity of Nigeria’s democracy.
The statement read, “We wish to call their (National Assembly members) attention to the fact that their resumption is coming at a time when some senior members of the ruling party are mouthing overtures over a surreptitious attempt to compromise on the sanctity of the election day and the handover date.
“To the extent that the parliament is the heart of any democracy, our National Assembly members have a duty to ensure that they protect our democracy from the archeries of its enemies.”
The campaign organisation urged all members of the National Assembly to add their voices to that of millions of other Nigerians and stand resolute that the general elections hold between March 28 and April 11 as scheduled and also that the May 29 handover date remains sacrosanct.
