Nigeria’s Democracy Still Trying To Build

The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Mr Dan Nwanyanwu, has
condemned the action of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ,
directing its members in the National Assembly, to block the passage
of the 2014 budget as a means of forcing President Goodluck Jonathan
to intervene in the crisis in Rivers State, saying it is “very wrong”.

Mr Nwanyanwu stated that Nigeria’s democracy was still trying to build
and that “APC as a political party
should not hold Nigerians to ransom”.

He explained that his party did not
agree with such directive, citing factors that would be affected by
such directive to include Education, payment of workers salaries and
security.

He pointed out that the Nigerian government had just entered an
agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and
that the government would not be able to keep up with their payment,
security and salaries of public workers he added as other factors that
will affect these directive.

Mr. Iwuanyanwu further said that “there is no relationship between
Rivers State, National Assembly and the budget” insisting that
Nigeria’s economy will suffer if these directives are not resolved.

“Most Nigerians don’t trust APC because of the contradictions
there-in” he said but stated that there were still some politicians
with good
characters. “There are still good people you can find in the APC”.

But on River crisis, he said that such crisis was becoming a peculiar
with APC governed states.

“Its is the same crisis that is happening in Ekiti State”.

He emphasized the need for the Rivers State crisis to be resolved, in
order to avoid the military take over.

The Labour Party leader stated that the Service Chiefs had already been
appointed, all they needed was the screening and confirmation, he added.

“If you anger the military, what you are telling them to do is to
consider if they are part and parcel of this democracy,” he stressed.
