…commends Senator Matthew Urhoghide
…asks Senate not to relent
Edo PDP has been watching with keen interest the goings-on in the nation especially the state of insecurity and the illegal withdrawal and spending of state resources without following due and constitutionally prescribed process.
We hereby state that we support the current effort by members of the National Assembly to stem this ugly tide. No nation can survive under the weight of executive tyranny, hence we call on all Nigerians to come out and voice their support for members of the National Assembly who recently are been harassed, intimidated and persecuted for daring to speak.
The legislature all over the world is the key component of democratic practice. No nation can survive under the weight of executive dictatorship as we are experiencing under the Buhari presidency. Any attempt to undermine their constitutional role will spell doom for our democracy .
We commend Distinguished Senator Matthew Urhoghide, Chairman Public Accounts Committee, for his quality representation of Edo South Senatorial district and our party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. He has justified our confidence by his incisive, quality and patriotic contributions in the senate at this hour of our democratic trials.
We call on all members of the National Assembly not to relent in their effort in repositioning our democratic values where the Three Arms of Government are allowed to play their role in the overall interest of the nation.
Edo PDP stand with the National Assembly and the Nigerian People.
Signed.
Chief Dan Osi Orbih
Chairman PDP
