The Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC) warned of the leadership of the National Assembly that repeats its continuous decision to prohibit Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to carry out its sacred constitutional duties.
The president of the NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero, who in a statement said Thursday that Congress would not remain for several things, while the leadership of the National Assembly “cannibalizes” the democracy of the nation, promised to mobilize the members against what he described as a decline to the legislative dictatorship and democratic anarchy.
He said: “This law is not simply an error in the trial; it is a shameless assault on democracy itself, a direct threat to the social contract and a dangerous fall towards fascism disguised as governance.
“That he suspended a fellow senator of his constitutional roles that deprive his people, the appropriate representation is not sinful enough, but continued to ignore the decisions of the court that annulled his suspension and, at the expiration of his illegal suspension, he is still denying that his return is the height of morally repropriated impunity and impunity. This is no longer democracy.
“The pathetic resource of the Senate to a frivolous legal barley, claiming that the matter is sub judice; after the expiration of a six -month suspension of six months, it is the height of the legislative bad faith. It is a cynical ploy that reveals a sinister agenda to the dissenting dissent, the crushed opposition and the manipulation of the judgment judge as a political tool. To the sacred chambers of the National Assembly and spits the collective will of the people of Central Kogi who chose Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.
“From our point of view, this action is a direct attack against the Nigerian people. It is a declaration of a privileged political elite that they are not responsible to the citizens who intend to serve. By deliberately depriving through a district of their rights, the complete senatorial district, the Senate is effectively the political representation for which people pay tax and the appropriation of appropriation resources directly.
“The NLC is on the side of democracy and wishes to affirm that this action is: a test of evidence calculated for the emasculation of the opposition and the subjugation of the sovereign as 2027. It has declared war on the principles of representative democracy and in our nation.
“Let’s warn to the leadership of the National Assembly and its facilitators: the Nigerian people, together through ethnic and religious lines, will not remain to be struck while cannibalizing our democracy. The labor movement, as the historical defender of justice and the common good, will mobilize its immense membership and moral authority to resist this slide to the autocracy. A senator of a senator today is a senator today An attack by the sown of each voter of each Nigerist tomorrow. “
