The
CUPP is once again raising alarm having received incontrovertible facts
over a fresh plot that has been hatched and which has received the
go-ahead nod of President Muhammadu Buhari led APC govt for a violent,
undemocratic, unlawful, illegal and demonic takeover of the leadership
of both Chambers of the National Assembly on Tuesday, 29th January,
2019. The APC led Federal government are of the firm belief that Tuesday
is their best and last chance to effect the changes as their control of
the judiciary will be put to use to ensure there is no reversal of
justice for the present occupants. The Senate will reconvene on Tuesday
to discuss the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice
Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The APC is ready
to do whatever it takes to destroy the very fulcrum of our
constitutional democracy on Tuesday and have vowed, it is tomorrow or
never. The judicial coup which they believed was supposed to be more
difficult went very easily beyond their imagination hence the need to
complete the takeover of the National Assembly immediately so that the
distraction of the election campaigns will be put to use. They have also
resolved that the government will make some big positive announcements
tomorrow being Monday, 28th January so as to deflect the minds of
Nigerians. Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Chibuike Amaechi and Babatunde Fashola
have been saddled with the responsibility of choosing the issue for
announcement by the government.
The plot will see the criminal
announcement of Sen. Ahmed Lawan as the Senate President, Sen. Hope
Uzodimma as the Deputy Senate President and Sen. Godswill Akpabio as the
Senate Leader. While in the House of Representatives, Hon Gbajabiamila
will be announced as the Speaker of the House and Hon Abdulmimin Jibril
will be announced as the Deputy Speaker. The decision on who will be the
House leader will be resolved by the trio of Bola Tinubu, Adams
Oshiomhole and Sen. Gorge Akume.
The arrowheads of this
treasonable plot in the National Assembly include Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege,
Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, Ali Ndume, George Akume and Kabiru Gaya. While the
members of the House who are part of this plot to destroy democracy
include Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, Hon. Abdulmumin Jubril and Hon.
Agbonayima.
To ensure the plot goes successfully, the Federal
Government has mapped out the sum of $70, 000 for each Senator and $40,
000 for each House member for what it called welfare since majority of
them will be compelled to be in town suddenly. The money for the bribes
has already been released to Senator Lawan and Hon. Gbajabiamila for
onward distribution to their members as they return. The money amounting
to $15million ($8million for the House and $7 million for the Senate)
was sourced from NNPC, CBN, NDDC, NPA, NIMASA, a commercial bank and a
company the owner of whom is a member of the cabal.
Nigerians are
hereby put on notice that these coupists are plotting that Sen. Saraki,
the Senate President, Sen Ike Ekweremmadu the Deputy Senate President,
Sen. Ben Bruce and Sen. Dino Melaye, Biodun Olujimi, Hon. Dogara,
Kingsley Chinda, Nnena Ukeje among others would be stopped by security
agents from gaining entrance into the National Assembly. Thugs have been
mobilized from Plateau, Kwara and Kogi to mount protest at the gates of
the National assembly and have the approval to attack and disperse any
group that comes to hold a counter rally.”
