*As Reps resume
Speaker House of Representatives, Alhaji Tambuwal has bemoaned the activities of individuals who’s unguarded utterances are inimical to public order and may truncate Nigeria’s democracy urging security agencies to take action against such individuals.
In his welcome speech at the resumption from recess for the 2015 general election, Tuesday in Abuja, the speaker also called on Nigerians to resist the anti-democratic forces who are determined to scuttle the country’s hard fought democracy.
“My dear Colleagues, recent inflammatory utterances by some Nigerians which are inimical to our unity, peace and public order give cause for serious concern and I am persuaded that the nonchalance or at best reluctance of the security agencies in resorting to the laws of the land in arresting the trend constitute a direct affront on the revered doctrine of the rule of law.
“Nigerians have never needed intimidation or threats from any quarters to vote candidates at elections and they surely do not need any now. Our Constitution makes elaborate provisions for the rights and liberties of all citizens and therefore when certain misguided individuals or groups seek to unlawfully curtail these rights and liberties, the appropriate agencies of state must rise as a bulwark against such infractions.”
Tambuwal however commmended the military for their gallantry in the fight against insurgency in the north east.
” Again on behalf of the House of Representatives, may I commend our Armed Forces and Security Agencies who are laying down their lives daily in the prosecution of the military action against the insurgency in the North Eastern States of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.
” Our Armed Forces have over the years proven their gallantly in both national as well as international assignments and we are confident that the present challenge will not be an exception. The Legislature has consistently supported the quest for a well armed and highly motivated Armed Forces through appropriation. Recent information that arms, ammunition and other equipment are now being delivered to the Armed Forces is therefore heart warming and we urge that this be sustained.”
