The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday condemned the rendition of the campaign tune of then Presidential Candidate of the APC, now President Bola Tinubu in the hallowed chamber of the National Assembly during the presentation of the 2024 budget estimate to the Legislature.

The PDP described it as an extremely sacrilegious and unpardonable assault by President Tinubu and his handlers on the sensibility and Constitutional sovereignty of the Nigerian people as represented by the National Assembly.

The national publicity secretary of PDP, Hon Debo Ologunagba said the brazen rendition of Tinubu’s campaign tune amidst proceedings in the chambers of the National Assembly by government’s security band further confirmed “the apprehensions by Nigerians of creeping totalitarianism and fiefdom where an individual is being elevated as a Sovereign in clear undermining of the Legislature and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).”

Ologunagba said the incident validates the concerns of the PDP as expressed on several occasions, the latest being on Wednesday, November 15, 2023 where they raised alarm and cautioned that the nation is dangerously sliding into cronyism and totalitarianism under the Tinubu-led APC administration.

 

 

“The National Assembly is the symbol of the collective sovereignty of the Nigerian people which cannot be appropriated by or surrendered to any individual or cabal under any guise or circumstance whatsoever.

 

 

“Moreover, the PDP is appalled by President Tinubu’s description of Nigerians in his budget presentation as the “ordinary people out there”; a statement which further exposes the disdain and utter disregard to the sensitivity of Nigerians as reflected in the formulation of polices, programmes and implementation by the APC administration

 

 

“This apparently explains why the 2024 budget as presented by President Tinubu heavily provided for luxury appetite of the privileged few in the Presidency and APC leaders with no corresponding positive plan for the wellbeing of other Nigerians.

 

 

“Our Party calls on Nigerians to be at alert and defend the nation’s democracy by resisting the totalitarian tendencies of the APC administration.

 

 

“Nigeria is a democratic nation governed by the Constitution and the Rule of Law and we must not allow any act that is capable of drifting our nation to unconstitutional tendencies as being exhibited by the APC,” Ologunagba said in a statement.
