The Minority Caucus of the National Assembly on Tuesday, listed what it termed as constitutional breaches being perpetrated by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government.

The Caucus identified the breaches at a press briefing after its meeting in the National Assembly.

Senate Minority Leader Enyinnaya Abaribe, who addressed the press, insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari is “absent from duty” in the face of grave insecurity ravaging the country.

He insisted that the Caucus “will at the appropriate time, utilise all constitutional methods and measures available after consultations with our colleagues to do the needful to save the country from collapse.”

The Caucus expressed strong reservations about the economic strategy of the government which has “culminated into what is called quantitative easing, which the ordinary man knows as printing money.”

“We feel that this strategy has led us to the very high inflation that we have today, devaluation of our Naira to the height that we never expected and has also concomitantly brought out unemployment and has led the government to contemplate, as we see today, to raise the price of fuel, electricity tarrif and all manners of charges on helpless Nigerians,” Abaribe said.

According to him, the lives of members of the opposition have been under threat for daring to speak out against the Federal Government.

Abaribe said: “The Minority Caucus of the National Assembly expresses very strong concern about the ineptitude and the inability of the APC-led government to arrest the drift to anarchy of our nation at this time.

“This APC-led government, at inception and during campaigns prior to 2015 elections, made promises to the Nigerian public, the first of which was that they were going to deal with security challenges within their tenure.

“Sadly and most unfortunately, from 2015 to date, rather than resolving the security situation, the APC-led Federal Government had rather broaden the security challenges.

“So, from the problems of the Northeast, it has spread to other parts of the country. Virtually all parts of Nigeria is now beset with one security challenge or the other.

“We, therefore as a caucus, suggest that immediate steps should be taken by governments at all levels to set up proper security infrastructure whether in the mode of State Police and other constitutional reforms to arrest the drift of the nation.”
