Femi Gbajabiamila
The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has underscored the commitment of progressive lawmakers to good governance in Nigeria.
“The progressive lawmakers would not truncate the country’s hard earned democracy,” he said today in a press statement signed by Olanrewaju Smart, his Personal Research Assistant. “We will do what we need to do to ensure good governance in our country.”
Mr. Gbajiabiamila was commenting on yesterday’s directive by the National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress in Abuja, which directed the party’s members in the National Assembly to block all legislative proposals from the executive.
“Government shutdown or filibustering is nothing new in party politics world over,” he said. “When government isn’t shut down and successive budgets have been passed of what benefit has it been to the common man?”
He said the end justified the means, the end in this context being good governance and the means extraordinary measures such as this.
