Following the continuous leadership tussle that had rocked the National Assembly and resulted in brawl, the Presiding Bishop of God’s worshipers Assembly, Bishop Nmalagu Greatman has urged members of the National Assembly to stop dragging the Country in the mud in their struggle to occupy leadership positions.
Bishop Nmalagu made this appeal when he addressed the press at the end of the Unemployed Graduates Association held recently in Obiaruku, Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State.
In his address, the Bishop said the National Assembly was the engine room of the Country, and described the current situation playing out in the Senate as appalling, urging President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the interest of the country.
The Bishop asked that all the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members fighting for principal offices to sheathe their swords and rather unite in the fight to move the interest of the country.
“We have been talking of change and one of the causes of the economic declines in the country was the issue of crises, especially the Boko Haram menace affecting the North East. But when the crisis now emanates from the National Assembly, then it becomes worse than Boko Haram.
“So I wonder why the National Assembly members will be generating more crises for the nation; it only shows they don’t have Nigerians in mind, otherwise they won’t be fighting over principal offices.”
The Bishop urged the Assembly members to sit up and move motions and make bills, instead of causing tensions in the country. He also urged President Buhari to call the various factions to order as they could create more internal wars than the previous administration did. “The President should not rely solely on what the APC are giving him as advise, instead let him put in place a machinery that could generate more ideas possibly from the out gone party, because they know how the problems yet unsolved started.”
