Be ready to face consequences of treason, Goodluck tell's APC leaders.....

The APC ealier on sunday asked the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against president Goodluck for alleged gross misconducts. the presidency has replied has replied to the opposition telling them to be ready to face the consequences of treason. read the state house press release below

we have noted with utter disdain, the reckless irresponsible call by thr APC leaders for the NationalAssembly to commence impeachment proceedings against President Goodluck Jonathan .Ordinarily, we would not have dignified Alhaji Lai Mohamed's latest vituperations in the service of hispaymasters with a response, but we thought it necessary to warn that the Federal Government will notstandby idly and watch the Nation been plunged into unnecessary crises and political instabilitybecause of the desperation and readiness of the APC spokesman and his gang power-seekingdesperadoes the well being of the country on the alter their selfish personal ambition.the Presidency totally condemns the decition by Alhaji Mohamed and his party to move further beyound the bounds of honourables and acceptable political conducts with the senseless call for the impeachment of a President who continues to sincerely devote himself to the discharge of the sacred mandate freely given to him by Nigerians.the APC, which remains the minority party with doubtful credencials in the National Assembly, knows fully well that its attempt to hector a Parliament dominated by loyal members of the President's Party, the PDP, will come to nothing.But it has cavalierly embarked on this outrageous gambit, with scant regard for peace, order, security and political stability in the country, in furtherance of its dastardly and heinous strategy of over heating the polity and working to cause public disaffection against the Jonathan Presidency with lies , false accusation and unjustifiable indictments ahead of the 2015 general elections.The emptiness hollowness of the APC's call for Goodluck Jonathan's impeachment will be obvious to all objectives and diserning Nigerians who read through the statement issued by Ahaji Lai Mohamed yesterday. it was long on self serving rhetoric and falsehood, but lacked a single clearly defined charge on the basis of which any plausible impeachment proceedings against the president can be initiated.All that the APC could offer in justification of its absurd and hare-brained impeachment was a rehash of its well worn litany of baseless accusations against the President, including some for which culpability should be laid squarely at the doorstep of its own leaders and some of their new friends.The Presidency also considers it utterly deplorable that the APC has, in its Machiavellian desperationto seize control of the Federal Government, recklessly assailed the integrity and honour of the Nigerian Judiciary in a callous attempt to pre-empt the outcome of the case legitimately brought it by some of its new friends by the PDP.Alhaji Mohamed unscrupulous effort to drag the nation's judiciary into its murky political warfare and his readiness to intimidate and blackmail members of the bench so as to secure a favourable outcome for his party in the pending case clearly shows that nothing is beyond the pale for him and the APC in pursuit of their quest for power.The Jonathan administration does not need Lai Mohamed or the APC to remind it of its constitutional responsibility for the security and well-being of Nigerians. The President will continue to do his utmost best to archive positive national transformation in all areas in spite of efforts by the opposition to thwart or disparage the work of the administration.In this regard, we have noted the undisguised threat by the APC to foster public insurrection against the Federal Government if pending legal case go against it. We urge Nigerians to take special note of this boastful indications of an intention to resort to lawlessness.The Presidency warns that the APC and any person who make themselves its willing tool for the breach of public order and safety will be made to face the full sanctions of the law. those who ar threatening fire and brimstone should be ready for the consequences of treasonable actions.The APC's false copy-cat allegation that 1,000 snipers are been trained by the Jonathan administration clearly shows that they are now in cahoots with some other element who are bent on discrediting this administration and idicting the public against it.President Jonathan is running a people's government. he does not any snipers.His legitimacy comes from the people.those who are alleging the existence of snipers should come forth and provide evidence or shut up for ever and go down in history as spineless cowards driving by sheer greed and indecency.We dismiss the APS's call for the presidents impeachments as opportunistic, partisan and ill motivated.We call on patriots to make the necessary distinction between such reckless violation of civic duty and the urgent need to protect the integrity of the Nigerian nation against those who for selfish reason's have declared their readiness to stop at nothing.Reuben AbatiSpecial Adviser to the Presidentmedia and publicityDec. 15 2013
