The Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, Mr. Samson Osagie, on Monday said the All Progressives Congress would use all legal means to check the excesses and impunity of the Peoples Democratic Party and its plan to force the Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal, out of office.

Osagie, who told our correspondent that he was a second plaintiff in the suit filed by the APC caucus in the House to stall the PDP plan, accused the ruling party of sabotaging the nations democracy.

The Minority Whip, who spoke shortly after returning his nomination form for the 2015 Edo South senatorial election at the partys secretariat in Benin, said that the country could not continue in the direction being dictated by the PDP.

He said, We must use all legal processes to stop the impunity of the ruling party in this country the PDP has indulged in acts of sabotage of our constitutional democracy in all material respects.

We cannot continue in the direction that they are trying to take our ship of state. The Speaker has opted for the APC and heavens cannot fall. He remains the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

He is not the Speaker of PDP and he is not the Speaker of APC and he is protected by law until a court says so.

So, for me and our party (APC), we need to check their (PDP) excesses, we need to check their impunity.

I am a second plaintiff in that suit. We are ready to challenge the impunity and illegality that both the police and the PDP have engaged themselves in this matter.

The All Progressives Congress will seek all legitimate means to check the illegalities that the other party wants to impose on the House of Representatives.

Osagie said that the PDP, the APC and the Labour Party, which made up the 360 members of the House, had no problem about the peaceful atmosphere which he said pervaded the lower chamber on October 28 when Tambuwal announced his defection to the opposition party.
