The All Progressives Congress has warned the Federal Government to desist from compounding illegality by compelling members of the House of Representatives to sign a paper seeking to reconvene the House ahead of the December 3 adjourned date.

This was contained in a statement in Abuja on Friday by APCs National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

The party said, We have heard from the grapevine that the FG is inducing legislators with a view to reconvening the House, but this will amount to piling illegality upon illegality since only a resolution by all principal officers of the House can reconvene the House.

We cannot put anything beyond a government that will unlawfully withdraw the security details of the countrys number four citizen, who has not been removed as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, simply because he defected from the ruling party to the opposition. For as long as he remains Speaker, Rt Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is entitled to all the statutory perks of his office.

APC accused the President Goodluck Jonathan-led government of ruling by vindictiveness, rather than in accordance with the rule of law.

It added, Despotism, arbitrariness and impunity are the watch words of the Jonathan administration, hence it has

desecrated most national institutions, including the judiciary, and has now put the legislature in its cross hair.

The legislature is one of the last standing institutions after the onslaught of the ravaging Jonathan Administration, which has

nothing but contempt for the concept of the separation of powers, the rule of law and perception of the country by the international

community.

Tambuwal: APC warns against attempt to reconvene House

A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, in Kaduna on Friday said the withdrawal of the security details of the Speaker, House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, was a plot by the Federal Government to eliminate him(Speaker).

The former Minister, who accused President Goodluck Jonathan of masterminding the withdrawal of Tambuwal security aides, alleged that the Speaker was one of the targets of snipers being purportedly groomed by agents of the government.

Ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo had in his open letter to President Goodluck Jonathan last year alleged that agents of the Federal Government was grooming snipers that would target some prominent Nigerians.

Speaking to newsmen after picking his expression of interest and nomination forms as an All Progressives Congress governorship aspirant in Kaduna on Friday, the former minister claimed that the Speaker was one of the targets of the killer squad.

That was why the Inspector-General of Police, on the order of Jonathan(president), withdrew the Speaker security aides, he added.

Warning that no harm must befall the Speaker, the former minister noted that it was irresponsible on the part of the Inspector-General of Police and the Federal Government to have withdrawn the Speakers security details.

The APC chief explained that the withdrawal was done deliberately so as to pave the way for the killer squad to eliminate the Speaker for defecting to the APC.

According to el-Rufai, the removal of the Speakers security is part of the continuation of the Jonathan-led governments penchant for impunity.

The former Minister, however, reminded the Jonathan government that impunity had limitations, saying that the Nigeria government should learn from Burkina Faso when the people were fed up with the government.

El-Rufai said, The withdrawal of Tambuwals security aides is on the order of the President Goodluck Jonathan. The IG doesnt act that way. The president ordered the IG to order the removal. Its just the continuation of the Jonathanian impunity.

When researchers showed disgusting images of snakes, roaches, garbage, vomit, mutilated bodies and open wounds to participants in a Virginia Tech study, they found significant differences between the way liberals and conservatives reacted, on a neural level.

Though the volunteers didn't report feeling any more or less grossed out by the images, brain scans told a different story. The more strongly a person's brain reacted to seeing disgusting images, the more likely they were to hold conservative views.

The same discrepancy did not exist in their responses to positive images.

The authors point out in the paper, published in the journal Current Biology, that this is the first brain study to find multiple points of differentiation in activity when comparing the emotional processing of images in liberals versus conservatives. Several parts of the brain lit up in conservatives, while others were activated in liberals.

An illustration summarizing fMRI scans of the brain viewing a disgusting image. Even a single presentation of a disgusting stimulus is sufficient to make accurate predictions of individual's political orientation. Red/yellow spots predict conservative orientation and blue/green spots predict liberal orientation.

P. Read Montague and his coauthors wrote in the study that their results "invite the provocative claim that neural responses to nonpolitical stimuli (like contaminated food or physical threats) should be highly predictive of abstract political opinions (like attitudes toward gun control and abortion)."

Indeed, watching the brain's reaction to a single disgusting image was sufficient to guess each subject's political orientation. Montague said in the press release, "I haven't seen such clean predictive results in any other functional imaging experiments in our lab or others."

The researchers used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to track how the brains of 83 volunteers reacted to viewing emotionally charged but politically neutral images. The volunteers were then asked to rate how disgusting, threatening, or pleasant they thought each image was, and then answer a standard questionnaire about political ideology.

The study did not determine exactly how or why liberal brains differ from conservative ones, only that the two types of brains lit up in two different patterns when viewing the same images.
