The All Progressives Congress has slammed the DSS and the Police for their loud silence on the threats of war by ex-militants if President Goodluck Jonathan should lose this months election, saying the failure of the security agencies to act is an indication of their double standard and lack of fairness.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said it is insightful to note that the same security agencies that reacted with hysteria to the harmless comments by Governor Rotimi Amaechi have suddenly lost their voices when the ex-militants threatened to wage war on the nation.

When Governor Amaechi said soldiers had the right to protest if their welfare was not taken care of, the DSS was at its most efficient level, with its voluble spokesperson threatening fire and brimstone and only stopping short of arresting the Governor, despite his immunity.

When the same Gov. Amaechi said the APC will form a parallel government if the February 14 and 28 elections were rigged, the same DSS and the police sought to outdo one another with threats and condemnation of what they called inciting comments, even when Gov. Amaechis warning was conditional.

Now, the ex-militants have said President Jonathan must be re-elected or they will unleash violence on the country. In other words, it is immaterial whether or not he loses in a free and fair elections. There is no clearer indication of impunity than the action of the ex-militants, who issued their threats in the Bayelsa government house, with the Governor of the state in attendance.

More than a week later, the DSS has been missing in action while the police, in what can pass as a most shocking reaction, said they are still studying the ex-militants comments. Even after former Defence Minister Gen.Theophilus Danjuma called for the arrest of the ex-militants for their treasonable threats, and the ex-militants had the audacity to repeat the threats, the police still continued to study the threats. This is simply unbelievable, it said.

APC said the implication of the conspiracy of inaction by the DSS and the police is that, under the Administration of President Jonathan, there are different rules for different Nigerians, wondering how the security agencies can be trusted to provide a level playing ground for all political parties before, during and after the forthcoming general elections.

For supporters of President Jonathan, there is no law, there is no police, there is no DSS. Their support for the President is a licence for lawlessness and irresponsibility, and if at all there is any law, they remain far above such law. That is why they could dare the entire nation by issuing such treasonable comments and get away with their action, the party said.

It called on Nigerians to take note of the glaring double standard of the security agencies, while urging local and international observers to closely monitor the activities of the security agents before, during and after the polls.

Nationals leader Warren Truss says he has no doubt Tony Abbott has the support of his colleagues.

Senior Liberals are closing ranks around Tony Abbott ahead of a make or break speech, with one declaring the prime minister is not finished.

Mr Abbott's leadership is under pressure as he prepares to jettison his paid parental leave scheme during a major policy address at the National Press Club in Canberra on Monday.

The speech is being touted as Mr Abbott's last chance to convince his party room to stick with him in the wake of a disastrous Queensland election result and the Prince Philip knighthood fiasco.

Fairfax on Monday reported Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop were being pushed to mount a challenge and were consulting with each other about their options.

Publicly, Ms Bishop again backed Mr Abbott on Monday.

"Tony Abbott does have my support," she told reporters in Sydney.

"Today he will outline a strategic direction for us in the lead-up to the next election."

Speaking to reporters at Sydney Airport, Mr Turnbull said he talked to Ms Bishop all the time.

"The only thing we should be interested in on the political front today is the prime minister's speech to the National Press Club," Mr Turnbull said.

Liberals rally around PM ahead of speech

Federal Liberals from Victoria are calling for a bloodless, orderly leadership transition reminiscent of the March 2013 switch of the state's Premier from Ted Baillieu to Denis Napthine.

Federal Liberals from Victoria are calling for a bloodless, orderly leadership transition reminiscent of the March 2013 switch of the state's Premier from Ted Baillieu to Denis Napthine.

Although the state Coalition lost the November 2014 election becoming the first single-term government in Victoria since 1955 the Baillieu-Napthine transition is now being viewed by some as a template to convince Prime Minister Tony Abbott to step aside peacefully.

As one senior federal Liberal put it, the scale of the disaster for the LNP in Queensland has made the Coalition's election loss in Victoria "look like a strong performance" by comparison.

Labor won 47 seats in the 88 seat house at the November, 2014 election, enough to form government with a small majority after a net gain of just four seats.

Mr Baillieu resigned as Liberal leader and premier and March 6, 2013 after conceding he no longer had the support of his colleagues. Dr Napthine was elected virtually unopposed by his party later that night.

Although the switch was never fully explained to voters, the transition was made with a minimum of recriminations, allowing the Coalition to avoid obvious comparisons with federal Labor.

Federal Victorian Liberals say a similar transition represented a "best-case" scenario which should be emulated to avoid caparisons with the Kevin Rudd-Julia Gillard leadership debacle.

"There has been a very strong mood against a random ... leadership tilt to see what happens," a senior Liberal said. "From what I can pick up, the feeling is we need to be grown up about this."
