The Peoples Democratic Party House of Representatives members have thrown their weight behind the upper chamber as regards the impeachment move against President Muhammadu Buhari chaired by the Senate’s minority leader, over his failure to address the constant insecurity challenges in the country with kidnapping, massive killing.
According to the House of Representatives members, at the expiration of the 6 week ultimatum given to President Buhari to proffer solution to the problem of insecurity in Nigeria and without change, they would be forced to issue an Impeachment notice on the President, just as they vowed that they would immediately commence the gathering of signatures from members to remove Buhari from office.
Speaking today in Abuja at a joint meeting of the Senate and House of Representatives PDP Caucus, the Minority leader of the Lower Chamber, Honourable Ndudi Elumelu, Aniocha/ Oshimili Federal Constituency, Delta State warned that when the process of the Impeachment of the President Buhari commences, it would then realise that we as lawmakers are not confused.
The meeting which took place at hearing room 1, White House, Senate Wing was chaired by the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda, PDP, FCT, had in attendance PDP lawmakers from both the lower and Upper chambers of the National Assembly.
Elumelu said that Nigeria at the moment is at stand, with everything crippled, adding that people can no longer travel because of kidnapping, people can no longer fly because of lack of Aviation fuel, private schools are closed down, farmers can no longer go to the farms for insecurity, among other very difficult issues in the country.
Elumelu in his words added that: “I think that it is high time, the insecurity of this nation is addressed. And of course, we also have the issue of oil theft which has risen, now making it difficult for us to earn income from oil revenue. And these and many others are the reasons we are joining our colleagues in the Senate to ask Mr. President to address the insecurity of this nation within 6 and 8 weeks. Otherwise, we will find the constitutional means to ensure that we serve him an impeachment notice.”
