mascot87: We are tired of this political showdown,can't all of them just shut up for a month and let their be peace?

bloggernaija: Abati
You will be out of work very soon.

Slncere 9gerian: Good retort, Abati.

idumuose:
I opened a thread with the title: Yorubas are the problem with
Nigeria by Sanusi lamido.That paper he presented was thought
provoking.But the mods have removed the thread.Why?
This is because Sanusi said when things are not going the
way of the yorubas,they resort to usiing the media to overheat
the polity.this is exactly what they have started.

ilugunboy: The question is; is the NASS constitutionally empowered to impeach a President for breach of his sworn oath or not?

If yes...where is the treason trash talk coming from a desperate Presidency that is losing the plot daily.

If the NASS can remotely establish GEJ connection with training of snipers...he is as good as gone from Aso Rock.

economia: IS CALLING FOR PRESIDENT'S IMPEACHMENT A TREASON?

Kachi188: STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

BE READY TO PAY THE
PRICE OF TREASON, PRESIDENCY WARNS APC


We have noted with utter disdain, the reckless and
irresponsible call by the APC on Sunday for the National
Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against
President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ordinarily, we would not have dignified Alhaji Lai Mohammed’s
latest vituperations in the service of his paymasters with a
response, but we thought it necessary to warn that the
Federal Government will not standby idly and let the nation be
plunged into unnecessary crises and political instability
because of the desperation and apparent readiness of the APC
spokesman and his gang of power-seeking desperadoes to
sacrifice the well-being of the country on the altar of their
selfish personal ambitions.


The Presidency totally condemns the decision by Alhaji
Mohammed and his party to move further beyond the bounds
of honourable and acceptable political conduct 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 a minority party with doubtful
credentials in the National Assembly, knows fully well that its
attempt to hector and blackmail a Parliament dominated by
loyal members of the President’s party, the PDP, into an
impeachment process, 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 accusations and unjustifiable indictments ahead of the
2015 general elections.


The emptiness and hollowness of the APC’s call for President
Jonathan’s impeachment will be obvious to all objective and
discerning Nigerians who read through the statement issued
by Alhaji Mohammed today. It was long on self-serving
rhetoric and falsehoods, 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 call 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
doorsteps of its own leaders and some of their new friends.
The Presidency also considers it utterly deplorable that the
APC has, in its Machiavellian desperation to 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 against it
and some of its new friends by the PDP.


Alhaji Mohammed’s 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 Mohammed 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 achieve positive national
transformation in all areas in spite of efforts by the
opposition to thwart or disparage the work of his
administration. In this regard, we have noted the undisguised
threat by the APC to foster public insurrection against the
Federal Government if pending legal cases go against it.


We urge Nigerians to take special note of this boastful
indication of an intention to resort to lawlessness. The
Presidency warns that the APC and any persons who make
themselves its willing tools for the breach of public order and
safety will be made to face the full sanctions of the law.
Those who are threatening fire and brimstone should be ready
for consequences of treasonable action. The APC's false copy-
cat allegation that 1, 000 snipers are being trained by the
Jonathan Administration clearly shows that they are now in
cahoots with some other elements who are bent on
discrediting this administration and inciting the public against
it.


President Jonathan is running a people's government. He does
not need any snipers. His legitimacy comes from the people.
Those who are alleging the existence of snipers should step
forward and provide the evidence or shut up forever and go
down in history as spineless cowards, driven by sheer greed
and indecency.
We dismiss the APC’s call for the President’s impeachment as
opportunistic, partisan and ill-motivated. We call on patriots
to make the necessary distinction between such reckless
violations of civic duty and the urgent need to protect the
integrity of the Nigerian nation against those who for selfish
reasons have declared their readiness to stop at nothing.

agabaI23: If you read the piece you would've seen What was referred to as treason.

plaindealer:


What part?

plaindealer:


What part?

Sunny_bobo: Nuff said. Cause or partake in crisis, face charges of treasonable felony.

Y'all know the price. Ask Awo.

No wonder ndu_chuks has decided to go on a never ending business trip.

naija2dabone: WHY? WHY? WHY?

Why is everybody afraid of a free and fair contest. Why is OBJ, APC, IBB, etc afraid of facing GEJ at the pool? They say he hasnt done a thing, that he is clueless, that the masses are against him, that they have the support of G7 governors and yet they are jettery of 2015. WHY/

The only method acceptable to change a government in nigeria of today is only through the ballot box.

Lie Mohammed, OBJ, IBB please take note.

Cheers

donphilopus: For those of us who do not know what treason means!

plaindealer:


I was expecting the treason part, not this meaningless rant.

Omo_Tier1: While I would not want Jonathan to be impeached, however, if He allows the ignoble Abatti to continue to stoke the fire, by end of Q1 in 2014, GEJ might be cooling off in house arrest.

As ti stands, GEJ do not have control of the House of Representative, neither does He have control of the Senate. If GEJ had any wisdom left, now is the time to sheath the sword and focus at delivering on promises, by ensuring whoever succeeds Him in 2015 has a stable foundation to lead Nigeria forward to greater heights.

To many of us the aspire to lead in whatever capacity, GEJ's administration should be a lesson for us all. When you surround yourself with self centered folks, you will end up being a non-achiever.

OsunOriginal:

Would you please paste this on Abati's facebook? The man (another PHD holder) doesn't seem to know what a treasonable offence is.

naija2dabone:

Bros forget that thing.


The only acceptable mean of changing a government of the Nigeria of today is ONLY via the ballot box. period.

APC should brace up for the contest of 2015 and not seek for an easier route to Aso Rock because there is non other than the ballot box.

Omo_Tier1:
Wait until a motion is table in NASS, and a change of guard is effected in Senate, I am sure you would wake up from your dream. FYI, there are several ways to change an inept leadership in a democratic setting, of which IMPEACHMENT is one of them.

If GEJ refuse to retrace His foot steps, He will be impeached and nothing will happen, and government will go on! At it stands, He does not have the support of the masses to survive any impeachment.

naija2dabone:

The treason part is way beyound your comprehension level. start by reciting this part first
