The Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Victor Afam Ogene, has denied being part of any move to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan.

In a statement by his media aide, Edward Dibiana, and made available to our correspondent in Asaba on Sunday, Ogene said his declaration followed overwhelming inquiries by his people and associates about his position in the current crisis rocking the National Assembly.

“Besides being a stalwart of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, which has already endorsed President Jonathan’s re-election bid, Ogene is of the firm belief that such a move is not only unwarranted, but would also constitute an unnecessary distraction to the current efforts at national healing, amid mounting security challenges”, the statement said.

Ogene, who represents Ogbaru in the federal house, however, denied having knowledge of any notice or move to remove the President from office.

“I have neither seen any such notice of impeachment, nor would I be part of any such undertaking,” the statement added.

The statement said Ogene’s decision to scale the gate of the National Assembly last Thursday was necessitated by the desire of the lawmakers to ensure their personal safety as the environment was besieged by strange elements, some of whom were hooded.

Ogene said, “As you know, lawmakers got to the National Assembly gate at different times. By the time some of them, including Ogene, massed around the gate, they discovered that some security operatives in plain clothes had infiltrated their ranks and started releasing pepper spray on them, while calling for reinforcement.

“In the midst of the confusion, some of them decided to go over the gate into the National Assembly complex instead of leaving themselves open to torture and humiliation.

“Indeed, they had to choose between being bludgeoned and pepper sprayed to death or make good an escape. Remember that the former Senate President, the late Chuba Okadigbo, was killed in Kano after pepper spray was used on him. No one loves to be a dead hero.”
