Should the house of Rep continue the impeachment against the president ?
« on: May 18, 2005, 02:14 PM »

Please, let's discuss the impeachment process initiated agaist the President Obasanjo by the House of Representatives.

Is it timely and good for our nascent democracy? Will the impeachment won't spell doom for our democratic structure? Will this move see the light of the day going by the antecedent of the past republic, Ghali Na'abba did same and did not succeed.

Please post your comments. God bless Nigeria.

The House of Rep is not serious. Agreed that the President has violated some sections of the Constitution, where was the House of Rep all these while.

My opinion is that they want to use this as a ploy of getting back at Obasanjo for exposing them and as well make it look as if they are working. Besides, by the time a few "Ghana Must Go" changes hand, we'll hear another story.

Anyway, they can't fool Nigerians as we know better.

I just think we should not add sentiments to this issue,if baba iyabo deserves to be impeached let it be so,as long as it is a proper process.
We seem to forget that the president himself should not be above the law,why do we have the 3 arms of government if not for checks and balances,it is this kind of apathy that still gives the president guts to do and undo. Afterall the supreme court has ruled that the presidency has no right to hold back the monthly revenue allocation of Lagos state local governments,do we actually realize the impact of these on the masses,just because Lagos state is ok financially to a level where it to be osun state what will be the case?
My fellow Nigerians let the law take its full course,we shall move on with or without the like of obasanjo and his recycled leadership.

What is there to gain by impeaching him?  How does this move the country forward?  Are we supposed to take them serious this time?

Ok, so let's say the impeachment is successful.  Where then do we go from there?

I agree with you @razor.

The House of representatives are not serious. They are just doing this impeachment process out of vendetta against the President for exposing their corruption and inefficiencies. Where have they been all these times?

It cannot succeed. Baba Iyabo knows how to appease or scatter them when he deems fit.

Yes! Majority who responded to this issue are positive in their approach. Where were these people when the heat of Lagos local Govt council was hot? Why is it that the house of Rep itself are yet to ratify the Memoranda sent to them by Lagos state about the Local Govts in question.
They want a revenge of the President's media outcry of dirty and shady deals.
I know baba will finger out the rig leader and kill him politically as he did to Ghali Umar Na'aba. Just watch out.
