130 members of the House of Representatives yesterday signed an impeachment notice register.

But Speaker Aminu Tambuwal asked his colleagues to consider the barricade of the National Assembly by the police and security agents as part of the price to pay for a sustainable democracy.

Members at the Executive Session of the House, refused to table the impunity of the police to “avoid the situation degenerating into a major crisis.”

Investigation showed that members were angry by the invasion of the National Assembly by the police and security agents.

They alleged that the invasion was backed by the Presidency.

They alleged that President Jonathan met secretly with on Wednesday night with Senate President David Mark and Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha on the shape of yesterday’s House sitting.

Alleging executive recklessness, interference and abuse of police, the members opted to collate signatures for an impeachment notice against President Jonathan.

The lawmakers also rejected the request for the extension of emergency rule in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.

Instead, they asked the President to “invoke Section 8 of the Armed Forces Act to deal with Boko Haram insurgency”.
