Leaders of the Atiku's rebeling Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) group has come up with another threat
that they will begin a move to impeach President
Goodluck Jonathan if he refuses step down or declare
to them that he will not contest for the office of the
President of Nigeria in the 2015 Presidential election.
The PDP rebels claimed that they have started to
compile signatures in both House of Representative
and the Senate to move against the President if he
refuses to meet the four conditions that Atiku
Abubakar lead group gave to the President last week.
“We are demanding that he publicly renounce any
ambition to run a second term or face impeachment
in the National Assembly. The choice is his”, Atiku
group said. They want the President to take an
undertaking that none of them will be arrested or
tried by EFCC for any corruption charge.
The rebel PDP has 6 Northern Governors and
Amaechi, 20 Senators and 57 PDP members in the
House of representatives as members.
In 2007, Atiku Abubakar left with some state
governors, members of the National assembly and
some bigwigs of the Ruling PDP party to ACN and he
was roundly beaten in the presidential election.
Atiku abandoned those he left PDP with in 2007 to
their own fate and begged to be re-admitted back to
PDP in 2010.
Three weeks ago, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar through
some of his aides registered the PDM as a Political
party with INEC.
