Lawmakers Vow to Fight President’s Impeachment Bid by Nobody: 4:31pm On Sep 23, 2013
** Impeach President Jonathan, Get N10million And Car Each- G7 Governors To Lawmakers.

The last may not have been heard of the crisis rocking the PDP as indications emerged over the weekend that loyalists of the Baraje faction of the party in the House have been allegedly promised N10 million and a car each to initiate impeachment proceedings against the president.

Although it could not be ascertained if the promise has been redeemed, THISDAY learnt that the largesse was dangled before the lawmakers by the seven aggrieved governors who are the financiers of the splinter group known as the New PDP and the brains behind the walkout staged by some delegates at the mini-national convention of the party held on August 31.

But the leader of the G57 lawmakers in the House, Hon. Andrew Uchendu, has dismissed the allegation of inducement to impeach Jonathan as untrue.

Uchendu said he and his colleagues were not after Jonathan and would not allow a situation where the president's name would be dragged into the ongoing crisis in the party.

“It is not true. It is completely untrue. As the leader of the group of lawmakers in the House who have endorsed the vision of Baraje and the seven governors, our focus is not to impeach Jonathan.

“As a founding member of the party, I am putting my integrity on the line and I can tell you that what we are agitating for is that the party should be repositioned to enable it perform better in future elections.

“The party is currently in a bad shape and if we go to the next elections as factionalised as the party is today, we stand the risk of losing such an election and that is not what we wish on our party,” Uchendu said.

A source close to the mainstream PDP had told THISDAY that the visit by Baraje and the seven governors was designed to test the ground and mobilise support for the actualisation of the impeachment agenda.

If this is true, that means the N2.5million for each lawmaker to impeach their leaders is also real.

grin grin grin I de laugh like Obasanjo kia kia kia.It would take more than the legislators to impeach the president!! Even if the legislature successfully musters the required 2/3 majority it would still not be enough to remove the president.It would also involve the judiciary and I bet you that lots of kangaroo judgements would be procured on which GEJ would hinge on to render their actions null and void.

Simply put an African president cannot be impeached!! The processes involved are just too vague and cumbersome for it to be achieved.Furthermore the powers the president wields is just too enormous for such a project to see the light of the day!!

Benin City Social-economic activities paralise due to heavy downpour (photos)
Socio-economic activities and vehicular movement in Benin metropolis were literally brought to a halt Monday, following the downpour that lasted several hours.

Best Orator reports that some vehicles and residential houses in Ugbowo area were submerged as a result of the magnitude of the flood. Flooding took over several residential areas and major streets in Benin metropolis as a result of the down pour which lasted several hours. The situation at textile mill forced motorists to abandon their vehicles hoping to continue their journey when the flood subsides.
