PDP Senators Begin Jonathan’simpeachment Move by haffaze777(m): 6:08am On Nov 25, 2014
Some Peoples Democratic Party’s senators on
Monday started impeachment moves against
President Goodluck Jonathan over what they
described as the high level of impunity and
corruption allegedly being condoned by his
administration.
Investigations by our correspondent revealed that
the PDP senators had started compiling
impeachable offences against the President.
An All Progressives Congress member of the
Senate, who confided the development in our
correspondent on the condition of anonymity,
explained that his aggrieved PDP colleagues in
the upper chamber had started reaching out to the
opposition senators.
He said, “I was personally consulted this evening
over the issue and I also cross-checked from my
colleagues who also told me that they had been
contacted.
“The grouse of the lawmakers, according to the
person that contacted me, was that Jonathan’s
handling of the last week Thursday’s invasion of
the National Assembly by the police was
carelessly handled by the Jonathan
administration.
“From the look of things, the proceedings will
start on Tuesday because some signatures had
been collected already.”
Another senator from the PDP, who also craved
anonymity, also confirmed the development to our
correspondent stating that it was certain that the
President was not capable of superintending over
a free and fair election in 2015.
He said, “Our President is not in charge. We have
seen that he had allowed the governors to hijack
powers from him. He is just like a puppet and the
earlier we act fast, the better for us.”
Meanwhile, opposition members in the Senate
have threatened to raise the issue of the last
Thursday’s invasion of the National Assembly by
the security operatives, when the Senate resumes
plenary today (Tuesday).
The spokesperson for the group, who is also the
member representing Ekiti Central on the platform
of the APC, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, gave the
hint in a telephone interview with our
correspondent in Abuja.
Ojudu said his colleagues were very annoyed with
the ways they were maltreated and molested by
the policemen, who were deployed in the National
Assembly on the orders of the Inspector – General
of Police.
He said majority of his members were of the
opinion that the IGP should not be allowed to
enter into the chambers, but should be asked to
resign for allegedly ridiculing the federal
lawmakers who had done nothing wrong other
than going to carry out their lawful legislative
activities.
He said, “We (APC Senators) are holding a
crucial meeting this (Monday) night to take a
final decision on the matter because majority of
us are really angry. Some are even of the opinion
that we should demand the resignation or sacking
of the IGP.
“I can assure you that the issue of the National
Assembly invasion by the police would be raised
when we resume sitting tomorrow (Tuesday ), but
we are going to take a single position on the
matter at our meeting tonight,” he added.
However, the Chairman, Senate Committee on
Information, Media and Public Affairs, Senator
Eyinnaya Abaribe, had in an interview with our
correspondent, on Saturday, maintained that the
Senate would not be thrown into any chaotic
situation over the Thursday’s invasion of the
National Assembly complex by security
operatives.
He had admitted that the IGP would appear
before the Senate but assured the public that the
matter would be handled with maturity.
He had said, “The Senate will discuss the
invasion of the National Assembly by security
operatives when it reconvenes on Tuesday.
Already we have invited the Inspector – General
of Police to find out who gave the order for the
harassment of federal lawmakers last Thursday.
“So, I do not anticipate any form of stormy
session during our sitting next Tuesday. I can
assure you that the Senate is made up of
gentlemen and women who are very senior
citizens of the Nigerian society.
“Therefore, you cannot expect the Senate to act,
except in a decorous manner.”
Abaribe also said that the Senate would still go
ahead with deliberations on the emergency rule in
the three north-eastern states of Adamawa, Borno
and Yobe contrary to insinuations that the matter
had ended since the period of emergency had
lapsed.
He said, “We had invited the service chiefs and
we will find out from them, the update on the
insurgency situation in the north-eastern states of
Adamawa, Borno and Yobe so that we can
address the issue of the state of emergency
requested by President Goodluck Jonathan.”

Sauce?




Take it or leave it, Mr. President can never be impeached! The aggrieved senators should engage themselves in real grassroot politics rather than waiting for an automatic ticket. The president can't please all of them at his own detriment.

It is impossible to impeach a president in Nigeria. The constitution makes sure of that. The process is just too cumbersome.

Yes, but if they are serious about it for genuine reasons other than selfish interests it unsettles the presidency and makes them sit tight. This happened during OBJ's tenure and there was panic and PDP used all its powers to quench it. If true it's PDP members in the senate initiating it then means they are substantiating the claims of the opposition and confirming to the country GEJ is a monumental failure. PDP do not want that just 2 months to the general election.

Bed Bugs Treatment For Your Home
A look at some of the most effective bed bugs treatment methods that you can do it yourself to control and kill bed bugs without hiring expensive exterminators.


1. Vacuum Cleaning
Vacuuming is one of the primary steps to getting rid of bed bugs. You should thoroughly vacuum the entire house if you suspect there are bed bugs in your home. Vacuum all mattresses in your house, including any upholstered furniture such as sofa, as well as curtains. Use the vacuum's crevice suction tool for deep vacuuming especially for the bed frames, headboards and any seams and cracks on your walls or floors that the regular vacuum tool cannot clean. Last but not least, do vacuum the carpets and rugs too.
Immediately after vacuuming, dispose of the vacuum bag in a sealed plastic bag and trash it outside away from the house.
Note: Although vacuuming will not kill bed bugs, it can help to control and get rid of most of them before your whole house or apartment get infested. For complete elimination, you will need to combine vacuuming with several other bed bugs treatment and removal methods.
2. Thermal Treatment
Bed bugs are very sensitive to heat and are easily killed when exposed to temperature over 100°F (or above 38°C) . Therefore, you can use steamers that are commonly used by most professional exterminators to kill both bed bugs and their eggs naturally.
Thermal treatment can also be applied to your bedding and clothes. For bed linen and garments, soak or wash them with hot water for 10 to 20 minutes and then set your dryer to the heat cycle to completely eliminate them.
In additional, bed bug steamer can also be used to clean and sterilize toys, stuffed animals, shoes, luggages or any other items that cannot be easily wash with hot water.
3. Bed Bug Spray
In general, bed bug spray are able to kill bed bugs upon contact with them. Bed bug sprays work by penetrating the exoskeleton of the bugs with a formulation of salts and surfactants, causing them to dehydrate and die. Sprays can be applied on mattresses, box springs, furniture, baseboards and are most effective treatment for hard to reach areas like a crack or crevice.
It is recommended that one should purchase an odourless and non-residual spray such as the STERI-FAB Bed Bug Disinfectant (that kills bed bugs on contact) so that it will not leave behind any residual or chemical that may be harmful to people and pets. STERI-FAB water-based formula also ensures that it will not stain fabrics or water safe surfaces and it is perfectly safe to use on your mattress and sleeping areas.
Get STERI-FAB Bed Bug Spray - Control, Get Rid and Kill Bed Bugs -- $16.49
4. Mattress Covers and Encasements
Using a waterproof, hypoallergenic, zippered mattress cover labeled "allergen rated" or "for dust mites" is a simple way to prevent and kill bed bugs. A bed bug proof mattress cover can prevent any bed bugs from crawling in and out. By placing a cover over the mattress, new bugs are unable to enter and the ones living under it cannot escape and will die due to lack of food. The mattress cover will not only trap the existing bugs, it will also ensure that the eggs do not become adults and reproduce, causing further infestation. This way, you do not need to purchase a new mattress.
It is recommended to keep the cover on for at least one year to keep bed bugs out of the mattress, and eventually kill any bed bugs trapped within.
Protect your mattress and box springs with Bed Bug Proof Bedding Encasements
5. Diatomaceous Earth



Diatomaceous earth is the fossilized shell from aquatic diatoms. It is a 100% natural and organic pest control dust that scratches and cuts the exoskeletons of hard bodied insects on contact, causing them to dehydrate and asphyxiate. Diatomaceous earth lasts virtually forever if left untouched and provides continuous and long-lasting control of insect pests.
Simply sprinkle the diatomaceous earth around the bed, in cracks and crevices and along other hotspots where you believe bed bugs live and hide. Once that is done, any insects or bed bugs that crawl through the diatomaceous earth will die within an hour of contact.
Get Mother Earth D BedBug & Insect Control Diatomaceous Earth Powder
A bed bug infestation can post significant nusiance and health problems and therefore, should be dealt with immediately. Since bed bugs can survive for several months without feeding, treatments should be repeated weekly for several weeks to fully eliminate any infestations so as to ensure a bedbug-free home.
