Punch is reporting that 63 senators as of yesterday
Thursday November 27th have signed up to the plan to
impeach President Goodluck Jonathan in the upper
legislative chamber.
They reported that one of the arrowheads of the move to
remove Jonathan in the Senate showed one of their
correspondents the list containing the signatures of the
senators. A source told the paper that 8 PDP senators were
among the signatories to the planned impeachment notice.
There are 109 members in the Senate.

An All Progressives Congress senator from the North-
West zone, who asked not to be named, told our
correspondent that the lawmakers’ major grouse was
the President’s handling of the economy and political
affairs of the country.
The senator cited poor implementation of the national
budget since 2011, alleged high level of corruption
and “gross disregard” of the legislature at both the
federal and state levels as topping the list of
lawmakers’ anger against Jonathan.
Asked whether he realised that the process of
impeachment could be tedious and cumbersome, the
senator said, “ We know and we are prepared to show
the President that we have responsibility to the people
and the nation in general.
“We are prepared to lay the impeachment notice
anytime from next week. Meetings are already being
held.”
Senator Ibrahim Musa (APC Niger North) confirmed
that there were moves by some members of the Senate
to initiate impeachment proceedings against the
President but failed to give details.
“I think there is something like that but I don’t have
the details, it is still coming as a rumour,” Musa said.
