No fewer than 63 senators have signalled
their intentions to commence
impeachment moves against President
Goodluck Jonathan, just as 215 members
of the House of Representatives have
allegedly signed the impeachment
register.
Daily Sun gathered yesterday evening
that eight senators on the platform of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had
joined the ranks of All Progressives
Congress (APC) to start the impeachment
process.
A ranking senator from the APC
confirmed the existence of the list and
also, disclosed that some members of the
ruling party in the Red Chamber
“willingly wrote their names and
appended their signatures to commence
impeachment proceedings against
President Jonathan.”
Reminded that the impeachment process,
as stipulated in the constitution, was a
lengthy process and that the Seventh
Senate might not have the time to see
through the process, he replied: “We will
start the president’s impeachment once
we get the required number. Some of
the PDP senators have already signed the
register.”
Pointing at some of the law books on the
shelf in his office, the senator insisted
that lawmakers “are versed in the law.
We know what to do.”
It was gathered that some of the
president’s alleged offences reportedly
compiled by the senators included police
invasion of the National Assembly on
Thursday, November 20; disregard for
the parliament as evidenced in the
invasion of Ekiti House of Assembly,
persistent non-implementation of
national budgets, even after the National
Assembly had consistently warned that it
was a breach of the constitution.
“The president has consistently usurped
the powers of the National Assembly and
it is time to put a stop to that. The
constitution has granted us the powers
to impeach any president that breaches
the spirit and letters of the same
constitution,” he said.
He also disclosed that the same process
was on in the House of Representatives
but declined to confirm whether PDP
members had signed the impeachment
register.
