Reasons Why President Muhammadu Buhari May Be Impeached By The Senate by winkmart: 9:14am On Jul 14, 2016
This is a list of probable reasons why President Buhari could be untimely shown the exit door from the corridors of power by the Nigerian senate of the 8th assembly.



No Nigerian President or Head of state has ever been impeached, President Muhammadu Buhari may be the first to walk down that lonely road. Since his inauguration in office, President Buhari has become bent on poking the bear. The President seems to be at war at every front, some would say, ''He's not interested in completing his term''.


An army of powerful men from the President's own political party - the All Progressives Congress, APC and the opposition - the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP may be forced to gang up and teach the President a major lesson ''this is democracy not military rule. Chief amongst those who may want the President out are Nigerian senators.

The President has been fingered in the many crisis that have rocked the 8th Senate.
On Tuesday, 12th June, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe during an executive session openly suggested that President Buhari should be impeached. Here are 5 reasons why the Senate may impeach President Buhari :

1. To save Senate President Bukola Saraki
Since Saraki became President of the senate against the wish of his party there have been multiple attempts to remove him. Today, the Senate President is one of the most embattled politicians in Nigeria. His troubles seem to have no regard for his position as Nigeria's Number three [3] citizen. In country like Nigeria, who else can trouble the Number 3 man except the numbers 1 and 2 men?

2. Northernization of Nigeria
Alot of high ranking Nigerians believe that President Muhammadu Buhari is on a mission to northernize Nigeria. His political appointments have raised major questions about the country's unity. More regions are crying for restructuring of the country. The President is fast losing even the support of Northern Senators some of whom have openly admitted that his appointments have been biased.

3. Disregard for the Senate
''it's time to call a spade a spade and the Nigerian Senate and Legislature deserves to be respected", Senator Biodun Olujimi cried out on Tuesday 12th, July. The outcry cry was caused by a recent remark by President Buhari's highest ranking appointee SGF Babachir Lawal on the National Confab and Intervention Projects.
Buhari and his appointees have shown gross disregard for the Nigerian senate and the Senators are getting tired of being disrespected. They want a President who respects their position.

4. To save their own seats
The Nigerian economy is sinking and the common man on the street is getting more dissatisfied by the day. Most people on the streets blame President Buhari for the hardship. People are increasingly dissatisfied that the President is ''fighting corruption'' while allowing his people to starve. When the Nigerian populace turn against their Senators, President Buhari may become a scapegoat.

5. Handling of 2016 Budget
Over the years, there have been rumours of major budget padding. Nigerian Senators allegedly extort the executive before any budget is passed. The 2016 budget was almost passed in the same way until stories of budget padding leaked to the press. The presidency quickly distanced itself from the misconduct and went on to submit different versions of the budget which were allegedly de-padded to the National assembly.
Without sharp practices like budget padding most senators will never recover their campaign funds. Renowned for their selfish ways, President Buhari may have to go so that Senators can recoup their lost monies.

This is a Joke. The reasons are not strong enough and there are procedures for the impeachment which would be hard for them to meet.

Sometimes when I go through some articles on this forum, I just laugh at the ignorance displayed on such articles. You people think buhari will be impeached because of one lame man that calls himself saraki? Who is even saraki when real politicians like kwankwaso are mentioned? Funny though. So the northern senators will sit and watch how their supposed leader will be impeached by some minority disgruntled senators? So the likes of kwankwaso, lawal, marafa and co will join the bandwagon of 'buhari impeachers'? Lol.


I know some buhari loyalists will rather have that house of jokers called NASS burnt to the ground than allow some bunch of jokers impeached their leader. And that's the reality on ground

Zombies will prefer to die or become full blown boko haram fanatics than to see their god impeached . But what God approve no bigots can stand against. One spotted above , his existence is to defend his creator (bubu), just check his topics and know if he using is senses.

All argument presented are lame and an attempt to save one man - Olusola Saraki. The senate alone cannot impeach the President, even the whole national Assembly alone cannot impeach a Nigerian President. Obasanjo was changing senate Presidents like he changed women, and the senate did not make any noise? Jonathan locked the national assembly and house of reps members had to scale the gate to gain access, did we hear any talk of impeachment? Abeg leave matter for Mathias.
