Impeachment Threat: Senators, Journalists Misleading The Public – Misau

Senator representing Bauchi central, Isa Hamma Misau yesterday decried how falsehood has beleaguered the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

Mr. Misau spoke angrily when denouncing the sinister reports that the APC-led Senate is plotting the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Reports on national dailies and social media claim that pro-Saraki senators are masterminding the impeachment, THE BRIEF notes.

Reportedly, the alleged impeachment was orchestrated during a closed-door session of the Senate on Tuesday, July 12.

Raising a Point of Order, Misau on Wednesday challenged his distinguished colleagues as well as the media to back the purported rumour with proofs, if any. He chided the ‘responsible’ senator(s) for deliberate propaganda aimed at inciting the executive and legislative arm against each other.

The senator noted that Executive meetings of the legislative chamber (including its details) are meant alone for its members with absolute restriction from aides, journalists, and of course the public.

On top of his voice, Misau quoted a report by Daily Trust that read, “Senators threaten to impeach Buhari” and another one ascribed to him by The Nation, “The Executive should toe the path of dialogue or else the Senate will go for the jugular.”

In reaction to the whole event, Misau said:

“It is unfortunate. Senators will go out after executive sessions to mislead the public on something that has never been discussed here.

“Some of the senators are here… maybe after I’d spoken, if there is any time at the executive session where anyone threatened to impeach Buhari or where… I was not even given the privilege to talk at the executive session.”

I think our journalist are trying but they should as well try to improve on excellent and transparent reporting based on fact/evidence.

Professionalism should always preoccupy their media reporting backup by concrete evidence.
On the issue of suggesting an indoor off camera engagement, I would suggest that transparency is what Nigerians need most Mr. Senator.

Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria

Pinch yourself a bit. This is no longer 2015. Buhari is no longer god of the North. There is hunger in the land. He no longer holds the legendary status.
