Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, retd, Thursday, warned against any move to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari.

Gowon said doing so would not augur well for the nation’s fledging democracy.

The former Head of States said this in Abuja on Thursday while playing host to members of the Northern Leaders and Stakeholders Assembly, NLSA.

He said that disagreements remain vital components of a democracy, but maintained that “such disagreements could be handled differently without necessarily taking the impeachment option.”

Gowon said this against the backdrop of the submission of a report on motion for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari over the purchase of $496 million Tucano Aircrafts without legislators’ approval.

He said, “It may be too early in the day to start impeaching Presidents in Nigeria. Otherwise, there is no President that will not get impeached because of these interest groups.

He called on the different groups in the North to “come together to project a common front” adding that “too many groups could send wrong signals to other parts of the country.”

“We need to come together as a people. The Arewa Consultative Forum, Northern Elders Forum and the Northern Leaders and Stakeholders Assembly should come together or we would end up polarising the North,” he warned.

Smh

The same set of people that are unable to pass 2018 budget by almost middle of the year want an urgent situation to pass through their table?

God, please help us to correct the mistake we made on 2015.

Voting Buhari was that mistake

By the time herdsmen remember you and your village your brain will surely reset.
Thank God the Internet never forgets.

You never voted for him before, so why the rant?

Baba must go by fire, by force by fraud come rain come shine

Gowon has always been a fence sitter on every issue

...said by someone that did not have PVC!

Gowon should stick with offering his usually unanswered prayer for Nigeria.


He is one of the visionless rulers we have had in this country.
Was this not the same man that said the problem of Nigeria is not money, but how to spend it!


If he had invested wisely those funds he did not know what to do with, perchance the story of the future that is now would have been different.
