Impeach Buhari: Court Orders National Assembly To Begin Process by Groovenaija360(m): 3:35pm On Jul 04, 2018
[BREAKING] Court orders National Assembly to begin impeachment process against Buhari

A Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo has granted an order of mandamus to compel the National Assembly to begin impeachment process against President Muhammadu Buhari, based on some alleged constitutional breaches.

Justice Maureen Onyetenu gave the ex parte order on Wednesday, following a motion filed before her by the Chairman, Nigeria Bar Association, Ilesa branch, Mr. Kanmi Ajibola; and a human rights activist, Mr. Suleiman Adeniyi.

The activists had, about three months ago, written to the Senate and the House of Representatives to begin impeachment process against the President, based on the continuous killings and spending without lawmakers’ approval.

However, the duo approached the court seeking an order to compel the National Assembly to begin the process following their refusal to impeach Buhari based on the activists’ letters.

They alleged that the President did not possess a certificate to be qualified as a President and should be impeached based on this and other alleged impeachable offences.


The judge, in her ruling, granted the leave to compel the National Assembly to commence impeachment process against the President.

"-1).They further alleged that the 4th respondent, which is President Buhari in flagrant violation of section 137 (1) (j) of the 1999 constitution presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the purpose of the 2015 presidential election that brought him to the office of the president

“In the light of the 4th Respondent’s placement to continue in the office as the president, he has no certificate and basic requirement upon which this placement to continue in the office can be placed.”

-2).Besides, they accused the president of treating the orders of the court with great disdain and abuses the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at will, particularly from the angle of the observance of the Federal character as contained in section 14 of the constitution.

-3).“The 4th Respondent on the 29th day of May 2015, took an oath of office, among others, to the effect that, he would rule in accordance to and protect the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, particularly section 14 (2) (b) which stipulates that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.”

“In the contrary, the 4th Respondent has proved to be unable to guarantee the security of lives and properties of the citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in fulfilment of his oath of Office. The herdsmen killings of the innocent citizens under the 4th Respondent have been uncountable, unbearab 
le and unprecedented overheating figures in the globe.


-4).“The 4th Respondent in contravention of the due process and sections 80 and 81 of the 1999 constitution spent about $496 Million on the purchase of Tucano Jets without the approval of the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as required by the law.

“The 4th Respondent ordered to be withdrawn, money from the public fund of the Federation without the approval of the National Assembly or the authorization of its act and same used for the purchase of Tucano Jets.

“The 4th Respondent has committed several impeachable offences, that is, gross misconduct.

“By the provision of section 143 of the 1999 constitution, the 1st to 3rd Respondents (The Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the National Assembly) have the statutory duty to impeach the 4th Respondent as the president and Commander in – Chief of Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on gross misconduct.

“The 1st to 3rd Respondents have closed their eyes to the gross misconduct of the 4th Respondent.


Sorry Nigeria is being governed by useless leaders otherwise the president impeachment is long overdue.

Sounds about right. The real crux of the matter being that the people don't have clout.

In other words, they seems about clowns. It would be a disservice to place one's faith in their folly

Judge of the year!
Never knew there are still courageous judges in Nigeria,able to interpret issues purely legally without sentiments and give appropriate judgements.
This judge must be protected before he/she becomes a target for the blood testy leaches that now rule us!
It is now incumbent of president Buhari to produce his true certificate.
We were told it was 'removed' during the campaigns.But as president now,Buhari has the power to compel the army he claimed removed his certificate to produce it wherever they kept it.
Buratai can use his snake charms to ferry it out.

DeBrain045:
Mtcheeeeeeeeeew story for the gods this can never ha[b]ppen NASA just said it so that they will say during buhari government at least they spoke about the government and ordered impeachment even deep down the judge he knows it is a truthful lie.

If the governor of plateau or ekiti wasn't impeached how can they impeach buhari.

All this just ends on the internet and social media[/b]
This is a man with brain.
You just said it all.
END OF DISCUSSION.

the court should go ahead and remove him even wihout impeachment as it should be deemed that Buhari was not validly elected and hence there is no need for impeachment in the first place.
