They just want to come and make noise and pass enforceable motions to massages the egos of the ipob yoots.

Retired Justice Onnoghen Walter Wike Is A Goner Already, every other thing is mere academics.

Mark my words. NOTHING will happen.

Just as it was difficult for APC to unseat Saraki as SP...

It's hard to reinstall Walter Onnoghen as CJN

It's too late. PDP had better focus on preparing for elections.

The Northerners are expert in politics, they already smelt that Atiku's ambitions were dead on arrival and communicated by a wave of defections

If by chance, Buhari is impeached (0% probability), THAT'S WHEN THE COUNTRY WILL CRASH
nothing will happen. The president is not bigger than Nigeria.

Sadly for Saraki and his crooked and corrupt kind in the Senate and the House, they won't be around after the election next month.

Even sef, where are they going to get the 2/3 from? In their dreams of course.

PDP are just putting the CJN in more trouble by going all out to defend the CJN, even to the point of suspending their campaign. This will just put the CJN in the spotlight for EFCC and DSS to probe further. And by the time they do, I'm sure they will find more millions of dollars in the forgetful CJN's pockets. I will advice the CJN to just cooperate and cut a deal to get a soft landing, retire with full benefits and move on, otherwise, this battle might cost him too much to bear. PDP's actions are too suspicious and it looks like they were depending on the CJN controlled courts to win the elections, not by votes. That plan has collapsed. Ndo! grin
YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL MY BTOTHER. THERE IS NO WAY ON THIS EARTH SARAKI WILL GET TWO THIRD TO IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT. THE STUPID SARAKI THAT CAN GET THE SENATE TO DEBATE MINIMUM WAGE.

The Senate will reconvene on Tuesday, Channels Television has confirmed.

A source in the National Assembly disclosed that the lawmakers would reconvene to discuss the suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria.

https://all-gists..com/2019/01/just-in-senate-to-reconvene-tuesday-debate-onnoghens-suspension.html

. This is another exercise in futility.The constitution is silent on suspension. Removal is from recommendation of the senate or NJC....Buhari only suspended him pending the determination of his case. There should be no noise about that......Additionally will northern senators abandon Buhari and allow you to impeach him?Impossible!
