The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the national assembly to “commence the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari for the various constitutional breaches, especially the submission of two versions of the 2016 budget”.

The party made the demand after its national working committee meeting in Abuja on Thursday.

The party urged the national assembly to “thoroughly investigate the shameful act, including the distortion and banding of figures to accommodate their personal interest and ensure that appropriate sanctions is meted to whoever has a hand in the dubious action that has brought embarrassment to the legislative body”.

It also asked the ministers of finance, budget and national planning to resign, “having failed to provide the much needed capacity in the management of the nation’s economy resulting in the embarrassing crashing of the nation’s currency to as low as N305 to a dollar”. The PDP asked the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to resign for plunging the country’s currency policy into chaos, an action it said had thrown investors into total confusion. The party admonished the government “to stop pretending that it knows what to do when feelers from the seat of power show clearly that Nigerians by voting for APC have just discovered they boarded a once chance bus”.

“We sympathise with Nigerians who are seriously undergoing terrible hardship because of the now obvious inept leadership of APC despite the promise of one naira to a dollar,” it said in a statement.

“What hope can a government that allows its currency to break a 43-year-old record crashing to over N300 to one dollar offer and yet does not show it has clear focus of what to do?”

The party said that APC government, rather than address grievous national issues created by its lack of capacity to govern, resorted to violation of people’s rights in the name of fighting corruption.

It observed that “the continued detention of its spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, for nearly 10 days in clear breach of his fundamental human rights and reiterates its earlier call on the anti graft body to release him unconditionally with immediate effect”. The PDP called on “all lovers of democracy especially the international community to note the fact that rule of law and respect for citizens’ rights, essential ingredients of civil liberty have taken flight in Nigeria under Buhari’s watch”.

thanks

Jobless wailers,them don forget say dem still ve 7 nd half years to go

I completely support PDP on this call. Attempting to smuggle a doctored Appropriation Bill into the Senate is a heinous crime worst than Dasukigate. For a president whose worshipers tag as Mr. Integrity to entertain this kind of shenanigan raises question about his democratic credential, competence and respect to the Legislative arm. Either the president or his SSA on Assembly Matters must face the music.

We should commend d president 4 listening to us on nairaland and Nigeria masses in general for reducing aso rock feeding from 500million naira in d first version to 100Million naira in the new version.

This is better than in d past were president defend 1billion naira for Aso rock feeding

We should commend d president for reducing Car in presidency from 3.4billion in d first version to 340million in the new one. That is 90% drop.

I agree he was not well advised on how to go about it, but it was done with d interest of d masses. But we should focus on end point of the action and not on frivolities PDP are feeding d masses with.

We should understand that Buhari was not under any compulsion to reduce some of those extravagance. He could have ignored d criticism of d masses and leave the waste in d budget. But he listen to us and amended it.

Why is it not an issue in the House of Representative? The Budget was not only given to Senate. The budget was presented to Joint National Assembly. Not to senate alone. House of rep has no issue with d amendment. But criminal Saraki in d senate is trying to over blow it to protect himself from code of conduct tribunal because the supreme court decision is close by on the 5th of February. He is wasting his time. If Saraki thinks he can connive with PDP to blackmail the president into killing the anti-corruption drive of the president, he is making a big mistake .

The Budget has not be signed into law. It has not be approve. So it can be changed or ammended. The president saw an error and chose to correct. He may have been advised wrongly on how to do it, but the overall intention is noble. Nigerians should learn to praise noble things rather than destroying it with useless technicalities and partisanship.



PDP should not be taken seriously because they dont care a bit about Nigeria masses.
They only care about protecting thier criminal members and looters.

Next time the president must ensure he prove read every document before making it public to avoid this kind of embarrassment in the future.

Buhari thank you 4 listening to d masses

Buhari thank you 4 listening to d masses

What's wrong with you? We should commend the President for presenting national budget to the NA with all sorts of funfare and pageantry without doing a thorough job in vetting and scrutinising it?
Have you forgotten how he sanctioned the TSA policy without knowing its intricacies thereby throwing up a monumental fraud of N8biilion?

Buhari should be reprimanded for exhibiting such crudity and naivety despite fighting for the presidency for 12 years .He's a monumental disgrace to the black race.

Buhari thank you 4 listening to d masses

You urgently need brain transplant. What is wrong with Nigerians? Presidency presenting two different versions of National budget and, one clandestinely, to the National Assembly means it has been doctored and is a serious crime that attracts jail term. Supporting the government doesn't mean when they do wrong I shouldn't condemn it. Oh! What type of people do we have in this country, I'm really in pain with your comment. Does it mean that Nigeria cannot be redeemed? What a shame! Mtchwwwwwwwwwwww
