Second Republic lawmaker, Junaid
Mohammed, has subtly advised the
Nigerian Senate to impeach President
Muhammadu Buhari who seems to be
“incapacitated and unable to discharge
his duties as President of Nigeria.” Reacting to the news of Buhari
extending his vacation indefinitely, the
elder statesman admonished Nigerians
to rise up against the President’s action
of keeping them in the dark on his
health status should the senate fail to impeach him.
asked the President to tell Nigerians
the truth about his health status. Recall that the President who was
billed to resume duty on Monday, following a 10-day vacation had yesterday announced the extension of his vacation, citing health issues. But the elder statesman in his reaction
claimed that a cabal had started
working to hijack the government. He urged Nigerians to be vigilant in
order to prevent the reoccurrence of
what happened during the
administration of late President, Umaru
Musa Yar’Adua, when his wife and
some politicians allegedly hijacked government.
According to Mohammed, “The
development regarding the President’s
health is a very bad indication and it is
unfortunate Nigeria has found itself in
another quagmire. It is also
unfortunate that Buhari and his handlers are trying to cause another
constitutional crisis rather than telling
Nigerians the truth. This development
is similar to that of Yar’Adua when a
cabal with the help of his wife held this
country to ransom and deceived Nigerians. “During Yar’Adua’s administration, 180
million Nigerians were taken for a ride.
The same people in the Villa under
Buhari have started towing the same
path. I believe Nigerians should rise up
against this if the Senate cannot impeach the President who now seems
to be incapacitated and unable to
discharge his duties as President of
Nigeria. “It is now seen that the cabal do not
want an end to this and that is why
they keep playing us. These are some
of the things we have seen ahead and
have been shouting that Nigerians
should be told the truth about the President’s health. I pray God saves
Nigeria but Nigerians must take their
own destiny into their hands.”

The senate should impeach both Buhari and Osinbanjo alone. We don't want Beavis without Butthead. They both caused this recession and thus both should exit the stage at the same time. Also we don't want afonjas in power, they have done enough damage

People really do not understand constitutionalism or maybe lack comprehension of the words they use. You do not impeach on health grounds! The grounds for impeachment of the President or the VP are clearly stated in the Constitution! When it comes to incapacity due to health, there is a procedure for it which he Senate will need to invoke in order to declare the President medically incapacitated.

or maybe you watch too much presidential movies
