Indications emerged yesterday that members of the House of Representatives are on the same page with their Senate counterparts in their bid to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan.
It was gathered that the assembly members would start impeachment
process against the President immediately it reconvenes next Wednesday. This is just as the lawmakers coordinating the impeachment process have
disclosed that they have identified over 50 constitutional violations against
the President, which would form part of the impeachment notice.
A ranking officer in the House who revealed this said both chambers have
resolved to work together for the common good of the country by impeaching
President Jonathan for “incompetence, corruption and unprecedented impunity.”
He revealed that the impeachment plot against Jonathan was not a partisan
affair, explaining that lawmakers from all the political parties have identified
with the “cause” and will not give up until the President is “sent packing.”
“I’m sure you read the reports today that senators are going to move against
Jonathan. Now you can confirm that the impeachment thing is not about APC. It
is a non-partisan cause. We have all resolved that the man (President Jonathan)
must go.
“Never in the history of Nigeria has a leader displayed such crass
incompetence as we have seen in President Jonathan. It is glaring and you can
feel it. Mr. President, with due respect, has shown that he is not capable of
running this country. That is the basic truth”, he stated.
According to the lawmaker, over 50 impeachable offences have been identified
against the president and members of the House would work closely with the
Senate to ensure that the president is impeached.
