President Buhari faces impeachment threats Over Rising Insecurity

Senators in the National Assembly have given President Muhammadu Buhari six weeks to resolve the worsening insecurity in the country or face impeachment.

According to the Senators they have given the president all that he needed to tackle the security challenges but that the issue kept getting worse even in the federal capital territory (FCT), the seat of power.

The Senators resolution came after two hours of closed door meeting with the Senate leadership headed by the Senate president Ahmad Lawan.

After the closed door meeting, the Senate president did not give the lawmakers the opportunity to present their resolutions on the proposed impeachment of Buhari over insecurity, they staged a walkout to address the Senate Press Corps.

“At the closed section, we agreed to give him (Buhari) an ultimatum of six weeks after which we will impeach him. But the Senate President blocked us,” the Senate Minority Leader, Aduda said when the lawmakers staged a walk out.
“Nowhere is safe in Nigeria, even Abuja. Urgent steps need to be taken and we left the chamber because we’ve given the President six weeks to resolve the issue or we impeach him, ” Aduda said on behalf of the Senators who thronged the press centre.

“We’ve given all the appropriations, resolutions and the support he needs. Our next line of action is to impeach him,” the Senate minority leader, Philip Aduda who spoke on behalf of the entire Senators said.
