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.
Reports
state that the Reps intend to begin impeachment process against the President
immediately it reconvenes next Wednesday. Continue…
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.
