The opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Senate caucus may have
begun impeachment move against President Muhammadu Buhari in retaliation
of the Federal Government suits slammed against its President, Dr.
Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, Punch Newspaper has
revealed.
The PDP Senators have begun compilation of Buhari’s IMPEACHABLE offenses, an unnamed senator revealed to Punch Newspaper.
As reported by our source, the Senate caucus of the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party have ruled out the possibility of fielding any
candidate as a replacement for Ekweremadu, in case the court finds him
guilty of the forgery case preferred against him and Saraki.
According to a ranking senator from the South-East geopolitical zone the
emergence of Ekweremadu as deputy senate president in the first
instance made the opposition senators to play along with the
administration of Buhari.
He said, “The emergency of Senators Saraki and Ekweremadu, led to the
unity we had experienced in the senate and we have, to the best of our
knowledge, tried our best to ensure that we support the government in
the interest of the nation.
“This Buhari’s government had, times without number, committed great
impeachable offences that we overlooked simply because we wanted the
nation to move forward. But now that it is obvious that they prefer war.
We are also ready for battle.”
Another PDP senator, who is a new comer from the South-South
geopolitical zone, told Punch Newspaper that they were already compiling
impeachable offences against Buhari, since he was also bent on creating
crisis and causing confusion in the federal parliament.
He said, “What the executive is doing by its actions is to cause
confusion and create tension in the country and we are ready for them.
It is now glaring that the APC does not mean well for this country.
“For instance, is this type of self-inflicted, self-imposed crisis on
the country by Buhari, necessary at this time when the country is facing
the worst social, economic and political challenges in its history?
“All hands are expected to be on the deck to halt the free fall of the
value of naira against major international currencies, tackle the issue
of mono import dependent economy, solve the power problem and resolve
the crisis in the Niger Delta.
Attempts to get the spokesperson for the senate, to speak on the issue
failed as calls put across to his mobile line dropped while text
messages sent to him did not connect.
The PDP Senator caucus last week said it has withdrawn its earlier
supports for the Buhari’s government because of bad treatment meted on
its members. A move which has been countered by the APC and Labour Party
Senate caucuses, which on the contrary furnished the President with a
vote of confidence
