PDP Senators Begin Secret Moves To Impeach Jonathan

Things are not the same anymore, it is now a case of
'enough is enough' in the political space. Some PDP senators
on Monday started impeachment moves against President
Goodluck Jonathan over what they have described as the
high level of impunity and corruption being condoned by his
Presidency.
Investigations revealed that the PDP senators had started
compiling Jonathan's impeachable offences.
"I was personally consulted this evening over the issue and
I also cross-checked from my colleagues who also told me
that they had been contacted.
"The grouse of the lawmakers, according to the person that
contacted me, was that the last week Thursday's invasion
of the National Assembly by the police was carelessly
handled by the Jonathan administration.
"From the look of things, the proceedings [to impeach
Jonathan] will start on Tuesday because some signatures
had been collected already."
An APC Senator disclosed this development to Punch in
Abuja on Monday.
Another PDP senator, who craved anonymity, also
confirmed the development to Punch, stating that it was
certain that the President was not capable of superintending
over a free and fair election in 2015.
He said, "Our President is not in charge. We have seen that
he had allowed the governors to hijack powers from him. He
is just like a puppet and the earlier we act fast, the better for
us."
Meanwhile, opposition Senators have threatened to raise
the issue of the last Thursday's invasion of the National
Assembly by the security operatives, when the Senate
resumes plenary on Tuesday.
The spokesperson for the group, who is also the member
representing Ekiti Central on the platform of the APC,
Senator Babafemi Ojudu, gave the hint in a telephone
interview with Punch in Abuja.
He said his colleagues were very annoyed with the ways they
were molested by the policemen, who were deployed in the
National Assembly on the orders of the Inspector – General
of Police.
He said majority of his members were of the opinion that
the Police IG should not be allowed to enter into the
chambers, but should be asked to resign for allegedly
ridiculing the federal lawmakers who had done nothing
wrong other than going to carry out their lawful legislative
activities.
He said, "We (APC Senators) are holding a crucial meeting
this (Monday) night to take a final decision on the matter
because majority of us are really angry. Some are even of
the opinion that we should demand the resignation or
sacking of the IGP.
"I can assure you that the issue of the National Assembly
invasion by the police would be raised when we resume
sitting tomorrow (Tuesday ), but we are going to take a single
position on the matter at our meeting tonight," he added.
