SEE GOBE!! 63 Senators Have Signed To Impeach Jonathan.
May Senators dey vex! The level of impunity in the
land under Goodluck Jonathan has reached an all
time high and the heads of the security agencies are
trampling on the laws, disrespecting lawmakers.
Already 63 senators have now signed up to the plan to
impeach President Jonathan in the upper legislative
chamber as of Thursday.
One of the arrowheads of the move to remove
Jonathan in the Senate showed a Punch
correspondent the list containing the signatures of
the 63 senators who have signed the impeachment
notice.
In fact, eight PDP senators are among the Senators
that signed to impeach Jonathan.
There are 109 members in the Senate.
A top APC senator from North-West zone told Punch
that the lawmakers' major grouse was the President's
handling of the economy and political affairs of the
country.
The senator cited poor implementation of the
national budget since 2011, alleged high level of
corruption and "gross disregard" of the legislature at
both the federal and state levels as topping the list of
lawmakers' anger against Jonathan.
Asked if he realised the process of impeachment
could be tedious and cumbersome, the senator said:
"We know and we are prepared to show the President
that we have responsibility to the people and the
nation in general. We are prepared to lay the
impeachment notice anytime from next week.
Meetings are already being held."
Senator Ibrahim Musa (APC Niger North) confirmed
that there were moves by some members of the
Senate to initiate impeachment proceedings against
the President.
PUNCH learnt that the impeachment move against
the President had really gained momentum with the
APC senators mobilising themselves to carry out the
exercise anytime from next week.
