Some Peoples Democratic Party’s
senators on Monday started
impeachment moves against President
Goodluck Jonathan over what they
described as the high level of impunity
and corruption allegedly being condoned
by his administration.
Investigations by our correspondent
revealed that the PDP senators had
started compiling impeachable offences
against the President.
An All Progressives Congress member of
the Senate, who confided the
development in our correspondent on the
condition of anonymity, explained that his
aggrieved PDP colleagues in the upper
chamber had started reaching out to the
opposition senators.
He said, “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 Jonathan’s handling of 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
will start on Tuesday because some
signatures had been collected already.”
Another senator from the PDP, who also
craved anonymity, also confirmed the
development to our correspondent 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 members in the
Senate 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 today (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 our
correspondent in Abuja.
Ojudu said his colleagues were very
annoyed with the ways they were
maltreated and 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 IGP 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.
However, the Chairman, Senate
Committee on Information, Media and
Public Affairs, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe,
had in an interview with our
correspondent, on Saturday, maintained
that the Senate would not be thrown into
any chaotic situation over the Thursday’s
invasion of the National Assembly
complex by security operatives.
He had admitted that the IGP would
appear before the Senate but assured the
public that the matter would be handled
with maturity.
He had said, “The Senate will discuss the
invasion of the National Assembly by
security operatives when it reconvenes on
Tuesday. Already we have invited the
Inspector – General of Police to find out
who gave the order for the harassment of
federal lawmakers last Thursday.
“So, I do not anticipate any form of
stormy session during our sitting next
Tuesday. I can assure you that the
Senate is made up of gentlemen and
women who are very senior citizens of
the Nigerian society.
“Therefore, you cannot expect the Senate
to act, except in a decorous manner.”
Abaribe also said that the Senate would
still go ahead with deliberations on the
emergency rule in the three north-eastern
states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe
contrary to insinuations that the matter
had ended since the period of emergency
had lapsed.
He said, “We had invited the service
chiefs and we will find out from them, the
update on the insurgency situation in the
north-eastern states of Adamawa, Borno
and Yobe so that we can address the
issue of the state of emergency requested
by President Goodluck Jonathan.”
