Leave Me Alone, Concentrate On Issues, Jonathan Tells Senators Plotting To Impeach Him President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerian senators to leave him alone and concentrate on other issues of national Importance. Mr. Jonathan declared that the senators should know that there are other issues that ought to catch the lawmakers’ attention instead of threatening to sack him. President Jonathan took this position in a statement issued by Doyin Okupe, a medical doctor who serves as senior special assistant to the president on public affairs. The statement was however silent on whether Mr. Jonathan considers that he has, or has not, committed any impeachable offence. The text of the full statement is below: RE-PURPOTED GATHERING OF IMPEACHEABLE OFFENCES BY SOME SENATORS The Senate in the last four years has conducted its legislative functions and responded to issues that are of great national importance with commendable political sagacity. In this same period, the senate has functioned as a stabilizing force within the polity employing much political maturity that is required to guide and protect our nascent democracy. However, confrontation and strong disagreements are not uncommon phenomenon in Executive-Legislative relationship world-wide. The recent purported attempt by some Senators to prepare impeachable offences against the President, as reported in some section of the Media, is seen by us in this light. We strongly trust and believe in the leadership of the present Senate and the unwavering patriotism and commitment that have been shown by the distinguished members and we trust that ultimately it is this tendency towards true Nationalism that will prevail in the Senate. It is our view that there are at present, serious fundamental issues of National importance such as winning the war against terrorism and stabilizing the economy in the face of dwindling oil revenue which requires the full attention, commitment and swift action of distinguished members of the Senate. We are of the opinion that all matters political can and will be resolved politically in the overall interest of our democracy and the wellbeing of our people.

Good one from Mr President! Most Nigerians do forget that they also have their state Governors, Senators, Reps, LG Chairmen and other elected public office holders to question for poor performance in office. We only place emphasis on the President to perform every duties, even the job of state Governors, while leaving out other office holders to perpetrate corruption and fraud at the highest level. Nigeria will be a better place if we all learn to hold all public office holders accountable for their Actions and not just the President! 150 Likes 18 Shares |

Our Senators and Reps unfortunately have lost their bearing. Misplaced priority at this crucial time when Nigeria sovereignty is under threat by terrorist and terrorism. What is the benefits of the impeachment to Nigerians that elected you If not for your personal gains, flex of muscle and political ambitions. Our brothers and sisters are been murdered in cold blood in the north, yet you are all singing impeachment. Posterity is WAITING FOR ALL OF YOU. 28 Likes 2 Shares |

ceo4eva: Perfect! That is the problem with we Nigerians, is it the president alone we elected - What of our state governors - Our State House of Assembly men & women - Our Federal Legislooters. - Our Local Government chairmen, the closest to the people. When shall we demand accountability from our state government on how they spend SECURITY VOTES and demand transparency When shall we ask our representatives how they go about the constituency allowance running into millions? ?? When shall we ask our LGA Administrators how the Federal Allocation is been utilise We all focus on the Presidency. Why Nigerians, this is time to think right. The President is not our problem but our wicked and selfish politicians. Nigeria political landscape is infested with gentle and mean pen robbers. 68 Likes 11 Shares |

Leave him alone? The gross incompetence, corruption (common stealing is not corruption), impunity (tear gassing of the honorable members), violation of the electoral act ( via use of a proxy called TAN )............... and many more violation of the constitution by the GEJ administration can make a president to step down not even to wait for his impeachment in a sane climes. 36 Likes |

GEJ don't mind them jare. This isn't getting funny again sef & its not just about the senators and lawmakers. Average Nigerians have followed the "trend" of blind criticism(which is one of the few things we're good at) Everything that goes bad, someone would just start screaming "Jonathan" When your toilet no flush, Jonathan When atm no gree pay you, Jonathan When NEPA take light, Jonathan When your babe "curve" you, Jonathan Ah ah! Free Jonathan abeg! He's not Jesus. (Even Jesus sef go tire for Nigeria/ns) If you want to effect change in Nigeria, start from yourself! 20 Likes |
