The immediate past National Caretaker Committee Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, on Monday reacted to the impeachment notice served on Benue Governor, Samuel Ortom by eight members of the State House of Assembly.

In a statement signed by his spokesman, Muktar Zubairu Sirajo, he expressed his concern at the seeming obsession with some forces, who seem bent on truncating Nigeria’s democracy.

According to Makarfi, this was happening “despite numerous judicial pronouncements, some by even the highest court of the land, more than 2/3 of a 30-member House of Assembly will be denied access to, and in fact chased away from the House by the Police, while giving state cover to seven or so other members to sit and even attempt to impeach a democratically elected governor for the simple reason that some quarters have been slighted by the governor’s decision to move from one party to another.

“Senator Makarfi considers this as an unlawful, disgraceful and undemocratic act, which portends a danger of monumental proportions to the country and its institutions”.

Senator Makarfi further insisted that freedom of association, is the inalienable right of every Nigerian, as enshrined in the country’s constitution and all international conventions.

“More importantly however the fact is that impeachment of a state governor is a legal and constitutional function, the process of which is clearly spelt out in our constitution, with no ambiguity.

“The Senator reminds Nigerians, particularly the APC and its leadership that the PDP, when it held sway, respected the rights of the people to freely decide what political platform(s) to identify with, a stance that the APC more than any other party, reaped bountifully from and the fruits of which included Governor Ortom himself, at that point.

“It therefore smacks of hypocrisy and a brazen disrespect for fundamental human rights for the same party to now deny people the right defect from it for whatever reason(s). It is imperative, as far as Senator Makarfi is concerned, that people’s rights and freedoms of movement and association and all other rights be respected fully by the state and its agencies; and that both the APC and its government brace up for more people exercising these fundamental rights and respect same

“The Senator appeals to the people of Benue State to, even as they resist this callous assault on their freedom, remain peaceful and law abiding and be assured that Nigerians are with them in this trying moment.

“He therefore, calls on all Nigerians to, within lawful means, stand up to this brazen attempt to stifle the democratic space by a party that was the biggest beneficiary of defections, which is now jittery and clearly uncomfortable at the prospect of getting a dose of its own medicine,” the statement added.

Had it been PDP treated APC like this is 2014, APC won't have been in power today. Is it that APC don't know the meaning of democracy? No matter how bad a Democratic government is, its better than military government but APC government is worst than a military government.

When will Nigeria be impeached


We need another country please



Even if it is country like Syria, Iran or North Korea

Jonathan is a democrat compared to the tyrant in power ,Jonathan is light buhari is darkness .#fact

The reason why many of us did not support buhari in 2015 is crystallizing today. A bloody chameleon, coup plotter and dictator

regardless of what you imagined in your head or what Mumundi Kunu planted in your mind or what you read from BiafraudHerald and other shitty
propaganda media outlets


Buhari remains a true democrat , he's the one who gets things done , being clueless and simple like Jonathan was is why Nigerians got brainfucked by these assholes , as long as it is for the right reason, I would ask buhari to start using Nigerian Army because some people are too powerful to be arrested by police and too connected to be tried by any court

Jonathan is a dog and a fool who kissed every body's butts with money that was supposed to be national cake
