Saraki And The APC’s Sword Of Impeachment by Naijiant: 12:31pm On Aug 15, 2018
Ever since Senate President Bukola Saraki defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – from where he had joined the APC in 2014 – new APC Chairman Adams Oshiomhole has fired off threats about impeaching the former Kwara State governor almost everyday.

Oshiomhole, whom Saraki accused of behaving like a “rain-beaten chicken” said that Saraki must resign or be “legally impeached”. There is even a claim from Saraki sources that the siege of the National Assembly by Nigeria’s secret police on 7 August was masterminded by Oshiomhole and was allegedly an attempt to bus in anti-Saraki senators, once the Senate chamber was secured by the security agents, to impeach the senate president.  All this was going on while the National Assembly was on recess.

Oshiomhole and the APC have denied all involvement, but he continues to threaten Saraki with impeachment.  When Saraki with House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara cancelled the reconvening of the National Assembly from recess yesterday, it fuelled rumours on social media that the move was to stop his impending impeachment.

But despite the sound and fury from Oshiomhole and his many supporters, impeaching Saraki “legally” is near impossible.  This is simply because the APC do not have the numbers required.

1. When did you ask them?

2. The point is about the constitutional routes to impeachment.

Saraki was never a member of the progressive party! this same man can join the dying APGA if he knows he could actualise his "dream". But such ambition should not in any way put the over 200millios innocent Nigerians in bondage. He should quickly reconvene the National assembly for speedy deliberation on INEC budget. What is he afraid of? a thief runneth when no one pusheth him. Stolen crown!
