We are moving into a heated phase in the slow but surely movement to
2015. So far, more than 120 of the lawmakers have appended their
signatures for the impeachment of President Goodluck Jonathan as soon as
the House reconvenes in December.
Mohammed Zakari, chairman, House Committee on Media and Public
Affairs, while reacting on it said “the notice of impeachment was not on
the order paper today but I’m not foreclosing that some other things
took place.”
Similar agitation by aggrieved lawmakers
to move for impeachment of Emeka Ihedioha, deputy Speaker during the
brief closed door session, was however averted by the Speaker who called
for calmness.
On his part, Leo Ogor, deputy House Leader who
urged members to jettison such plans, argued that the notice of
impeachment is inconsequential, as the President had no hand in what
transpired at the National Assembly.
“The President is unaware so bringing it (impeachment) up is going to
be defeated. The President has done no wrong, impeachment should not
even be part of the issue,” he pleaded.
Majority of the lawmakers who appended their signatures belong to APC with few PDP members.
