“Incompetence, corruption and unprecedented
impunity”: This are a few of the 50 offences
reportedly listed by the National assembly as
reasons to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan
from office.
The lower chamber – House of Representatives
and upper chamber – Senate, are believed to be
in accord in their bid to impeach President
Goodluck Jonathan.
The impeachment process against the President
is expected to commence immediately after the
reconvening of the National Assembly on
Wednesday, 3 November.
Over 50 constitutional violations have been listed
against the President, which would form part of
the impeachment notice.
A lawmaker revealed to Vanguard that the
impeachment plot against Jonathan was far from
a partisan affair, owing to the fact
that lawmakers from all the political parties have
identified with the objective of booting Jonathan
from officer.
He stated:”I’m sure you read the reports today
that senators are going to move against
Jonathan. Now you can confirm that the
impeachment thing is not about APC. It is a non-
partisan cause. We have all resolved that the
man (President Jonathan) must go.”
“Never in the history of Nigeria has a leader
displayed such crass incompetence as we have
seen in President Jonathan. It is glaring and you
can feel it. Mr. President, with due respect, has
shown that he is not capable of running this
country. That is the basic truth.”
Consequently, members of the House or
Representatives are expected to work hand-in-
hand with the Senate to make certain that the
president is impeached.
