Indications emerged yesterday that
members of the House of Representatives are on the same page with their
Senate counterparts in their bid to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan.
It was reliably gathered that the
assembly men would start impeachment process against the President
immediately it reconvenes next Wednesday.
This is just as the lawmakers
coordinating the impeachment process have disclosed that they have
identified over 50 constitutional violations against the President,
which would form part of the impeachment notice.
A ranking officer in the House who
revealed this said both chambers have resolved to work together for the
common good of the country by impeaching President Jonathan for
“incompetence, corruption and unprecedented impunity.”
He revealed that the impeachment plot
against Jonathan was not a partisan affair, explaining that lawmakers
from all the political parties have identified with the “cause” and will
not give up until the President is “sent packing.”
“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”, he stated.
According to the lawmaker, over 50
impeachable offences have been identified against the president and
members of the House would work closely with the Senate to ensure that
the president is impeached.
