Insecurity: PDP Rep Members Move To Impeach Buhari
In light of the security challenges bedevilling the country, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the house of representatives is seeking the removal of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Eko Hot Blog reports that the impeachment call is coming just days prior to the expected appearance of the president before the green chamber — after they summoned him last week.
There has been an upsurge in killings, abductions and other criminal activities around the country, especially in the north, in recent months.
This has led to renewed calls for the removal of the President, with many saying he does not have the capacity to lead the country since he’s failed in his basic responsibility of securing lives and protecting properties.
In a statement on Sunday, the Caucus, led by Kingsley Chinda, said the capacity of the president must be questioned at such a precarious time like this.
The caucus disclosed that the call to remove the president is spurred by the recent Massacre of over 43 farmers in Zabarmari community in Borno State.
Alluding to an event in ancient Rome, they likened Buhari to Emperor Nero, an emperor of ancient Rome, who was said to have done nothing more than exhibiting indifference and aloofness while the empire teeters on the brink of collapse
Chinda implores Nigerians, irrespective of their tribe, beliefs or political leaning, to enjoin their representatives in the green chamber to initiate Buhari’s impeachment process.
“The PDP caucus in the House of Representatives has observed with deep pain the dastardly attacks on poor farmers, which have continued unabated across the vast swathes of northern Nigeria, which act came to a sad climax over the weekend in Zabarmari, near Maiduguri, North-East Nigeria,” he said.
“While President Buhari idles in the typical fashion of Emperor Nero as our country burns, questions must be asked about his capacity to lead at a time that our country desires robust and responsible leadership that can pull it from the brink and rescue it from the debilitations of insurgents, terrorists, bandits and kidnappers.
