Reps To Reprimand Lawmaker Who Called For Buhari’s Impeachment

A lawmaker representing Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency in Rivers State in the House of Reps, Kingsley Chinda, who called for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari, will face disciplinary actions by the House of of Representatives.

Chinda is also the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Reps Caucus.

House Majority Leader, Ado Doguwa, during plenary on Monday said that Chinda was not representing the position of the PDP caucus of the House as he claims and is acting on his own.

He also noted that the President’s decision not to honour the House was due to the utterances of the lawmaker calling for his impeachment, and concerns that the President would be embarrassed If he honoured the invitation.

Chinda, in a press release on December 7, called on Nigerians irrespective of political party, tribe, or religion to compel their representatives to commence the impeachment process against the President.

The lawmaker’s call followed the rising cases of insecurity being witnessed across the country.

Eko Hot Blog had reported that lawmakers disowned the impeachment call, tagging it as “illogical”.
