We Will Initiate Impeachment Process Against Buhari If… – Lawmaker

• There has been several calls for a restructuring of Nigeria’s security architecture amidst widespread mayhem unleashed by criminal elements in several parts of the country.

A federal lawmaker has said that the National Assembly will move to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari if he fails to act on its security resolutions.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday inaugurated a 40-man Committee which is saddled with the responsibility of finding a solution to the country’s security challenges. It is set to hold a four-day security summit in May.

The lawmaker representing Jos South/Jos East Federal Constituency, Dachung Bagos said impeachment processes will be initiated if the summit’s resolutions are not acted upon by the Executive.

“If the Executive had implemented 30 percent of the resolution and advice the National Assembly has been giving, I can assure you we couldn’t have reached this level,” he said.

Bagos, who is also a National Security and Intelligence committee of the House of Representatives, claimed that the insecurity issue has been politicised by the Executive, describing the forthcoming summit as a “last resort”.

“After this summit, if nothing is done – brainstorming, spending resources to bring out solutions – if the Executive does not do anything after some months, then definitely we will call for the resignation of the President.

“We have the power to impeach the President if he can no longer secure the lives and properties of Nigerians,” the PDP lawmaker told Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.

Impeaching the president is almost impossible as the All Progressives Congress (APC) constitute the majority in both the lower and upper chambers.
