NO ONE IS PLANNING TO IMPEACH BUHARI-----NIGERIAN SENATE

There is absolutely no plan to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari----Nigerian Senate

After the long swaying of Mr. President Muhammadu Buhari's impeachment in the air, the Senate, yesterday, denied completely the speculations of a plot to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that it was only a rumour. Members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday as well refused to speak on the alleged impeachment threats with its National chairman Senator Ahmed Makarfi, saying it was a situation embedded within the legislature. The United Peoples Party, UPP, led by Chief Chekwas Okorie described any impeachment plot as satanic and subversive. The Senate in a statement by its spokesperson, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi read:



 ”We expected the party to, at least, explore all the options open to it to verify that piece of fabrication which is only the figment of the imagination of the writers and their sponsors.


“It should be clear to the APC leadership that if there is any truth to that story, it should have been credited to a particular senator who was at the executive session.


“It is evident from our proceedings of yesterday (Wednesday) that the Senate itself was shocked that such a fabrication, which constitutes a breach of the privileges of the senators, was published and that was why we mandated our Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions to investigate the source and circumstances leading to the emergence of such a fabrication.


 “We will like to assure the party that the Senate, as an institution, values the present democracy in our country and will not do anything that will undermine or weaken the system.”
