Lawmakers Sign President Jonathan's Impeachment Notice
No fewer than 120 lawmakers have begun a battle to
remove President Goodluck Jonathan as they have appended their
signatures for his impeachment, immediately the House reconvenes in
December.
It was gathered by Vanguard that those who signed the impeachment register are members of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
They alleged that the invasion of the National Assembly by security operatives who prevented the lawmakers from entering was backed by the Presidency, adding that Jonathan met secretly with on Wednesday night with Senate President David Mark and Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha on the shape of yesterday’s House sitting.
The
lawmakers therefore opted to collate signatures for an impeachment
notice against the President, on the grounds of executive recklessness,
interference and abuse of police.
Reacting to this, Mohammed Zakari, chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, said: “the notice of impeachment was not on the order paper today but I’m not foreclosing that some other things took place.”
A principal officer of the House said: “With how the police and security agents molested members of the House of Representatives, President Goodluck Jonathan has lost our goodwill. We have resolved to stop this impunity in the land.”
