Trouble is looming for the Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan as 120 House of Representatives members may have signed to commence impeachment proceedings against President Goodluck Jonathan. The lawmakers are members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mohammed Zakari, chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, while reacting on it said “the notice of impeachment was not on the order paper today but I’m not foreclosing that some other things took place.”
On his part, Leo Ogor, deputy House Leader who urged members to jettison such plans, argued that the notice of impeachment is inconsequential, as the President had no hand in what transpired at the National Assembly.
“The President is unaware so bringing it (impeachment) up is going to be defeated. The President has done no wrong, impeachment should not even be part of the issue,” he pleaded.
Similar agitation by aggrieved lawmakers to move for impeachment of Emeka Ihedioha, deputy Speaker during the brief closed door session, was however averted by the Speaker who called for calmness. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

I think the president should beimpeached. This is not acceptable. To prove to us that the hands of the president is not in this, let him fire or call the IGP for questioning.

They said ur son is a thief u ask them to leave ur son instead of u to purnish him. Don't u know if thay thing goes out of hands is thay ur son that will kill u
DeleteAnonymous 7:44am, you are not a yoruba man. Why trying to deceive yourself by mentioning tribe.
DeleteOil will dry up, even if not, the price is going down and we cannot drink it. We need each other - simple!!
Deletea lazy craftman blames his instrument for poor jobs.personal interest and political mediocrity has overwhelm the house of reps.fix your problems and stop blaming mr president.
ReplyDeletePlease be intelligent in your write ups and but sentiments aside. Jonathan never had a hand in what is going on the house. If we want to play by the rule, Tambuwa entered that position by the virtue of belonging to PDP. All around the world, in a sound democratic situation he should ordinarily relinquish his position after he defected to APC. But he simply wants to cause havoc in the country by insisting to remain as the speaker.
ReplyDeletePeople should leave Jonathan alone to concentrate in completing what he set out to accomplish. If he has got all the support he needed and without these insecurity in the country, I think we should gone beyond where we are now.
You lie. Tambuwal was never a PDP candidate for the speaker seat. PDP zoned that seat to the south west. He emerged as the popular candidate voted by all members not only PDP. Monkey's hand is in the soup alright. Ijaw president Jonathan should should resign to save his face. No policeman, not even the IG, has the guts to invade national assembly and teargas people. This is the height of impunity. This cannot happen in the USA or UK that you mentioned.
DeleteFool
DeleteThen go ahead and impeach him. What are you still waiting for?
ReplyDeleteYou are simply biased. Tambuwal was elected by members of the national assembly because the constitution says that a speaker shall be elected by the members from amongst themselves and not from any particular party. Constitutionally, Tambuwal still remains the speaker of the house of representative. Please debiase yourself so as to be able to make an objective critism.
DeleteThey Should live Mr president alone and settle their home
ReplyDeleteWhat connection does the executive arm of government have by meddling with the internal and constitutional affairs of the legislature.
ReplyDeleteTalkin trash
ReplyDeleteU guys don't know anything, d lawmakers themselves know y the IG could be so bold to take such action. Just leave them & let them do wot they c fit.
ReplyDeleteAPC and their media campaign will fail.
ReplyDeleteFuck off, fuck politics_Politics is a free ticket to HELL..and..Nigeria politics is a walking ghost..
ReplyDeleteShame on our lawmakers,hundreds of innocents nigerians were been killed,displaced,kidnap,raped, harassed and intimidate on daily basis due to insecurity as a result of bad goverment and all the while our unserious and “money hungry“ lawmakers did not realise that until when they were denied entry to house and were teargased that they want to impeach the “FOOLISH“, incompetent and “MUMU“ president? It‘s now clearly that our lawmaker are there to represents themselves,families,pockets and also to protect their personal intrest but not that of mases. With this kind of atitute there is no way they can succeed in their move to impeach the “So“ called “Mr“ president because there is no “much“ difference between the “MUMU“ president and the “money hungry“ (lawmakers).
ReplyDeletelet dem impeach him. since 9 is greater dan 19 n also 5 os greater than 27 . n he supports dem. now is his turn
ReplyDeleteU guys must be dreaming to think that this present lawmakers can impeach the president. I cannot happen or else goodbye to Nigerian nation
ReplyDeleteWho is afraid of Nigeria splitting? Can you manage your oil yourself among the very many warlords you already have? Abeg go sit down. If he's found wanting, he should be shown the door.
DeleteIt is only in Nigeria that a minority in the national assembly will be from the opposition. Tambuwa has been romancing with APC right from when he was elected speaker with the support of the opposition against the prefer ed candidate of the ruling party Akande. Let him do the honorable thing and resign because he now belong to the minority in the house of assembly. God bless Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteMilitary take over pls
ReplyDeleteDoes the constitution say minority cannot be Speaker?
