A former member of the House of
Representatives, West Idahosa, has noted that the National Assembly’s message
to the Executive and specifically, President Muhammadu Buhari, with its
resolutions yesterday is clear.
According to him, the lawmakers
have the power to commence his impeachment process, if the President failed to
comply with their resolutions.
“When the President has been
asked to comply with certain decisions of the National Assembly, otherwise they
will invoke their constitutional power.
“It’s a very clear message and
what is the constitutional power that the National Assembly can invoke at a
time like this? they can of course begin the impeachment process of Mr
President and hope they secure the required 2/3rd in parliament to get him out
of office.
“So that is a clear message and I
think the President should be worried about that message,” Idahosa said during
an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
At an emergency joint session on
Tuesday, the National Assembly reaffirmed its vote of no confidence on the
Inspector-General of Police Ibrahim Idris and warned the President over the
“systematic harassment and humiliation by the Executive of perceived political
opponents”.
