Junaid Mohammed, Second Republic
lawmaker, has warned the National Assembly against impeaching President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Mohammed warned that impeaching
Buhari may lead to the “Army” taking over control of governance in Nigeria.
Speaking over the impeachment
threat by the National Assembly, the former lawmaker stressed that Nigeria may
just be “Subjected to a military coup and there is nothing that can be done
about it in the National Assembly.”
The social analyst also berated
the National Assembly, saying the threat against Buhari was not in the interest
of Nigerians.
He described the current face-off
between the executive and legislature as a “ruse” which has exposed both arms
of government as corrupt and selfish.
According to Mohammed, “From the
word ‘go’, I have never had any respect for the President or the National
Assembly. They are one and the same thing and they have done nothing but a
great disservice to this country. They are both national and international
disgrace.
“If you look at the substance of
the threat between the National Assembly and the President, you will see that
there is nothing of national interest.
“What is happening now is a ruse
and it shows that these people are so adamant in their corruption and there is
a sense of entitlement in their corrupt acts. They feel they are above the law
and with this kind of self-serving confrontation, it is not in the nation’s
interest.
“This impeachment threat as far
as I’m concerned is a fight for relevance. They want to show that they can do
what they like, that they are above the law and you cannot talk about democracy
if an arm of government feels they are above the law.
“The basis of democracy is the
rule of law and without it, we are nothing. What I see now is that the
legislature are untouchable, this is official nonsense.
“I fault the threat because it’s
meaningless and I believe that for such to be made, they must have a priority
which should be in national interest.
“This threat doesn’t do any good
and has nothing to do with the reasons for which they were elected. If they are
not careful and the impeachment is carried out which may lead to violence, they
will have blood on their hands.
“What I’m seeing is that this impeachment can
lead to the Army coming back to take over the country. Make no mistake about
it; this country can just be subjected to a military coup and there is nothing
that can be done about it in the National Assembly. “
