Former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakar, has reacted to the impeachment notice served on the Benue State
Governor, Samuel Ortom.
But in a swift reaction, the
governor, who recently decamped from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said the eight lawmakers lacked the
constitutional powers to remove him from office.
Reacting to the development,
Atiku condemned the impeachment move, noting that the introduction of such
‘lawlessness’ could complicate Benue’s insecurity.
Atiku on Twitter wrote, ”For a
state facing security challenges like Benue, the introduction of lawlessness
through an impeachment process could only complicate an already bad situation.
”I urge the police to remain
politically neutral and avoid aiding lawlessness. The loyalty of the police
should be to the constitution and the rule of law.”
