Trump will, however, remain in office until he is tried and convicted by the senate.
Some Nigerians took to social media page rejoicing about the democrats’ move, urging Nigerian leaders to emulate them.

He wrote: “I have seen some of our African Brothers notorious for defending the excesses and evil of their leaders at home but are now revealing in the impeachment of President Trump.
