WARNING!: Buhari May Be Impeached

Following the wave of impeachment calls that is rocking the Nigerian political sphere, President Muhammadu Buhari is not immune to the threat, a lawyer has warned. Dr. Anthony Agbazuere, a constitutional lawyer and human rights activist, has raised fears that there is a possibility of President Buhari being impeached. Agbazuere gave the warning at a press conference in Umuahia, on Wednesday, July 1, where he cautioned the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress to ensure that the current leadership crisis rocking the National Assembly does not consume both the party and the President. Agbazuere said the APC hierarchy should: “swallow their pride and accept Senator Bukola Saraki and Hon. Yakubu Dogora as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively in the interest of the party and to move Nigeria forward. Any attempt by the APC to plot the impeachment of Saraki and Dogara will not only fail but destroy APC.” The activist also admonished the party against further threatening of the deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, insisting that his emergence “is a bitter pill which the APC must swallow to survive.” He said: “APC must not forget that the same structure which brought Saraki also brought Ekweremadu on board, and the Senators in this alliance are greater in number. “An attempt to threaten them may even lead to the impeachment of either President Buhari or both Buhari and his Vice, Professor Yemi Osibanjo. The implications are obvious.” Agbazuere went further to stress that, the APC must stop any form of interference in the affairs of the National Assembly to avoid rocking its boat. Still on the APC and NASS crisis, President Muhammadu Buhari, is to hold a crucial meeting with Dogara, Gbajamila and 29 0ther legislators.
