Senators to move impeachment notice against Jonathan Dec 16

Indications emerged, yesterday, that the impeachment notice against President Goodluck Jonathan will be presented on the floor of the Senate when it resumes from the recess on December 16.

Their House of Representatives counterparts have also promised to make available very soon, the authentic list of those who endorsed the impeachment notice against the President

Senator Alkali Jajere representing Yobe South on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, disclosed yesterday that the number of Senators who had signed the impeachment letter was 63 last week and that the number would increase to 70 before end of sitting yesterday, adding that the pro-impeachment Senators which he claimed cut across all the party lines had what it would take to ensure that the impeachment was realised.

Already, the anti-Jonathan Senators have accused the leadership of the Senate of conspiracy as they claimed that the adjournment of plenary to December 16 was deliberate and a ploy by the leadership to frustrate the impeachment move.

One of the Senators against the alleged impeachment plot, Senator Ayogu Eze, PDP, Enugu North said: “To me, Jajere is a story teller. We are waiting for him and his other signatories who are more of spirits than human beings in the Senate.

“Let me put it to him and his other people that if they think they can intimidate the President or PDP out of power, they are just day-dreaming because the man will contest the 2015 election and going by realities on ground, he will win. So the earlier they realise this, the better for them.”
