More than 120 lawmakers have appended their
signatures for the impeachment of President Goodluck, immediately House
reconvenes in December.
Mohammed Zakari, chairman, House Committee on
Media and Public Affairs, while reacting on it said “the notice of impeachment
was not on the order paper today but I’m not foreclosing that some other things
took place.”
On his part, Leo Ogor, deputy House Leader who
urged members to jettison such plans, argued that the notice of impeachment is
inconsequential, as the President had no hand in what transpired at the
National Assembly.
“The President is unaware so bringing it
(impeachment) up is going to be defeated. The President has done no wrong,
impeachment should not even be part of the issue,” he pleaded.
Similar agitation by aggrieved lawmakers to
move for impeachment of Emeka Ihedioha,
deputy Speaker during the brief closed door session, was however averted by the
Speaker who called for calmness.
According to Vanguard, the lawmakers
that appended their signatures are of the APC extraction.
