The
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators have debunked the claim made in Uyo
yesterday by the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu that the National Assembly was planning to impeach
President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement on Thursday, the
Senator representing Bauchi Central and chairman, Senate Committee on Navy,
Isah Hamma Misau, urged Nigerians to disregard such empty talk by the APC
chieftain.
He described it as "a mere
partisan rethoric aimed at catching the attention of the crowd" at the
rally planned for the declaration of Senator Godswill Akpabio into the party.
"I am surprised that a
politician of Tinubu's caliber will be playing politics with a serious issue
like the impeachment of the President of the country just because he wanted to
catch the attention of a crowd. Politicians at his level should not be engaging
in unnecessary saber-rattling and empty speculation.
"We, members of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in the Senate, have no plan to impeach President
Muhammadu Buhari. There is no need for that process and we are not
contemplating it.
“Our focus right now is to defend
democracy and its institutions, fight for enthronement of rule of law,
independence of the legislature and the judiciary and ensuring good governance.
"If Tinubu has any concrete,
reliable and verifiable evidence to the contrary, he should come forward and
prove it. A man like him should not be getting carried away by the crowd and
making claims that have no basis.
"We therefore urge
all Nigerians and members of the international community to ignore that claim.
There is no basis for anybody to make such claim. It is a mere fabrication and
a stunt pulled to please the partisan crowd to which it was uttered",
Misau stated.
