Alleged Buhari impeachment: Anenih urges PDP Caucus to back-off

Former Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Tony Anenih, has urged the Chairman of the party’s National Caretaker Committee, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, to dissuade the PDP caucus in the National Assembly from participating in the alleged “ill-advised adventure” of removing President Muhammadu Buhari from office.

Chief Anenih stated that he was persuaded that the time was neither right nor the reasons compelling enough for anybody to contemplate the impeachment of the President.

The former BoT Chairman of the PDP said this in a four-page letter to Makarfi, dated July 15, 2016.

He urged Makarfi to personally lead the process of consultation with PDP members in the National Assembly, with a view to getting them to play a patriotic, rather than partisan role, at this time of national economic and social uncertainty.

He noted that the options of consultation, dialogue and negotiation have not yet been exhausted.
