Impeachment threat on Buhari, a huge joke – APC
The All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the alleged impeachment threat against President Muhammadu Buhari by the Senate as a huge joke taken too far.
In a statement, Malam Mai Mala Buni, National Secretary of the party said the impeachment plot was laughable urging the affected senators to stop the huge joke and concentrate on their primary constitutional responsibilities.
According to the statement: “The attention of the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to media reports of a laughable impeachment plot by some Senators on President Muhammadu Buhari during Tuesday’sJuly 12, 2016 closed session of the Senate.
“This is a huge joke taken too far”, Buni said.
The ruling party urged the “Senators in question to stop this huge joke and concentrate on their primary constitutional responsibilities of lawmaking and discharging of their legislative mandates to their constituents at the National Assembly”, reiterating that the Senators in question do not allow political shenanigans becloud overall national interest.
According to Buni, the party will not join issues on the Senate forgery suit and other court cases concerning some members of the 8th Senate because it will be sub judice but advised the Senators in question to tow the same line and allow judicial processes run its normal and legitimate course.
“Repeated allegations that the court cases are politically-motivated by the President and the APC are baseless. The President Muhammadu Buhari administration strictly respects the principle of the Rule of Law and also adheres to the constitutional provisions of Separation of Power between the three arms of government. The APC urges Mr. President and the entire cabinet to remain focused in its effort to deliver on election promises and to steer the nation to its deserved heights”, Buni stressed.
