The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has released a press statement backing the call for the Impeachment of President Buhari by members of the House of Representatives in its caucus.

House Caucus Call for Buhari’s Impeachment is Constitutional, PDP

The @OfficialPDPNig asserts that the call by its caucus in the House of Representatives asking Nigerians to direct their representatives, across party lines, to commence impeachment process against President @MBuhari is constitutional and democratic.

The party states that the call is a direct reflection of the mood and desires of the Nigerian people, given President @MBuhari, manifest failure in all spheres of governance and particularly in failing to provide an effective leadership that can guarantee thesecurity of our nation and rescue our economy, which has collapsed in his hands.

As a party, the @OfficialPDPNig had always called on our federal legislators in the House of Representatives and the Senate, irrespective of political affiliations, to stand on the side of the people by deploying the legislative instruments provided in the 1999 Constitution (as amended) to rescue the ship of state.

The @MBuhari administration had already accepted failure as reflected in the declaration by one of its officials, that the nation is now at the mercy of bandits and terrorists, a development that signals that is has outlived its usefulness.

President @MBuhari is elected by the people; his stay in office is also dependent on the people as vested on them by the Constitution, through their elected representatives in the @nassnigeria.

The @OfficialPDPNig therefore urges Nigerians to eschew all primordial sentiments and stand for the nation at this critical time.
