‘Many APC Senators Conceded To Buhari’s Impeachment’ – Sen Fadahunsi

The lawmaker representing Osun East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Francis Fadahunsi, has said many All Progressives Congress (APC) members conceded to the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Naija News reports that over ten legislators left the red chamber on Wednesday during the proceedings after Senate President Ahmad Lawan dismissed a resolution on security.

Speaking with journalists in his office, shortly after the plenary, Fadahunsi said many lawmakers have seen reasons to impeach Buhari, compared to when he first raised the issue two years ago.

According to the legislator, almost all the APC senators agreed to serve Buhari an impeachment notice at a closed-door meeting held on Wednesday.

He said: “Remember I moved this motion two years ago that this President could offer nothing and that he should step aside. But the APC then, floating in the Atlantic Ocean didn’t understand what I was saying. Now that the dangerous Atlantic Ocean is sweeping them and they have overtaken even Abuja, they are gradually seeing reasons.

“We decided at a close door session that an impeachment notice should be passed on him, but because somebody is still busy trying to protect his job, it was not possible.

“Today, during the executive meeting, all of us agreed, that the man should be served an impeachment notice. Almost all the APC Senators conceded that the man should be served, except a few.

“By the time we come back, that is, if all of us will come back; that is, if some of us are not inflicted by the insecurity; we would all come together, regardless of our political affiliations and ask that he should go.”

Senator Fadahunsi, who is also the Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Customs and Trades and Investment, lashed at Nigeria’s security chiefs for not doing enough.

He said: “The soldiers are busy making money. The Generals are busy acquiring houses. Some of them do not even know what to do with the money, some of them are building universities and hotels.

“Each time we invite them, they always complain of a shortage of funds and we would always approve money for them. So, they have now acquired much money.

“All the people causing these issues, have you heard that anyone was arrested? The few ones arrested were also blown out of Kuje prisons and are now causing more mayhem. These people know exactly what they are doing.”

The lawmaker stressed that the situation of the country would worsen if Buhari is not ejected out of the Aso Rock.

He said: “If the man in power is not ejected out of Aso Villa, the way things are going, this country would slide into militocracy and the democracy we all laboured for would erode us.

“The Commander of his Brigade Command has been killed. About 30 soldiers under him cannot be found. If he goes and someone comes in, the person would understand the language.

“At a point, El-Rufai who was part of those who brought them came out openly and confessed that the only way to eliminate them is to attack their hideouts and kill all of them, including those who are mediating. But who will give the order?
