[BREAKING] Insecurity: PDP Senators Walk Out Of Plenary, Threaten To Commence Buhari’s Impeachment In Six Weeks

On Wednesday, the senatorial caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) staged a walkout from the chambers in protest of the worsening security situation in Nigeria.

After storming out of the chambers in rage, the minority leader, Senator Philip Aduda, declared during a press conference that they have given President Muhammadu Buhari six weeks to stop the country’s terrorist attacks or face impeachment.

The Senate President refused to allow the impeachment issue to be brought up before the plenary, according to the caucus, despite their agreement during a two-hour closed-door meeting.

He said, it was necessary for the insecurity to be addressed immediately because, “it’s obvious that Abuja, the seat of the Federal government is no longer safe, as you all can see.”

Aduda recalled that various recommendations by the legislature have been made but security challenges have not abated, hence, they were committed to impeaching President Buhari now.

Aduda who represents the Federal Capital Territory in the upper legislative Chamber said: “We went into a closed-door session on the state of insecurity in Abuja and took cognisance that Nigeria is no longer safe

“Senate has recommended various measures and discovered that even Abuja is no longer safe.

“We agreed in the closed session that we will give President Muhammadu Buhari an ultimatum, but the Senate President Dr Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan didn’t want us to raise the issue.

“However, we have issued six weeks for President Buhari to resolve insecurity or be impeached.

“We walked out of Chambers in protest.”
