Senators in the Red Chamber of the Nigeria National Assembly have given President Muhammadu Buhari, six weeks to quickly resolve insecurity in the country or face impeachment.

 

Newsonline reports that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,  Senators caucus on Wednesday staged a walkout from the Red Chamber in protest against the heightening insecurity in Nigeria.

 

The PDP Senate caucus said the legislative house has given President Buhari all legislative assistance to stem the rising insecurity, but the president has refused to implement any.

 

The Senate lamented that Abuja, the Federal Capital  Territory, FCT, is not safe again like other states in the country.

 

The minority leader Senator Philip Aduda who was flanked by others at a press briefing, after they walked out of the Chambers in anger, made the disclosure that they have issued President Muhammadu Buhari six weeks to resolve terrorist attacks in the country or face impeachment.

 

Senator Philip Aduda also disclosed that Senate President Ahmed Lawan was against the impeachment ultimatum given to the president.

“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.”
