Some opposition lawmakers in the House of Representatives have said they were uninterested in the impeachment threats against President Muhammadu Buhari.
While some cited the timing as a major factor, others said the presiding officers of both chambers of the National Assembly, the Senate and the House were Buhari’s henchmen who would strongly frustrate the plan to remove him.
It will be recalled that the minority caucus in the Senate led by the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP on July 26, 2022 staged a walkout from the plenary over the escalated security situation in the country.
However, their walkout was both a protest and call on the President to urgently address the spate of insecurity.
They subsequently handed down a 6 month ultimatum to the President to quell the situation or face impeachment.
In quick succession, the minority caucus in the House of Representatives also joined in the call, saying that the process of impeachment would begin in the Green Chamber at the expiration of the ultimatum.
But reacting to the development, some of the opposition lawmakers on Sunday told Vanguard they were not interested.
