The People’s Democratic Party caucus of the House of Representatives has backed their colleagues in the Senate over the call for the impeachment of the President Muhammadu Buhari over his failure to tackle the heightening insecurity in the country.
In a joint meeting on Thursday, the PDP lawmakers said the state of the country was appalling and therefore issued a six to eight weeks ultimatum to the President to solve the numerous challenges of the country or risk being removed.
The meeting was chaired by Senate Minority Leader, Philip Aduda (PDP, FCT), with more than 20 lawmakers in attendance.
Mr Ndudi Elumelu briefed journalists on the resolution reached after the meeting, saying members of the House will also present a formal impeachment notice against the president if the general insecurity in the country is not addressed.
