The pro-impeachment Senators and Representatives have prepared 14 impeachable allegations against President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Nation reported that the lawmakers are expected to harmonise their allegations with members of the House of Representatives before sending an impeachment request to Senate President David Mark, in line with Section 143 (1) and (2) of the 1999 Constitution.
It was gathered that the pro-impeachment Senators and Representatives are to meet before the end of the week to compromise on a date.
However, topping the list of the allegations is the President’s refusal to sign 120 bills into law and why he could not curb the Boko Haram insurgency ravaging the north-eastern part of the country, as well as the inability to secure the release of the over 219 abducted Chibok girls.
Other allegations include the inappropriate politicising of the security situation; failure to act as de facto President; $10.8billion missing from the Federation Account; squandering of N10billion private jets; and sloppiness/ failure in governance.
Others comprised alleged violation of the constitution/ Oath of Office; failure to implement recommendations of panels/ committees; setting up of ill-conceived, “nebulous” groups like TAN for re-election campaign outside the Electoral Act; failure to establish and inaugurate the Nigeria Police Council; illegal deployment of Armed Forces and sowing seed of hatred and turning one part of the country against the other.
