ABUJA – Opposition Senators of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday protested the never-ending killings in Nigeria and vowed to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari, if he fails to resolve insecurity challenges within the next six weeks.

This was made known by the senators while addressing a press conference on the state of insecurity in the country by the Senate minority leader, Senator Philip Aduda in the national assembly.

According to him, the issue of insecurity was first raised during a closed-door session and it was agreed that the red chamber would discuss and issue an impeachment notice because of the endless killing that have even made Abuja the nation’s capital unsafe.

The ruling out of the point of order raised by the Senate minority leader, Senator Philip Aduda by the Senate President, Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan angered members of the opposition party who staged a walk-out of plenary chanting the song “all we are saying is Buhari must go.”

The lawmakers expressed fear that killings in Abuja have become unbearable, recalling that all recommendations by the upper and lower legislative Chambers on how to address insecurity have proven ineffectual.

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.”
