The cloudy storm of the Goodluck/Sambo
administration has been linked to the media. This came up when the
Deputy Minority Whip of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Abdul
Rhaman Sumaila, allegedly said that the media was behind the moves to
impeach President Goodluck Jonathan.
“As far as I know, it is you people (the media) that created the impeachment threat that has hang tenaciously on our political firmament of late, but as the principal officer of the House, I wish to state without fear of contradictions that we never planned to impeach the president,” he stated.
The speaker, who represents Sumaila/Takai Federal constituency, had told journalists in Kano recently that the House owed it a duty to compel the executive arm to sign into law the appropriation bill for the wellbeing of the society .
He further stated, “The House considers it a disservice to the country if it kept mute over the non-implementation of 2021 appropriation bill by the Federal Government”
It would be recalled that the moves by the National Assembly to oust President Goodluck Jonathan over budget implementation recently took a surprise turn when the Upper Chamber also vowed to fire His Excellency if he continues to disregard the actions and counsels of the senate.
Senators gave the declaration when Senator Uche Chukwumerije, PDP, Abia North disclosed that some senators were already mobilizing signatures to fire Jonathan for disregarding order of the legislature.
“We believe that this is an opportunity for Mr. President to go and look for the resolutions of the Senate regarding the BPE investigation. If there are people sitting on it, I think he should use his executive powers and push them out and get the report and begin to implement them for the overall interest of this country.”
“The Ahmad Lawan report is the highest moral ground of the Seventh Senate. It was that report that convinced everybody, the public that the hope for this country lies with the Senate; that there is still one body that is concerned with the nation which lies far above sectionalism.” He added
