IMPEACHMENT: They are just wasting the country’s time, it won’t go beyond that – Presidency

 BY: News Peddlers

 

The presidency has responded to the Senators from opposition parties who on Wednesday issued  a six-week ultimatum to President Muhammadu Buhari to address insecurity challenges facing the Nation.

Earlier today, the lawmakers staged a walkout from the Senate and threatened to commence impeachment proceedings against President Buhari should he fail to address the insecurity within the period given by the lawmakers.

Speaking in the incident on Channels Television, presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, has seen it as the statesmen were merely playing, adding that they can’t do anything after the drama which was  seen in the Upper Chamber.

“I think it was just bravado, and sadly, security is not something you subject to bravado.

“You don’t begin to issue flippant ultimatums in something that is a matter of life and death,” Adesina asserted.

He further averred that “those who spoke today are the minority of minorities, they will have their say as is needful in a democracy but it will not go beyond that.”

“They know in their heart of hearts that they cannot achieve what they are saying, they are just wasting the country’s time, wasting the time of the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly, they know that they cannot achieve it.

“The truth is that in this kind of scenario, minority will always have its say while the majority will have its way,” Adesina maintained.

While acknowledging that every Nigerian needs to be concerned about the security situation of the country, Adesina still declared that if the Senators are only troubled at this time because some incidents are now closer to them in Abuja, then there is nothing altruistic about their actions.
