President Muhammadu Buhari has been threatened with
impeachment by Nigerian senators, Sahara Reporters has
informed.
This much happened during the plenary session on
Tuesday, July 12, with the senators making their threats
about the president known over the Senate forgery
It was also gathered that Senator Dino Melaye threatened
to ‘impregnate’ Remi Tinubu, wife of the Bola Tinubu, the
national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Their anger stems from the proposed trial of the Senate
leadership over forgery, a case for which Senate president,
Bukola Saraki; his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, and other
officers were recently charged to court.
Some senators were said to have called on their
colleagues, led by Senators Suleiman Othman Hunkuyi
(APC Kaduna North) and Kabir Marafa (APC Zamfara
Central) to sheathe their sword and withdraw the petition
that had led to the prosecution of Senate leadership.
The Saraki-led session had also reminded the Senate that
a committee led by his predecessor, David Mark was set
up to reunite the members.
But the Benue-born politician denied ever being a member
of any such committee, adding that he had no idea who
the members of the committee were as he was just doing
his work.
Senator Melaye from Kogi state also insisted that
Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation
(AGF) be brought before the senators, thoroughly grilled
and humiliated because of the allegations he has charged
the leadership of the Senate with.
The outspoken lawmaker therefore called on his
colleagues to fight the presidency and also reportedly
issued a lot of threats during the rowdy session and when
Senator Tinubu was asked to speak, she said said the
Senate should not be reduced to a kindergarten where
Senators could just issue childish threats.
Reports say after she had appealed to senators to close
ranks and seek reconciliation, Melaye got really mad and
started calling the former governor’s wife names.
He threatened: “I will beat you up on this floor and nothing
will happen.”
This reaction by Melaye was said to have triggered more
commotion on the floor of the house as some senators
were said to have rallied around her to protect her while
Saraki reportedly continued nodding in acknowledgment
while the Kogi senator continued calling the woman
names.
Sahara Reporters sources informed that Senator Aliyu
Wamakko from Sokoto had hosted series of meetings in
an alleged plot to impeach the president in a couple of
days.
Some senators were also reported to have threatened
those behind the current forgery trial just as
Senator Melaye threatened to kill anybody who testifies
against the leadership in court.
Meanwhile, reports emerged a few hours after the rowdy
session that the AGF was spotted at the complex of the
National Assembly.
The reason for the emergence of the AGF is unknown.
