Stop Intimidating Jonathan With Impeachment Threat..Okupe Warns NASS

The Presidency on Sunday called on the National Assembly to stop threatening President Goodluck Jonathan with impeachment.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Communication, Dr. Doyin Okupe, stated this at a press briefing in Abuja.
Okupe said there was no way there wouldn’t be friction between the executive and the legislature but cautioned that every disagreement should not lead to impeachment threat.
He said, “We would want to appeal to our respected lawmakers to sheathe their swords. They should stop threatening the President with impeachment every time there is a disagreement.
“They should allow the temperature of the polity to come down. We will continue to have executive/legislative conflict, but we should continue to allow maturity to come in.
“Yes, the legislature has the power to impeach, but we should not be flaunting this every time.
“We should forget about impeachment in order to build this democracy; conflict will always be there, but we must manage it.”
Asked why it was difficult for the President to implement the  resolutions passed by the National Assembly, Okupe said the action of the President was not meant to spite the lawmakers.
