We Are Not Planning To Impeach Jonathan..House Of Reps

 

The House of Representatives will not impeach President Goodluck Jonathan, Deputy Minority Leader Sumaila Kawu has said.

He warned those who might want to exploit the factionalisation of the PDP to foment trouble in the House to stay away.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain from Kano said: “Impeachment of the President is not on our agenda as a parliament and as such it is a figment of anybody’s imagination to suggest anything like that.

“On our return from the annual recess, we shall continue with legislation that will put food on the table of Nigerians and not waste our time on none-issues because the 7th House is a serious chamber that cannot be distracted.

“The earlier they realised that the House is unshakeable the better for them. They should rather gear their energy towards solving the multifarious crisis bedevilled their party than trying to fight a lost battle.

“Nigerians are suffering and any responsible government should at this time gear all its energies towards putting smiles on the faces of its citizens but not fighting its party members because of ambitions to perpetuate itself in power.

“House is a symbol of Nigeria because of its broader representation of each and every crannies of Nigeria and that is why we are working together to salvage the country.

“It is obvious that some people are very jittery over the mass movement of PDP members to the New PDP and even other political parties and in their desperate attempts to cause trouble and confusion they may want to capitalise on the crisis to foment trouble in the House.

“If the executive or indeed the presidency is feeling guilty for failing to deliver on its mandates to Nigerians, they still have time to do so by working harder and in accordance with constitutional provisions

Those spreading false are doing so for personal benefits and maximising their political gains with their masters.

“I wish to state here that the House of Representatives is one and indivisible body of 360 members who are committed to the development, political stability and progress of Nigeria.

“We will never shy away from those things that will bring happiness to all Nigerians. We are however, using this opportunity to call on those people who may want to use the crisis in the PDP to foment trouble in the House to stay away from the House.We won’t allow anybody to divide us, we cannot be divided.”
