THE National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Thursday, called on the National Assembly to commence impeachment process against President Muhammadu Buhari, for the various constitutional breaches he had committed since his assumption of office, especially the submission of two versions of the 2016 appropriation Bill before the National Assembly.
This was contained in a statement signed and made available to newsmen in Abuja, by the party’s acting national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, after an emergency meeting of the NWC on Thursday night.
The party said the National Assembly should thoroughly investigate the shameful act, including the distortion and banding of figures and ensure appropriate sanctions.
The party also asked the ministers of Finance, Budget and National Planning to resign, having failed to provide the much needed capacity in the management of the nation’s economy, resulting in the embarrassing crashing of the nation’s currency to as low as N305 to a dollar.
Also, the party asked the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to resign, for plunging the country’s currency policy into chaos.
It lamented that the APC government, rather than address grievous national issues, had, instead, resorted to violation of peoples rights in the name of fighting corruption.”
It noted in particular, the continued detention of its spokesperson, Chief Olisa Metuh, for nearly 10 days in clear breach of his fundamental human rights.
