Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has said President Muhammadu Buhari ought to have been impeached seven years ago, saying that the National Assembly should impeach its leaders before Buhari.
Kachikwu stated this in Abuja when he paid a condolence visit to Senator Patricia Akwashiki on the death of her mother who aged 95, in his company were the party Chairman, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu and Board of Trustees members.
According to Kachikwu, Buhari’s unnoticeable offences started since 2015.
“The President ought to have been impeached seven years ago in his first year of office, his failures didn’t start today, it started then. All the impeachable offences National Assembly wants to list now, seven years ago we should have listed these impeachable offences, there’s nothing different.
“If they are doing it now, it means they have made Nigerians suffer for nothing, thousands dead, tens of thousands displaced, the economy has collapsed, our streets flow with the blood of the innocent, our borders are porous for terrorists.
“Our farms are no longer existent, we now sell human organs as one of our main businesses in Nigeria, kidnapping is on the rise. There’s no area you can say this President has done well. Whatever impeachable offence we are talking about now has existed for the last couple of years, why today, it’s self-serving.”
He voiced for the necessary cleansing of the Legislature, alleging that the lawmakers were complicit to Buhari’s stay in office.
“Before they impeach the President, they ought to impeach the leadership of the National Assembly, who are complicit in the failures of the President. Government is shared responsibilities.
“They ought to impeach them so that we know those people who supported him to stay this long, and they ought to leave. So that we have a new era of leadership who can usher us into the next level,” he said.
