63 senators sign to impeach Jonathan

SIXTY-three senators as of Thursday have signed up to the plan to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan in the upper legislative chamber…

One of the arrowheads of the move to remove Jonathan in the Senate showed Punch’s correspondent the list containing the signatures of the senators.

The source said eight Peoples Democratic Party senators were among the signatories to the planned impeachment notice.

There are 109 members in the Senate.

An All Progressives Congress senator from the North-West zone, who asked not to be named,told Punch’s correspondent that the lawmakers’ major grouse was the President’s handling of the economy and political affairs of the country.

The senator cited poor implementation of the national budget since 2011, alleged high level of corruption and “gross disregard” of the legislature at both the federal and state levels as topping the list of lawmakers’ anger against Jonathan.

Asked whether he realised that the process of impeachment could be tedious and cumbersome, the senator said, “ We know and we are prepared to show the President that we have responsibility to the people and the nation in general.

“We are prepared to lay the impeachment notice anytime from next week. Meetings are already being held.”
