Senators Set To table Impeachment Motion on Dec.16.

 

                    This is getting really serious! Uncle Jona might have reasons to be scared afterall. This is because the senators pushing for the removal of President Goodluck Jonathan have set December 16 as the date to set their plan rolling.

As reported by Punchng, 
''The arrowhead of the Jonathan-Must-Go in the Senate, Senator Alkali Jajere, said on Tuesday in Abuja that the aggrieved senators would table a motion for the impeachment of the President before the Senate on the said date.

The Senate, currently on break to allow members to participate in their respective political parties’ congresses, will resume on December 16.


Some of the anti-Jonathan senators said the leadership of the upper chamber had allowed the long break in order to frustrate the impeachment move but that they were adamant “in order to save the country’s democracy.”

Jajere, who spoke with journalists outside the Senate chambers on Tuesday, said two more senators had indicated interest to sign the impeachment motion immediately after plenary thereby increasing the number of signatories to 65.

He said, “As of today, the required signatures to initiate the impeachment process had been obtained. The Senate has adjourned to December 16, so by that date the impeachment motion will be presented on the floor of the Senate.''
