The National Assembly on
Wednesday, denied it was plotting to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking on Sunrise Daily on
Channels Television, the Chairman, House Committee on Judiciary, Hon. Razak
Atunwa, said the joint executive session of the two chambers of the Assembly
was held to debate on national issues.
The lawmaker representing
Asa/Ilorin West constituency in Kwara State, said: “No one mentioned anything
about impeaching the president.
“We dealt on governance matters,
matter deepening our democracy. And we came out with resolutions. Those are
more important matters to the country. It was all in the interest of the
country, clearly the interest of the country.”
Atunwa described claims that the
National Assembly was planning to impeach the president as “inaccurate and
disingenuous”.
“Some say we threatened the
president, we never threatened anyone indeed. We only agreed on resolutions and
ascertained the president takes them and acts upon them.
“In the resolutions, nothing like
impeachment was mentioned, because we can make laws and ensure concerned
agencies carry out their responsibilities. None of us mentioned impeachment in
our debate at the joint session,” he said.
