Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders have begun planning moves to avert the impeachment threat against President Muhammadu Buhari by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) federal legislators over the worsening insecurity.
It was also learned that the impeachment plot by the opposition senators and House of Representatives members was part of a bigger agenda to outsmart APC in the 2023 poll.
The PDP lawmakers had issued a six-week ultimatum to the president to resolve the security challenge or face impeachment.
However, some senators from APC and PDP have fixed a meeting for Sunday on what to do if there is no improvement in the nation’s security within six weeks.
APC National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, who dismissed the threat, said it is political.
He said: “This is election season. The PDP senators are whipping up sentiments. They want to de-market our party and the Buhari administration.
“It is not desirable that PDP senators should politicize security. Security is a collective responsibility. The opposition in parliament should contribute useful suggestions, and not start playing to the gallery.”
