Senators halt impeachment threat against Buhari

The recent threat of impeachment in the National Assembly against President Muhammadu Buhari may have dissipated.

This development followed the emergence of fresh facts on the government’s efforts in tackling security challenges across the country.

Recall that the threat was issued by Senators mainly from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday, July 26 in the aftermath of the posting on social media of a video by terrorists flogging some of the abducted train passengers in their captivity.

The senators who were later joined by some members of the House of Representatives were outraged by the audacity of the gunmen, and what they perceived as the government’s failure to deal with insecurity in the country.

They gave the president a six-week ultimatum to find a solution.

It was gathered yesterday that the National Assembly has since received concrete assurance from the Presidency and the military that the security situation in the country will improve drastically within a month.

Many of the Buhari-must-go campaigners are also said to have recanted and pledged loyalty to the National Assembly leadership.
