It seems the Nigeria senate is fed up with the way the Muhammadu Buhari-led executives flout its directives, ignore its summons and generally regard it with contempt.
Imo East's Senator Samuel Anyanwu (who is also the chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges) on Tuesday threatened that the Senate will impeach the President Muhammadu Buhari-led executive for disobeying the lawmakers.
This was after Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo sent a letter to the senate requesting for the confirmation of Lanre Gbajabiamila as Director General of National Lottery Regulatory Commission. The letter ignited wild debates, as senators dissed Osinbajo who in the past said the Senate had no power to confirm nominees.
According to Senator Anyanwu, it was time to impeach the leadership of the country as the Red Chamber's powers are being taken away gradually.
“Mr. President, developments have shown that the functions of the legislature was being taken away and if care is not taken, we will impeach the leader,”, he insisted.
He also called for disobedience to EFCC invitation, stating that government was also using the agency to embarrass them.
