The National Assembly should impeach Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and President Muhammadu Buhari, according to Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the leading Igbo sociopolitical organization.
Ohanaeze claims that Buhari and Osinbajo have failed in their main duty of safeguarding Nigerians.
The organization claimed that Buhari and Osinbajo’s incapacity to defend Nigerians demonstrates a lack of leadership in governance.
Recall that the Senate had threatened to send Buhari an impeachment notice due to his inability to address the nation’s security issues.
The minority caucus in the Senate issued Buhari a six-week deadline to address the nation’s security issues.
Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, stands to gain if Osinbajo is excused from the impeachment procedure, according to Ohanaeze, who responded.
Ohanaeze issued a warning to the National Assembly, saying that if the impeachment threats against President Buhari were to be taken seriously, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo would also need to be put on trial because both of them had failed Nigerians.
“The exemption of the Vice President, from the impeachment threats, shows that APC Presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands to be a major beneficiary.”
If Osinbajo is elected president, Ohanaeze warned that he would make mistakes that would favor Tinubu in the 2023 election.
“Ndigbo reminds the National Assembly that attempts to initiate the impeachment process against President Buhari without Vice President Osinbajo are an incomplete process and will create windows and loopholes for the Vice President to play an ethnic card for the West.
“Irrespective of running against Tinubu in the APC primaries, he will use the power of incumbency in favour of Bola Tinubu’s victory which is a contradiction with the body language of the Mr. President, who is likely reluctant to influence the 2023 elections for anyone but whoever Nigerians want at the polls.
“If Buhari should be impeached, then Osinbajo must go with him, both of them should be blamed for the rising insecurity challenges in the country.
“Ndigbo is in support of any Impeachment threats by the National Assembly, but it must serve as a wake-up call for the President and Vice President to be active with their duties, but if they continue to be onlookers and things goes awry, the National Assembly should not exonerate the Vice President for the notice of impeachment, Tinubu stands to benefit if only Buhari is impeached.”
