Mohammed Kazuare, a member of the house of representative from Jigawa state on Tuesday warned his colleagues that any attempt to impeach President Buhari will be fiercely resisted on the floor of the house and will surely be defeated.
According to the lawmaker, his colleagues cannot impeach President Muhammadu Buhari as they threatened on Tuesday with their 12 point resolution after a closed-door joint session.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday night, Kazaure warned lawmakers eyeing the president’s seat to wait till 2023.
Kazuare said, “President will remain the president,” he said. “He will be re-elected when he finish eight years he’ll go, then anybody could come. But for now, nobody will…that treatment is the only thing that will offend me in the chamber. Because after all resolution, they say without adopting that resolution by the executive, we will take any legislative power that we have against them.
“Issue of the people are collecting signatories to serve the notice of impeachment to the president. We know, it’s in the house but nobody can come to show us that they will come and impeach the president in the chamber. Because there is no two side, I’m sure there is no two sides in the House of Representatives.”
“Our group we are strong enough to stop anything called impeachment. Today, I agree with the legislature for saying that we have to improve the security of this country and the killing must end. This is very accepted. Issue of people around the president that are not performing better, I accepted for the president to change them or to sack them. Issue of intimidating people, intimidating a whole Senate President to call him he sponsor a robbery. It’s embarrassing to this institution. I will not support it and I’m sure president will never support it.
“Right now, inside the villa, president is with the service chiefs having meetings and he is complaining saying why are you creating problem between me and the legislature. I’m sure the president will take serious action and this will stop.”
“Those people, we don’t want them to go. We want them to come and assist the president again. So, the president must call the attention of those people who are very important in the state. Because we will lose many votes and we don’t have certainty to win the election if it continues like that,” he concluded.
