THE House of Representatives, weekend, in Bauchi
State, said it had no single evidence of impeachable
offences against President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking through the House Chief Whip, Alhaji
Alhassan Doguwa, who represents All Progressives
Congress, APC, Doguwa/Tudun Wada Constituency
in Kano State, insisted that no such issue was
contemplated in the House of Representatives.
Fielding questions from newsmen, Doguwa said:
"As far as I am concerned, I am a member of
House of Representatives and a principal officer of
the House; the National Assembly is a twin
institution; we have the House and we have the
Senate. If there is any insinuation or speculation
about the impeachment of Mr President in any
chamber rather than the House of Representatives,
that, I don’t know,
“But I want to be very straight forward to you that
we don’t have such a consideration before us. That
matter is not even being contemplated; it was not
even at any point in time thought of. After all, we do
not have any evidence of impeachable offence with
which to use against Mr President.
He described as unfounded, speculations on
purported impeachment plans, adding that “it is
mere speculation on the street and should be left at
that level.”
