The ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC), is confident that President Mmuhammadu Buhari will survive any impeachment plans against him.
The Progressive Governors’ Forum, the body consisting governors of the APC, declared that Nigerians will not support any impeachment move against President Muhammadu Buhari.
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, while speaking on behalf of the PGF at the governorship election rally of the party, affirmed that “the people’s power was behind Buhari”.
His words, “We know that corruption will fight back and it is fighting back. And that is why we went for a tested Army general to lead the corruption fight. They will fight back but they will be crushed.
“We reaffirm our confidence in the President, we don’t want any impeachment, and we stand for democracy. The coup was resisted in Turkey that is how Nigerians will resist any attempt to impeach the President.
“The anti-corruption war must go on, Nigeria’s economy will be repositioned and the people will be witnesses to prosperity. Peace is already returning to the North East. It will return to the Niger Delta and Nigeria will be prosperous again.”
Recall that in a closed door session of the National Assembly on Tuesday 5, July 2016, a motion of impeachment was moved by a Senator but was met with mixed reactions other lawmakers.
