Current Senators Can’t Impeach President Buhari – Okon

The first National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Anietie Okon, has posited that the current generation of senators lack the courage to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari in the face of heightening insecurity.

He spoke with journalists in Uyo on Wednesday, where he said that aside Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe of Abia State and few others of the minority in the Senate, the other senators do not have the courage to impeach Buhari.

In his words: “The decisions the southern governors took during their meeting in Delta State was in the interest of the country. It was also based on the urgency of the situation in their regions, states and responsibility to their citizens.”

“Since this man (Buhari) came into office it has been one season of recession after another as a result of misgovernance, ineptitude and the lack of basic understanding of the national economics. The economy of the country has come to a halt.

“There has not been any economic growth indicator for Nigeria since this administration came into office. That is why we are experiencing a very high rate of unemployment, and increased government borrowing. The president does not have the capacity and competence to lead Nigeria.

“It is a disgrace and an awful one for that matter that a country so gifted by God in terms of human capacity and natural resources is still floundering when we should be in the same class with countries like Korea, Japan. It is painful.

“And you will see many Nigerians will be suffering from hypertension very soon because the current government has no answer to the security challenges bedevilling the country. These days when people go to sleep they keep an eye open added to the fact that the government of the day has dragged the economy down.”
