The Chief Whip of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the House of Representatives, Alhaji Alhassan Doguwa, has described the rumour making the rounds about plans to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari as street talk.
He made it clear that the House of Representatives had no single evidence of impeachable offence against the President.
Doguwa, who spoke to news men, said that there is no such issue that was contemplated in the House of Representatives.
The Chief Whip who is representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Constituency in Kano State, 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, “it is mere speculation on the street and should be left at that level. (NAN). [myad]
