Barely three hours after senators issued impeached threat on President Muhammadu Buhari, the federal government has gone on its knees begging the lawmakers.
The government’s position was conveyed by its spokesman, Lai Mohammed.
He said President Muhammadu Buhari was working round the clock to bring the country’s security situation under control.
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said this while responding to questions by State House Correspondents after the week’s virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, however lauded the senators for their patriotism and concerns, saying steps are being taken to address concerns.
Senators from opposition political parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and some members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), chastised President Buhari on Wednesday for the country’s deteriorating security situation, giving him a six-week deadline to address the issue or face impeachment proceedings.
Mohammed said “resolution passed by Senators, as rightly said, it was passed when we were deliberating, but we thank them for their patriotism and their concern, but we are working round the clock, 24 hours, to ensure that the situation is brought under control”.
The Minister also described the reported threat by terrorists to kidnap the President as laughable and mere propaganda.
