The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
on Thursday asked the National
Assembly to commence the
impeachment of President
Muhammadu Buhari for what it
called ‘various constitutional
breaches’ on an alleged submission
of two versions of the 2006 budget.

The PDP Acting National Chairman,
Prince Uche Secondus, in a statement
he personally signed, after a meeting
of the party’s National Working
Committee (NWC), also called on
National Assembly to investigate the
alleged ‘distortion and banding of
figures to accommodate personal
interest’.

Secondus, who said that appropriate
sanctions should be meted to
whoever had a hand in the action,
asked the Ministers of Finance,
Budget and National Planning to
resign for allegedly failing to provide
the capacity in the management of
the nation’s economy, resulting in
the crashing of the nation’s currency
to as low as N305 to a dollar.

The party also called for the
resignation of the Governor of
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for
allegedly plunging the country’s
currency policy into ‘chaos’.

It advised the government to stop
pretending that it knew what to do
‘when feelers from the seat of power
shows clearly that Nigerians by
voting for the All Progressives
Congress (APC) have just discovered
they boarded a once chance bus’.

“We sympathize with Nigerians who
are seriously undergoing terrible
hardship because of the now obvious
inept leadership of the APC despite
the promise of one Naira to a dollar.

“What hope can a government that
allows its currency to break a 43
year old record crashing to over
N300 to one dollar offer and yet does
not show it has clear focus of what to
do,” he added.
