A serving senator of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has supported the move by his opposition lawmakers to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari, the leader of his party, over the security challenges bedevilling the nation.
Senator Elisha Abbo, who represents Adamawa North senatorial district in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, revealed his stance on Friday in an interview with Channels Television.
He spoke on the sideline of the APC Northern Christian Leaders summit held in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) where a former speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has faulted the APC Muslim-Muslim ticket.
The lawmaker, who said he was in full support of the impeachment move against the President, stated that the Nigerian leader has failed in his fundamental responsibility to secure the lives and property of the people.
On Wednesday, senators from opposition parties staged a walkout following a call to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Philip Aduda, had raised a point of order asking the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, to discuss the country’s security situation and President Buhari’s impeachment.
But Senator Lawan, who presided over the plenary, declined the request of the minority leader, saying the point of order raised fell flat on its face.
