Stop playing games, impeach Buhari now, Fani-Kayode tells Saraki, Dogara

One of President Muhammadu Buhari’s fiercest critics, former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to the threats by the National Assembly to impeach the president.

He called on the National Assembly led by Senate President Bukola Saraki, and the House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara, as well as other members of the legislative arm of government to stop playing games and immediately go ahead and impeach Buhari.

The lawmakers had during a joint session on Tuesday listed some demands President Buhari must meet and vowed to use its full powers against the President should he fail to meet those demands.

Prominent among those demands was the lawmakers’ insistence on the immediate sack of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris.

But responding to the development on his Twitter handle, Fani-Kayode asked the lawmakers to stop playing games but get serious and urgently impeach Buhari, who according to him, has committed numerous impeachable offences.

He faulted the impeachment warning, which he said was unnecessary as what would have been more appropriate would have been for the lawmakers to take the President by surprise and impeach him.

“The ultimatum given to @MBuhari by the NASS is too little, too late. You do not warn a snake before you crush its head. You simply take your aim and strike it with one powerful and lethal blow. @MBuhari has committed many impeachable offences. Stop playing games! Impeach him NOW!” he said.

The action of the lawmakers came on the heels of a police matter with Senate President Bukola Saraki, who police said has questions to answer concerning a robbery incident in Offa, Kwara State.
