PDP’s Call for Buhari’s Impeachment, a Comedy – APC

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has reacted to the call by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a statement Thursday, PDP asked the National Assembly to impeach the president, and called for the resignation of the finance minister, Kemi Adeosun, and budget and national planning minister, Udo Udoma after the senate accused the presidency of altering the 2016 budget.

The party also demanded the resignation of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.

Senate president, Bukola Saraki, said a copy of the budget received from the president was different from what his aide, Ita Enang, distributed to its members.

APC dismissed the call as “comical”.

“It is confusing and worrisome that the PDP calls for an investigation into the budget issue and at the same time calls for the removal and resignation of the aforementioned,” the party said in a statement by its national secretary, Mala Buni.

“In both content and context, PDP’s statement constitute a distraction to the National Assembly.”

The party said it was confident that the 8th National Assembly would not be distracted by the PDP in “its new desperate plot to divert attention from the ongoing investigation into mind-boggling cases of corruption perpetuated under its defunct 16-year rule”.
