Nigerian senators have threatened to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari in response to their complaints over the country's security condition.
On Tuesday, July 26, 2022, at the start of plenary, the senators questioned Senate President Ahmad Lawan on why the topic of insecurity was not on the Order Paper.
According to Pulse, the parliamentarians were quite upset by the terrorists' threat to kill President Buhari, Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, and prominent Nigerian politicians.
After being put under a lot of pressure, Lawan gave in and consented that the topic of insecurity will be debated in open session on Wednesday rather than a closed one.
“We shouted out to the President of the Senate that it must be discussed and when he refused, we threatened that we will begin impeachment move against President Buhari because the country is not safe,” a source told newsmen.
Legislators have already threatened to impeach President Buhari.
The National Assembly threatened to impeach the president in June 2018 if he did not comply with a number of demands.
Federal lawmakers quarreled in May 2021 about opposition politicians' threats to impeach President Buhari.
The Senators' latest warning comes in the wake of recent alarming terrorist assaults in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
A terrorist ambush involving members of the 7 Guards Battalion of the Nigerian Army Presidential Guards Brigade occurred on Friday night near the Bwari Area Council in Abuja.
Eight people died and three soldiers were killed in the event.
A few weeks prior to the incident, terrorists broke into the Kuje jail in Abuja and released hundreds of prisoners, including suspected Boko Haram members.
In a video, one of the terrorists threatened to kidnap President Buhari and a few other senators and governors in the nation.
