Senators plotting to impeach Buhari, Tinubu alleges

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Bola Tinubu, has alleged that some members of the National Assembly are plotting to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari.

This is coming as the ex-Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has formally defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling APC.

But the National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, described Akpabio’s defection as unfortunate, saying he was walking against the tide, and deserves pity.

Tinubu who spoke yesterday at the formal defection of Akpabio, at the Ikot Ekpene township stadium in Akwa Ibom State however, cautioned the plotters to drop their sinister move, adding that it is not “possible for a lizard to wrestle an antelope.’’

Tinubu described the current situation in the country as “a war between the progressives and the conservatives.”

“We believe in government of the people, for the people and by the people; but the conservatives believe in government of sharing.We say Nigerian money belongs to Nigerians. We say Nigerians must be given development. We believe in investing in the people.

“But they believe in sharing and looting the money.

“Today, we are aspiring in our vision, but the Peoples Democratic Party has no vision. They believe in sharing and looting the treasury,” Tinubu said.
