PDP crisis: Jonathan's impeachment will be considered on merit - Zakari Mohammed

Date: 2013-09-14

House of Representatives spokesman, Hon Zakari Mohammed, said yesterday that the House would not rush into taking a decision on any motion on the impeachment of President Goodluck Jonathan over the ongoing PDP crisis.

He disclosed this during a media chat at the National Assembly where he added that any motion to that effect would be considered on its merits.

He further stated: “Every issue will be looked at according to its merit. The floor will determine what happens. To now say we will impeach Mr. X means we have made up our minds on what we would do.

“There must be issues that will generate impeachment, and it is the floor that will decide whether these issues are impeachable or not.”

He explained that the argument that the matter was an internal one that should be kept within the PDP and not taken to the National Assembly was faulty because the party is in the majority and what affects the PDP affects the entire House.

“Whatever affects the PDP in the House will definitely affect the colouration of the House. With 208 members in the House, whatever affects members of the PDP will be felt by all of us”, he said.

Mohammed urged  the PDP to urgently resolve the crisis in order to avoid a situation where it will slide into the minority when  57 members of the New PDP join ranks with the APC which has 137 members.
