The Chairman, Senate Committee on Cooperation and Integration in Africa and New Partnership for Africa’s Development, Senator Simeon Ajibola; a senator that represented Kwara South in 1999, Senator Makanjuola Ajadi, and the Kwara State Chairman of SURE- P, Mr. Moses Ibiyemi, have said any attempt to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan will fail.

They disclosed this during a political sensitisation at Ajase-Ipo in Kwara yesterday. Speaking on behalf of others, Ajibola, who represents Kwara South Senatorial District said,“Where will those calling for Jonathan’s impeachment get two-third majority to do that kind of thing? Apart from that, many of the legislatures are independent-minded and sensible. They will not want to destroy the peace of Nigeria by embarking on that type of journey. So, they cannot succeed. The call does not make any meaning at all. Just because a particular former President wrote a letter; is that letter the basis for impeaching a president? Whether the content of the letter is true or not, nobody knows. How can you be calling for an impeachment? It does not make any meaning at all. The defection of these people from PDP to APC will not affect the progress of PDP in Kwara State. PDP will still win both the governorship and presidential elections in the state come 2015.”
