The house of representatives has no iota of evidence of impeachable offence against President Muhammadu Buhari, according to Alhassan Doguwa, chief whip of the green chamber.
Talks of impeachment emanated last week after a rancorous executive session within the senate chamber.
However, the senate immediately disregarded the report while promising to investigate the origin of the rumour.
Speaking in the same vein, Doguwa, who represents Doguwa/Tudun Wada constituency in Kano state, said the house of representatives has never entertained the prospect of impeaching Buhari.

“As far as I am concerned, I am a member of house of representatives and a principal officer of the house; the national assembly is a twin institution; we have the house and we have the senate,” he said in a statement.
“If there is any insinuation or speculation about the impeachment of Mr President in any chamber rather than the house of representatives, that, I don’t know.
“But I want to be very straight forward to you that we don’t have such a consideration before us; that matter is not even being contemplated; it was not even at any point in time thought of.

“After all, we do not have any evidence of impeachable offence with which to use against Mr President.”
