The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday said reports of a plot to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari by some senators during a closed session of the senate on Tuesday is laughable and a joke taken too far.
A statement signed by Mai Mala Buni, national secretary of the APC, advised the senators in question to stop the huge joke and concentrate on their primary constitutional responsibilities of lawmaking and discharging of their legislative mandates to their constituents.
“The attention of the national secretariat of the APC has been drawn to media reports of a laughable impeachment plot by some senators against President Muhammadu Buhari during Tuesday’s July 12, 2016 closed session of the Senate.
“The Party will not join issues on the senate forgery suit and other court cases concerning some members of the 8th senate because it will be sub judice.

“We advise the senators in question to tow the same line and allow judicial processes run it normal and legitimate course.
“Repeated allegations that the court cases are politically-motivated by the President and the APC are baseless.
“The President Muhammadu Buhari administration strictly respects the principle of the rule of law and also adheres to the constitutional provisions of separation of powers between the three arms of government, “it said.
