The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has denied the speculation that the President, Goodluck Jonathan is behind the impeachment of Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako and the present situation of the governor of Nasarawa State, Tanko Al-Matura.
In a statement issued by the PDP National Auditor, Alhaji Adewole ADeyanju, he challenged the opposition party to make public, a proof that shows that the president is behind their impeachment. He said “I challenge the main opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC, and its leaders to come out with their facts that President Goodluck Jonathan was involved in the impeachment saga so as to convince Nigerians and the International Community that they were sure of what they are saying or shut up and stop feeding the members of the public with tissue of lies.
He reminded the opposition that the lawmakers followed due process, was served with impeachment notice, and also requested to defend themselves.
“The questions we should be asking ourselves are: Did the lawmakers follow the Constitution of the land? Did they follow due process? Were they served with impeachment notices for them to defend themselves? This is mere blasphemy and it will not work. Nyako was served with impeachment notice to appear before a seven-man panel to defend himself against all the allegations levelled against him and he refused to obey, and what did he do? He went ahead to declare two days holiday for reasons best known to him, while his deputy resigned when he knew that the game was up.
“In the case of Governor Al-Makura, the House wanted to serve him impeachment notice on several occasions but he refused service before the lawmakers went ahead and published it in the newspapers. They should leave the President and our party out of their predicament; we knew nothing about it, it is democracy in action.”
