Following the recent move by some lawmakers to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari over the country’s growing security crisis, Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has boasted that the National Assembly cannot impeach him.
Adesina made the shocking revelation recently on Channels Television.
He said; “The National Assembly has a self-regulatory mechanism. It is so composed that minorities can’t have their way.”
“They cannot force it down the throats of the majority and fortunately, in those Chambers, we have sensible people who will say ‘No, it’s true we have insecurity in the country and the President is doing his best, so let us continue to encourage the security agencies to do better’.”
“Mr. President is not going to wave a magic wand to solve the security issues. No one has such a magic wand. It is something that would be done methodically.”
“It’s something that will be done systematically… It’s not going to be by magic wand. There’s no magic wand to solve this kind of problem.”
Recall that Senators from all parties stormed out of the plenary on Wednesday, July 27th, 2022, calling for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari as well as Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan, over Nigeria’s rising rate of insecurity.
