The presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has cautioned members of the National Assembly against impeaching President Muhmmadu Buhari.
Kwankwaso while speaking at Kwara State Government House in Illorin urged the lawmakers not to be in a hurry in taking the decision.
“I don’t know the facts that they have. But as their former colleague, I want them to tread very softly,” he said.
“They should not be in a hurry to rock the boat. Yes, I know they have reasons to be worried – I am sure everybody in this country is worried about insecurity; because some of these things could happen to anybody – even the presidential fleet was attacked in Katsina State. So, I think we need to do more,” he added.
According to him, the military is capable of winning the war against insurgency therefore he advocated for wide consultation irrespective of political differences.
The minority caucus of the National Assembly earlier this week resolved to begin impeachment proceedings against the President in six weeks if the country’s security situation does not improve.
On his part, the Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, called for understanding and collaboration between politicians to bring about development in the country.
