The Interim National Publicity
Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Lai Mohammed, reiterates
the party’s call for the impeachment of President Goodluck Jonathan, in
this interview with ALLWELL OKPI
The All Progressives Congress recently called for the impeachment of President Goodluck Jonathan. What prompted this call?
In our press release, we gave reasons for
our asking for the President to be impeached. One is that we are
running a democracy and particularly, it is a presidential system of
government. That being so, it provides for separation of powers. Power
is shared by the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. The
system gives a lot of powers to the executive, but being conscious of
human nature that this power could be abused, it also provides for
checks and balances. That is why the constitution says the president or
the governor can be removed if he is found guilty of charges of gross
misconduct. In principle, what we said and did was simply following the
constitution, which allows for the president to be impeached.
