PRESIDENT G. JONATHAN |
The Nigerian government
has condemned the call for the impeachment of President Goodluck Jonathan by the
All Progressives Congress, asking the party to be ready to face the
consequences of treason.
A
statement issued on Sunday by APC’s interim National Publicity Secretary, Lai
Mohammed, called on the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against
Jonathan over an alleged gross misconduct.
But a
statement from the presidency described the impeachment call as an
“opportunistic, partisan and ill-motivated statement beyond the bounds of
honourable and acceptable political conduct.
The
Presidency also warned that the APC and any persons used for the breach of
public order and safety would be made to face the full sanctions of the law.
The APC had cited former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s
letter to Jonathan last week that had generated reactions, alleging that the
presidency is training 1,000 snipers.
