Impeachment threat: NASS is engaging in ‘hungry throat politics’ - Auchi chief

Alhaji Usman Abudah, the Dan’iya of Auchi kingdom,
has said that NASS’ impeachment threat against Buhari
is nothing short of hungry throat politics
- He also chided the lawmakers for their stance
towards the president’s purchase of 12 Tucano
aircraft; asking them if they wanted Buhari to pick up
his uniform and march into war
- According to Abudah, appearing in well-starched
outfits is not a sincere demonstration of showing
concern for the safety of the nation
The Dan’iya of Auchi kingdom, Edo state, Alhaji
Usman Abudah, has described the National
Assembly’s impeachment threat against
President Muhammadu Buhari as an act of
“hungry throat politics”.
In a chat with newsmen in Benin, Abudah said
the resolution was a “package of idle
representatives of the Nigerian citizenry,” The
Nation reports.
NAIJ.com gathers that he said the lawmakers had
exposed their nonchalant attitude towards the
welfare of Nigerians, by their disposition towards
the purchase of 12 Tucano aircraft to enable the
Nigerian military fight the Boko Haram
insurgency.


He stated: “Mr President is supervising all the security
agencies involved in the war against Boko Haram and is
providing the needed weaponry. One is at a loss as to what
the legislators want Mr President to do - to go and pick up
his soldiering uniforms and march to war?
“I want to believe that our politicians should realize their
functions and those of the commander in-chief, pertaining
to the safety of this nation. Were it in developed countries,
the Senate president ought to have stepped down from his
position until the cases he is being tried for are concluded.
“While I am not advocating for sanity to be put into place
through military coup, I responsibly request our elected
representatives to behave by not threatening President
Muhammadu Buhari with impeachment even when
themselves are not behaving better.
“Intimidating President Buhari with those resolutions is
nothing short of hungry throat politics. Appearing in well-
starched outfits is not a sincere demonstration of showing
concern for the safety of the nation."

Meanwhile, adegokblog .com previously reported that the
National Assembly was lauded by the Oodua
People’s Congress (OPC) , for its joint resolution
on Tuesday, June 5, to sanction President
Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement, the group’s founder, Frederick
Fasehun said the move was a commendable step
to protect Nigeria’s democracy and check it’s
slide into totalitarianism. He added that it was
long overdue.
