PDP Senators Commence Move to Impeach Jonathan Borrowing a leaf from the move by members of the House of Representatives, especially from the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC, who began collecting signatures for the impeachment of President Goodluck Jonathan, Senators under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP< have also initiated moved to begin impeachment proceedings on the President. The PDP senators who are said to have already started compiling impeachable offences against the president are hinging their decision on the alleged high level of impunity and corruption allegedly being condoned by his administration. An APC Senator who confirmed the development said the PDP senators have already started reaching out to other senators in the opposition party, particularly the APC senators to support the impeachment move. Some Peoples Democratic Party’s senators on Monday started impeachment moves against President Goodluck Jonathan over what they described as the high level of impunity and corruption allegedly being condoned by his administration. Investigations by our correspondent revealed that the PDP senators had started compiling impeachable offences against the President. An All Progressives Congress member of the Senate, who confided the development in our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, explained that his aggrieved PDP colleagues in the upper chamber had started reaching out to the opposition senators. He said, “I was personally consulted this evening over the issue and I also cross-checked from my colleagues who also told me that they had been contacted. “The grouse of the lawmakers, according to the person that contacted me, was that Jonathan’s handling of the last week Thursday’s invasion of the National Assembly by the police was carelessly handled by the Jonathan administration. “From the look of things, the proceedings will start on Tuesday because some signatures had been collected already.” Another senator from the PDP, who also craved anonymity, also confirmed the development to our correspondent stating that it was certain that the President was not capable of superintending over a free and fair election in 2015.
