The House Majority Leader, Ado Doguwa, during plenary on Monday
said that Hon. Chinda was not representing the position of the PDP
caucus of the House as he claims and is acting alone.
He also noted that the President’s decision not to honour the
House was due to the utterances of the lawmaker calling for his
impeachment, and concerns that the President would be embarrassed
If he honoured the invitation.
Hon. Chinda in a press release on December 7, called on
Nigerians irrespective of political party, tribe, or religion to
compel their representatives to commence the impeachment process
against the President.
The lawmaker’s call for impeachment is not unconnected with the
rising cases of insecurity being witnessed across the country.

Impeachment
However, House spokesman Hon. Benjamin Kalu described Chinda’s
call as the “opinion of a single member of the opposition party in
the house.”
He said calls for impeachment were not logical as the President
is yet to appear before the House to explain what his
administration is doing to address the security issue.
“If this call came post-President’s visit for the failure to
dialogue well enough in securing solutions or due to his inability
to put our positions to use, it would appear logical.
“Unfortunately, this call is not only illogical, but it also
appears as a tool mischievously thrown up to disrupt the agenda of
the coming visit with all it sets out to achieve in the spirit of
nation-building which remains the mantra of the 9th Assembly and is
considered a joint task”, Kalu added.
