Chairman of the Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory, Dino Melaye has stated on Wednesday morning, that reports he was planning to initiate impeachment proceeding against President Muhammadu Buhari were not true.
The senator from Kogi State said the "falsehood" emanated from those who didn't want Nigeria to progress unless they were in power. Mr. Melaye made the remarks in a statement he signed and distributed on Wednesday morning in Abuja.
"It is pertinent to note that the incredulously machinated misinformation was orchestrated by forces bent on destabilising the upper chambers of the Nigerian Parliament for selfish reasons.
"One of the mushroom and faceless online platforms used to promote the ill-fated and calumnious write-up has been notorious for serving as the propagandist machinery of political commercialists who are pushing for the extension of their fiefdom to the National Assembly," Mr. Melaye said.
Mr. Melaye was reported to have told senators during an executive session on Tuesday that lawmakers should pass articles of impeachment against Mr. Buhari for his alleged disrespect for the National Assembly.
