Nicholas Tofowomo, a senator from Ondo South, has expressed sadness over the Senate’s purported incapacity to impeach President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) in light of the country’s current security situation and other problems.
He said that the Senate ought to have removed Buhari from office two years ago.
He said this in a conversation with our correspondent on Friday in Akure, the state’s capital.
Tofowomo stated that the nation needed to be saved from an impending utter collapse and claimed that the Buhari-led administration had completely failed to owe to its failure to handle any of the problems facing the country.
The senator said, “Look at us in the National Assembly now. We are leaving in seven months and we are now demonstrating. Does it make sense?
“Because I am part of them, I have to join them. If you look at it genuinely, we should have done this two years ago. It is very sad.
“In Abuja now, everybody is hiding. If you go to malls now, they are just like ghost towns. Even the National Assembly, everywhere is dry. Everybody has run away. Even the APC senators are angry.
“The naira is falling every second. Internal security is gone. What is honorable is for Buhari to just resign. But the minister is telling us that what we are doing is babyish.
“It is very unfortunate because our future is not bright. In the law school in Abuja now, they are hiding. Boko Haram has been to the school two times. The country has collapsed.
“You know we have a closed session on Thursday. The majority of those in the session is for Buhari to be impeached, including members of the APC.
“I suggested that Buhari should be summoned to the National Assembly to come and give an account of the Nigeria Security and if he doesn’t come, we should impeach him.
“This is what we should have done two years ago but Buhari has already pocketed the senate. If not, his ministry would not be saying that against us.”
Tofowomo added that boosting the police was one approach to improve the internal security system and noted that the Nigerian police are subpar.
