The lawmaker representing Ondo South Senatorial District, Senator Nicholas Tofowomo, has expressed regret over the inability of the Upper Chamber to remove President Muhammadu Buhari in 2020.
Tofowomo stated this while reacting to the continued rise in insecurity and other challenges facing in the country.
In a chat with newsmen on Friday in Akure, the lawmaker said the Senate ought to have impeach the president since two years ago.
While declaring that there is an urgent need to save the country from imminent total collapse, Tofowomo said the Buhari-led administration had failed over its inability to address any of the challenges of the nation.
He 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 honourable 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 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. Majority of those in the session are 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 minister would not be saying that against us.”
The lawmaker further pointed out that one of the ways to improve internal security in Nigeria was by strengthening the police, stressing that the police force is poor.
