The upper and lower chambers of the National assembly are holding an emergency joint legislative session on Tuesday afternoon over the current political tension at the Federal level.
The emergency session is an outcome of a separate meeting held on Monday by some members of the national assembly over the alleged assault on members of the national assembly by the executive.
In the shocking meeting that lasted all through the night, some lawmakers proposed an impeachment move against President Buhari. Almost 25 APC lawmakers, who were allegedly planning to defect to PDP are no longer sure of the move after the recent constitutional police charges against Bukola Saraki and Dino Melaye.
An anonymous lawmaker told The Cable that: “When we mooted the idea of impeaching Buhari at the meeting, you could see that our leaders were not comfortable. They are clearly shaken by the robbery charge against Saraki. Dino told Ekweremadu (PDP) that he was wasting his time thinking Buhari would pipe down. He also accused Senator Godswill Akpabio (PDP) of spending money like water to prevent his arrest as if that would solve his problem.”
