The Senate has assured that there is no impeachable offence against President Muhammadu Buhari and as such, there is no contemplation of impeachment by the chamber.
The Leader of the Senate, Ali Ndume, told newsmen in Abuja on Monday that the president had no impeachable offence hanging on his head.
According to him, the Senate alone cannot even impeach the president and has not contemplated the matter, adding that the rumoured report was coined by the media it originated from.
“The impeachment process is a National Assembly matter not Senate. Senate alone cannot impeach the president. It is the National Assembly that can impeach the president.
“It is the National Assembly and it is by a two-third majority and by clearly stating impeachable offences served on the person if he fails to respond.
“It is a process, is a long tedious process and in this country we don’t even need that; we are not even contemplating it.
“Even if anybody contemplates on it, it is not going to work because this is APC Senate; we have the majority. We don’t have a president that has issues of corruption, integrity, mismanagement.
“We have a president that is straight forward and he doesn’t have any mismanagement or abuse of due process,” he said.
