Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu,
the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has alleged that
some members of the National Assembly were planning to impeach President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Tinubu said this on
Wednesday at the formal defection of ex-senate Minority Leader, Sen. Godswill
Akpabio, at the Ikot Ekpene township stadium in Akwa Ibom.
NAN reports that he warned
the plotters to drop their sinister move because it is not “possible for a
lizard to wrestle an antelope’’.
He described what was
happening in the country now as a war between progressives and the
conservatives.
“We believe in government
of the people, for the people and by the people but the conservatives believe
in government of sharing.
“We say Nigerian money
belongs to Nigerians. We say Nigerians must be given development. We believe in
investing in the people.
“But they believe in
sharing and looting the money.
“Today we are aspiring in
our vision, but the PDP has no vision. They believe in sharing and looting the
treasury,’’ he said.
Nigerians, he said, gave PDP
16 years to rule but the party failed.
“Today, Buhari says we must
change; we must account for Nigeria’s money but they are resisting,’’ he added.
He expressed happiness that
Akwa Ibom had embraced the change of Buhari.
Quoting the Bible, Tinubu,
a Muslim said: “The people in the city shall be swept away with brooms.’’
Tinubu, however, praised
the wife of Akpabio, Ekaete for her resilience and steadfastness in her support
for her husband.
