Parties, CNPP, Mr.Baba Agan, has faulted the impeachment threatby the
House of Representatives against President Goodluck Jonathan, advising
that the lawmakers should first purge themselves of corruption.
Fielding questions from newsmen in Makurdi, yesterday, Agan said the
plot by members of the House smacks of hidden agenda and not what they
want Nigerians to believe.
He said: "The way I see the whole issue, it goesbeyond what they are
saying. I am sure the non-implementation of the budget is not the real
issue. I strongly believe that it goes beyondthat.
"It is either for political or selfish interest that they are doing
what they are presently doing."
Agan recalled that corruption under democratic governance started with
the members of the National Assembly, who under the past
administration of former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, demanded
huge sums of money as furniture and other allowances.
He said the practise later extended to the state Houses of Assembly
and councilors at the local government level.
"I advise that the House members should first purge themselves of all
the allegations of corruption hanging on their necks before embarking
on this ill-fated assignment that will serve no useful purpose to the
average Nigerian," Agan added.
