PDP moves to broker peace between Jonathan, Reps

ABUJA — The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said yesterday that it has put in place machinery to look into the impeachment threat of President Goodluck Jonathan by the House of Representatives and the position of the President as part of moves to resolve the logjam for the interest of democracy.
Addressing journalists on the outcome of the meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC, Deputy National Chairman, Dr. Sam Sam Jaja, who noted that it was not the first time any President would be threatened with impeachment, noted that in America, several presidents had been threatened with impeachment.
He said: "The party is taking up the process because there is a process with which party meets the people. Many of them are PDP people, but they have their grievances.
"We will not also say that they are PDP people and of course we will lord it over them. This thing must be attended to diplomatically, so that wherever anybody has gone wrong, it will be sorted out and eventually this storm will definitely die down.
"The party has set up machinery to look into all the grievances of members of the National Assembly and what is the positionof the President. There must be an area forthe two parties to meet and this thing should be resolved for the interest of democracy in this country. So, there is no threat actually, as it were, it is the usual thing that happens in any democratic process."
