WAHALA! Budget: Court refuses to stop Reps from impeaching Jonathan

 

The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, yesterday, declined request to stop the House of Representatives from commencing impeachment proceedings against President Goodluck Jonathan.

Following moves by the
lower legislative House to invoke its statutory powers and remove President Jonathan from office over his alleged lackadaisical attitude towards achieving 100 percent implementation of the 2012 budget, the National Chairman of the African Liberation Party, ALP, Dr. Emmanuel Okereke, approached the high court, asking it to stop the process.


The court presided by Justice Gabriel Kolawole ruled that ‘’no single arm of government can constitute itself as an impediment to the exercise of constitutional powers by another arm of government.’’.
