It's unfair and indeed unfortunate that the Nigerian Political Elites see impeachment as a political tool to unsettle elected leaders;
Impeachment is a strict constitutional requirement that can only be deployed as a last resort, it cannot be the first option;
It amounts to reasoning like suicide bombers, whose only strategy is to kill and exterminate. There are too many ill equipped elites in this country.
John Gaul Lebo
Honourable Speaker
8th Cross River State House of Assembly
12 July 2016
The above statement is attributed to the Honourable Member representing Abi State Constituency and Speaker of the Cross River State House of Assembly (CRSHA), John Gaul Lebo. It was made yesterday in reaction to a social media thread posted by Atlanta based social commentator, Princewill Odidi titled: On Buhari's Impeachment —My Take of 12 July 2016.
It may be the leading Honourable Member may be sending a coded message to his colleagues who have been attempting to impeach him as Speaker of the 8th CRSHA. For Lebo, his pro-impeachment colleagues are ill-equipped as they reason like suicide bombers whose first and last resort to resolving crisis is to kill.
Does the reader agree with the Honourable Speaker?

He is Right because Impeachment was not to be Announcement and Routine in Democracy even when Someone is Right!
