Latest reports coming out of the Nigerian Senate inform that President Goodluck Jonathan may no longer have a grip on the upper legislative chamber of the Senate.
According to Thisday report, some senators of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Tuesday threatened to impeach President Jonathan for working against their political interests in their various states.
It was gathered that the lawmakers also vowed to team up with the House of Representatives to impeach the president if doing so eventually becomes an option they would have to explore.
This decision was the fallout of the closed-door session held by the PDP caucus in the Senate in protest of their losses at last Saturday’s congresses of the ruling party in their various states.
The senators are alleging that they lost out because of the alleged betrayal by the president whom they said they had supported prior to his emergence as acting president on February 9, 2009 up to this last weekend.
Investigation revealed that in a bid to show their bitterness towards the president, the senators boycotted legislative activities on Tuesday by adjourning sitting without considering a single item on the Order Paper.
The senators also vowed to repeat the same during plenary on Wednesday, threatening that the trend would continue indefinitely until the president addressed their grievances.
