The opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the National Assembly to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari, over the embarrassing reports of the missing 2016 budget from the National Assembly.

The party also called for the resignation of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, for plunging the nation’s currency policy into chaos.

The party’s position was disclosed in a statement released by the PDP Acting National Chairman, Uche Secondus, on Thursday.

“National Working Committee rose from a meeting Thursday charging the National Assembly to commence impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari for the various constitutional breaches especially the submission of two version of the 2006 budget.”

The party also urged the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, and Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udo Udoma, to resign “having failed to provide the much needed capacity in the management of the nation’s economy resulting in the embarrassing crashing of the nation’s currency to as low as N305 to a dollar.”

“We sympathize with Nigerians who are seriously undergoing terrible hardship because of the now obvious inept leadership of APC despite the promise of one Naira to a dollar.

“What hope can a government that allows its currency to break a 43 year old record crashing to over N300 to one dollar offer and yet does not show it has clear focus of what to do”.

“APC government rather than address very grievous national issues created by its lack of capacity to govern has instead resorted to violation of peoples rights in the name of fighting corruption.”
