Jonathan must be impeached - NBA

The Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), on Thursday, called on the National Assembly to start the impeachment move against President Goodluck Jonathan if he fails to reverse the price of petrol.
NBA also stated that it would join the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in the proposed strike scheduled to commence on Monday.
The association made this known in a statement signed by its National President, J.B Daudu, and made available to the Nigerian Tribune in Abuja.
According to the statement, “if the government should apply half the vigour with which it has pursued the issue of the removal of subsidy to the eradication of corruption in all the arms of government and in society in general, then trillions of naira would be freed up for developmental projects.
“Should their call not be heeded by the President, then the National Assembly should seriously consider impeachment proceedings, the president having lost the confidence of Nigerians to continue to rule or lead them.
“If the legislators fail to take the desired actions, then Nigerians will commence the constitutional process to recall them.
“The government clearly does not understand the seriousness of the situation. It has failed to understand that all governments, be they dictatorial or otherwise, enjoy power because the people allow it to remain in power. No government can outlast the will of the people. It is clear that Nigerians do not and will not tolerate subsidy removal under the terms and conditions set out or laid down by the government.”
