The apex Igbo socio-political organization, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has said the National Assembly should impeach Vice President Yemi Osinbajo alongside President Muhammadu Buhari.

Ohanaeze said Buhari and Osinbajo have failed in their primary responsibility of protecting Nigerians.

The body said Buhari and Osinbajo’s inability to protect Nigerians shows a failure of leadership in governance.

recalled that senators had threatened to serve an impeachment notice on Buhari over his inability to tackle insecurity in the country.

The Senate minority caucus gave Buhari a six-week ultimatum to tackle insecurity in the country.

Reacting, Ohanaeze said Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, stands to benefit if Osinbajo is exempted from the impeachment process.

In a statement by its Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze warned the National Assembly that “if the impeachment threats served to President Buhari should be taken seriously, Vice President Yemi Osibanjo must be part of the impeachment process, as both of them have failed Nigerians.

“The exemption of the Vice President from the impeachment threats shows that the APC Presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stands to be a major beneficiary.”

Ohanaeze said Osinbajo may create loopholes that would favour Tinubu in the 2023 election if he becomes president.
