Senators move to impeach President Jonathan Some Peoples Democratic Party’s senators on Monday started impeachment moves against President Goodluck Jonathan over what they described as the high level of impunity and corruption allegedly being condoned by his administration. Investigations by Punch’s correspondent revealed that the PDP senators had started compiling impeachable offences against the President. An All Progressives Congress member of the Senate, who confided the development in Punch’s correspondent on the condition of anonymity, explained that his aggrieved PDP colleagues in the upper chamber had started reaching out to the opposition senators. He said, “I was personally consulted this evening over the issue and I also cross-checked from my colleagues who also told me that they had been contacted. “The grouse of the lawmakers, according to the person that contacted me, was that Jonathan’s handling of the last week Thursday’s invasion of the National Assembly by the police was carelessly handled by the Jonathan administration. “From the look of things, the proceedings will start on Tuesday because some signatures had been collected already.”
