The Peoples Democratic Party in Kogi State has reacted to the planned impeachment of the Deputy Governor, Elder Simon Achuba by members of the House of Assembly, warning that the lawmakers were towing the path of self-destruction-.
In a statement issued in Lokoja and signed by its publicity secretary, Prince Bode Ogunmola, the party, observed that the lawmakers were by their action, ceding their independence to the executive.
“What impeachable offence did the Deputy Governor commit by choosing to be on the side of the people and kicking against the open rape of our state treasury?
“With this calibre of men in our supposed hallowed chamber, our state is in deep trouble. We are constrained to warn that the lawmakers risk attracting to themselves the wrath of our people and more importantly, eroding the respect that should be accorded the institution.”
The PDP condemned the attempt by the lawmakers to impeach the Deputy Governor, asking them not to subject themselves to the whims and caprices of the executive.
