Impeachment: Soyinka Supports The Motion Against Buhari -READ WHY

Following that threat, Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, had during an interactive session organised to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Abeokuta Club on Tuesday, supported the move.

The session, which had in attendance a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana; the Registrar of the Joint Administration and Matriculation Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede; a lawyer, Gbenga Adeoye; a businessman, Ogo-Oluwa Bankole; and the spokesman of the Electricity Distribution Companies, Sunday Oduntan, as panellists, had as its theme "Good governance or mis-governance: The contract called democracy.ÔÇØ

Soyinka, the session's moderator, noted that the President should be impeached on the grounds of breaching the democracy contract

He said, "Democracy indicates a contract, that is why the candidate puts on a manifesto. On the basis of that manifesto, the candidate is either accepted or rejected.

"Very often, the grounds for breach of contract, I think we all agree, is mis-governance and one of the ways of breaking this kind of contract we know even before the duration of a contract is known as impeachment.

"The reason we will go by some legislators to impeach the President who is the head of government. In fact, one cleric has gone even further. He believes that the impeachment should take place not in the legislative home but in the bush with the kidnappers and he appealed to the kidnappers to quicken the process by impeaching the President and take him away and some of his aides and one or two governors.ÔÇØ

Soyinka, however, threw the question open as to whether the President should be impeached or not, and majority of the people who comprised members of the club and other dignitaries raised their hands that Buhari be impeached.
