Senators from opposition Political Parties have issued a six-week ultimatum to President Muhammadu Buhari to address the security challenges across the country.
The Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Philip Aduda, made the position of the lawmakers known on Wednesday while briefing reporters at the National Assembly in Abuja.
The lawmakers also threatened to commence impeachment proceedings against the President if he fail to address the insecurity problems within the stipulated time frame.
Before the briefing, the opposition lawmakers staged a walkout following a call to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari during Wednesday’s plenary.
Senator Aduda had raised a point of order asking the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, to discuss the security situation in the country and the impeachment of President Buhari.
But Senator Lawan, who presided over the plenary, declined the request of the minority leader, saying the point of order raised fell flat on its face.
Angered by the action of the Senate President, all the lawmakers elected on the platforms of all political parties other than the All Progressives Congress (APC) took turns to walk out of the legislative chamber while the plenary was ongoing.
