Impeachment: Buhari meets Mark, Nnamani behind close door

Aminu Masari
paid a visit to President Mohammadu Buhari
on Monday at the presidential villa, Abuja.
This would be the first known time, Mark
would be sighted anywhere in the Villa since
Buhari assumed office on May 29, 2015.
Though his visit coincided with the others, it
was not known whether his coming had any
connection with that of the former leaders
of the National Assembly.


President Buhari

The meetings held behind closed door and
there was no official status on them.
But the air around the villa was heavy with
feelings of the widely speculated
impeachment of the president by the
senate.
Recall that media reports made the rounds
last week alleging that the Senate was
contemplating to launch impeachment
proceedings against Buhari.
Though the senate later denied such move,
Buhari's All Progressives Congress (APC)
while reacting to reports rather described
the move as a joke taken too far.
Besides this, another reason that was
speculated as to why the political
heavyweights stormed the villa was the
apparent frosty relationship between the
presidency and Senate owing the trial of
current Senate President, Bukola Saraki, his
deputy, Ike Ekweremadu and two others
over alleged forgery of the Senate Standing
Rules.
Recall also that outside from the forgery
case, Saraki is also facing trial at the Code
of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, for alleged false
declaration of assets.
