The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday asked the National Assembly to commence impeachment process of President Muhammedu Buhari for allegedly breaching the constitutional by submitting two version of the 2006 budget.

The party said the National Assembly should thoroughly investigate the shameful act, including the distortion and bandying of figures to accomadate their personal interest and ensure that appropriate sanctions is meted to whoever has a hand in the dubious action that has brought embarrassment to the legislative body.

According to a statement by the acting National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, the opposition party arrived at this decision after rising from an meeting on Thursday.

The party also asked the Ministers of Finance, Budget and National Planning to resign “having failed to provide the much needed capacity in the management of the nation’s economy resulting in the embarrassing crashing of the nation’s currency to as low as N305 to a dollar.”

Also the party asked the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria CBN to resign for “plunging the country’s currency policy into chaos an action that has thrown investors into total confusion.”

The party further “admonished the government to stop pretending that it knows what to do when feelers from the seat of power shows clearly that Nigerians by voting for APC have just discovered they boarded a once chance bus.

“We sympathizes with Nigerians who are seriously undergoing terrible hardship because of the now obvious inept leadership of APC despite the promise of one Naira to a dollar.

“What hope can a government that allows its currency to break a 43 year old record crashing to over N300 to one dollar offer and yet does not show it has clear focus of what to do.

The party said that “APC government rather than address very grievous national issues created by its lack of capacity to govern has instead resorted to violation of peoples rights in the name of fighting corruption.

The party further noted that the continued detention of its Spokesperson Chief Olisa Metuh for nearly 10 days is “in clear breach of his fundamental Human rights and reiterates its earlier call on the anti graft body to release him unconditionally with immediate effect.”

The party further called on all lovers of democracy especially the international community to note the fact that rule of law and respect for citizens rights, essential ingredients of civil liberty have taken flight in Nigeria under President Buhari’s watch.
