Impeachment: ‘Seven days is enough,’ Falana tackles opposition lawmakers over six-week ultimatum to Buhari to fix insecurity

Human Rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), has dismissed the six-week ultimatum given to President Muhammadu Buhari to fix insecurity as unrealistic.

Recall that Senators from opposition parties had on Wednesday issued a six-week ultimatum to the president to tackle the security challenges bedevilling the country.

They also threatened to commence impeachment proceedings against the president should he fail to address the insecurity within the period given by the lawmakers.

But speaking on Thursday on a monitored interview on Channels Television, Falana said the National Assembly should have given Buhari a seven-day ultimatum.

“In six weeks, there may not be a National Assembly to return to,” Falana said.

The legal luminary also warned that the situation might get worse if the executive and legislators do not urgently intervene.
