Chinda, who represents Obio/Akpo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives made the call during a chat with newsmen in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
He said the call for impeachment proceedings against the number one citizen became imperative due to growing concerns of insecurity and the lack of basic amenities under the President Buhari led government; adding that the powers of the national legislature was not to call for the President’s resignation, but to immediately commence proceedings for his impeachment.
“I am not mincing words. I said the powers of the National Assembly is not to call for resignation, but to commence impeachment. So I support the move for commencement of impeachment of the President.
“I have said this years back. I didn’t say it today and that is why I keep quiet and watch when people are talking about resignation because I know that like Senator Sani said, what they are doing now is to use perfume, deodorant in an attempt to perhaps kill insects. It doesn’t work,” he said.
Hon. Chinda said the calls for the resignation of Mr. President and the Service Chiefs was not necessary, noting that the way to go is for the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings.
“President will not resign. Service Chiefs will not resign. National Assembly should commence impeachment,” he stated, urging the apex administration to redeem its image by stepping up its efforts in improving security and assure Nigerians of their safety.
