Following moves to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari at a close door
session on Wednesday, Senator Hamma Misau, representing Bauchi Central
Senatorial District has criticized his Colleagues for leaking top
secrets to journalists.
Moving a motion through Order 43 of the
Senate, 2015 Standing Rules, he said it was a tradition of the Senate
that whatever was discussed at a closed-door session must be held back
from the prying eyes of journalists, while expressing disappointment
that after such session, some Senators would reveal the whole
deliberations to journalists.
While displaying copies of some
National Dailies, and reading through headlines and sub titles, the pro
Saraki Senator advised that lawmaker should have been mature enough to
hold confidential issues close to their chest.
“Mr.
President, Distinguished Colleagues, I am holding some copies of the
National Dailies here with headlines, ‘Senate plots Impeachment of
President Buhari. Why did some of our colleagues disclose issues at
close door?, ” he asked.
Misau who did not deny the impeachment
plot questioned why some dailies said himself and two others were those
insisting that Buhari must be impeached.
In his respnse, the Senate President referred the matter to Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions.
