There Are Plans To Impeach Jonathan, Edwin Clark, Others Allege

From some South-South Elders and Leaders came an alarm today that there are underground moves by some members of the two chambers of the National Assembly to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan.

The group led by Ijaw leader and former minister, Edwin Clark said some vested interests are trying to hijack the ongoing labour-government dispute over the withdrawal of fuel subsidy by the Jonathan administration to remove the president. Their position however contradicts the statement of some ex-militants who at a press briefing in Abuja on Sunday that they have uncovered a plot by some people to assassinate Jonathan and top members of his government.

According to Clark who was supported by other leaders from the south-south region :“The People of the South-Sought will not tolerate any untoward action or plan against our son, whose actions though seemingly painful in the interim, are geared towards repositioning this country for the ultimate good of all in the future.”
