- Francis Sardauna

A non-political group, Youth Enlightenm­ent and Social Justice Foundation (YESJUF) in Katsina state yesterday said the alleged plot by some senators to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari was not a solution to the nation’s problem and not in their interest.

Some senators had reportedly recently threatened the president with impeachmen­t over the trial of Senator Bu kola Sara ki and Senator Ike E kw ere ma du over alleged forgery.

The state Chairman of the Foundation Mo ham med I dr is Rum a, in a press conference, describedt­he move by the senators as “Fracas”, and stressed that those calling for the impeachmen­t of the president are not doing it for the interest of many Nigerians.

He said,“Itis ourbelieft­hat the challenges facing this country are not as much as they are being over blown and not up to the level of impeachmen­t under a civil is ed democratic system”.

“We believe President Mu hamma du Buhari is doing his best in ensuring increase security, economic growth, employment opportunit­ies and other programmes and activities as indicators for national developmen­t, so any attempt to impeach him is not in our interest”, Ruma said.

The foundation’s chairman further noted that there are hitch es caused by different forces impeding the smooth administra­tion of President Buhari, and said the problem can be addressed with the support of all and sundry.
