Prominent activist Aisha Yesufu has urged the Nigerian Senate to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Bola Tinubu, citing the government’s failure to ensure security in the wake of a recent massacre in Benue State.
Her comments come after the killing of over 200 Nigerians in Yelewata, Guma Local Government Area, an attack carried out by suspected terrorists just days ago. In a post shared on X, Aisha Yesufu criticized President Tinubu’s response to the tragedy, suggesting it was not only insensitive but also indicative of his inability to govern.
Posting on X, Aisha Yesufu wrote: “Now that we have established beyond all reasonable doubt that Mr Tinubu cannot provide leadership for his party and definitely not the country he rigged election to govern, what is the senate President Godswill Akpabio going to do?
“Isn’t it time for Impeachment proceedings to be on the table?
“This is the kind of statement you write when you are a certificate forger in chief and not a commander in chief!
“Lord have mercy. Over 200 of your citizens are killed and you are blaming community leaders for their utterances?
“No legitimate President will do that! What an utter shame.”
Yesufu’s statement has added to growing public outrage following the attack, and raises new questions about the administration’s capacity to protect its citizens. Her call for impeachment places additional pressure on Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who has yet to respond publicly to the tragedy or the impeachment suggestion.
