63 Senators Back-Plan To Impeach President Jonathan?

Punch is reporting that 63 senators as of

They reported that one of the arrowheads of the
move to remove Jonathan in the Senate showed
one of their correspondents the list containing the
signatures of the senators. A source told the
paper that 8 PDP senators were among the
signatories to the planned impeachment notice.
There are 109 members in the Senate.

From Punch
An All Progressives Congress senator from the
North-West zone, who asked not to be named,
told our correspondent that the lawmakers
major grouse was the President's handling of
the economy and political affairs of the country.
The senator cited poor implementation of the
national budget since 2011, alleged high level of
corruption and gross disregard of the
legislature at both the federal and state levels as
topping the list of lawmakers anger against
Jonathan.
Asked whether he realised that the process of
impeachment could be tedious and cumbersome,
the senator said, We know and we are
prepared to show the President that we have
responsibility to the people and the nation in
general.
We are prepared to lay the impeachment notice
anytime from next week. Meetings are already
being held.
Senator Ibrahim Musa (APC Niger North)
confirmed that there were moves by some
members of the Senate to initiate impeachment
proceedings against the President but failed to
give details.
I think there is something like that but I don't
have the details, it is still coming as a rumour,
Musa said.
