The astute lawmaker said the impeachment of President Trump on charges that he abused the power of his office for domestic political advantage and subsequently obstructed Congress’ abilities to hold him accountable is not just laughable but a show of overzealousness by the Democrats controlled parliament.

Kurfi said the process by the House of Representatives which was successful against the 45th president of America is a surprise for many Africans.

He said the voting process was flagrantly conducted along party lines by a country that serves as a symbol of constitutional democracy.

"The approval of such two articles of impeachment against President Trump making him the third President in history to face removal is utterly in bad taste, those responsible for this have set a dangerous precedent for that country and posterity may not be kind with them," Kurfi said.

The former lawmaker said that although he has no doubt that the US Senate will stand for the truth in this matter, the upper chamber will also uphold justice and fairness above partisan politics and such pecuniary interests will upturn the decision of the House.

Also commending over his firmness, in all the raging storm that brewed during the impeachment process, Kurfi said the US president is a great and fearless leader who cannot be distracted by "the shenanigans of some misguided politicians".

"In the eye of the storm, President Trump is still coming out strong and not perturbed by the shenanigans of some misguided politicians who don't seem to like him," Kurfi said.

He said: "Seeing Trump in this posture simply show he will clinch the Presidential seat for another term in office and I use this medium to implore the American Senate to trash in the bin any obnoxious article which may be brought to them to suggest an impeachment plan against the sitting President who puts America first in all his dealings."

He further urged the US Senate not to condone polarization nor allow it to grip the American politics in the Trump era.
