According to them, the president has to speak on his efforts to stop the rising spate of insecurity in the country.

This followed the killing of farmers in Borno state by Boko Haram members.

Also, the Senate had also asked Buhari to sack his service chiefs.

Recall that Legit.ng had reported that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in the House of Representatives argued in favour of President Buhari’s immediate impeachment over the insecurity in the country.

Kingsley Chinda, the leader of the PDP caucus in the House gave three reasons why an impeachment proceeding should be commenced against the president.

Chinda in a statement pointed out that Buhari should be impeached over alleged incompetence.

Legit.ng had also reported that the festering insecurity across the 19 northern states in Nigeria had turned the northern establishment against President Buhari.
