The legislator said:

“We are talking with our colleagues. We are also talking to Nigerians and we are asking Nigerians to talk to their representatives. It is not what you want. If the people that the House leader represents in Kano come together and tell him (Doguwa) we want you to sign this impeachment notice, we are in support, he has no right to do otherwise.

Chinda accused the president of failing in his constitutional duties of security the lives and property of the Nigerian people.

In another news, Nigeria's defence minister, Major General Bashir Salihi Magashi (Rtd), has sent an important message to Christians ahead of Christmas celebrations. Magashi called on Christians as they celebrate the birth of Christ to pray for Nigeria to overcome its security challenges.

The defence minister who gave the charge in a statement on Thursday, December 24, noted that the least appreciation Nigerians can show to the soldiers who are fighting patriotically on the frontlines is to pray for them and be security conscious at this time.
