The Lawmakers say Jonathan would be impeached if he doesn't implement the 2012 budget properly. He was served with an impeachment warning threatening to remove him from office. It followed a motion moved by Minority Leader Femi Gbajabiamila, he argued that the President was negligent of his primary duty of implementing the budget which would have addressed the Nations poor infrastructural Development. The lawmaker said while the house should respect the Presidents personality,there was a need to mete out the p[penalty as a deterrent to leaders who flaunt the law. He had barely finished his speech when he was interrupted by Karibo Soalaboye a PDP rep for Bayelsa who represented the Presidents Constituency in the house, that the house should blame it on the Finance Minister and not the President.
Meanwhile the President has reacted throught the Special adviser to the President on Communication Dr Reuben Abati who said that the President was on the same page as the House of Reps on the need for proper budget implementation. We await the Budget implementation.
