Reacting to the alleged impeachment plot by the Senate against President Muhammadu Buhari, the National Chairman of the United Progressives Party, UPP, Chief Chekwas Okorie, has described it as "satanic and subversive."
In a statement made available to newsmen in Enugu on Thursday, Okorie cautioned the Senate against wielding the impeachment weapon.
He also advised the Senate leadership currently facing a forgery trial, to submit itself to the judicial process.
The UPP Chieftain said: "The threats emanating from some persons in the National Assembly to commence impeachment proceedings against President Muhammadu Buhari for unspecified impeachable offences at this point in time are satanic, subversive and dangerous.
"It should be erased completely from the minds of those contemplating such move. Any such act of vengeance will be most unpopular, unpatriotic and condemnable. All hands must be on deck to salvage our country from its present state of economic downturn, excruciating poverty and security challenges.
"In the spirit of separation of powers, as clearly defined in the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria as amended, it behoves on the National Assembly and its leadership to submit themselves to the judicial process with regard to the on-going trial of some top officers of the Senate on forgery accusation."
