An online group, Citizengo.org has started collecting signatures to back up a petition for an impeachment process against President Muhammadu Buhari.
Already, thousands of Nigerians have signed the petition which is circulating like wildfire on social media platforms like WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook and email.
The petition titled, “The Nigeria 8th National Assembly: Impeach Buhari Now,” is addressed to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, respectively.
The petition reads, “The core rationale for the massive movement against the last administration was their alleged failure in security, economy and the curbing corruption which the incumbent president promised to fix but three solid years after this pact (social contract) with the citizenry, we have been plunged into the worst abyss in the history of our democracy.
“Nigeria has become a pariah state under this president and the number of deaths across the country is at an alarming rate as the Fulani militia has demonstrably been given license to kill Nigerians with impunity.

“The current ploy is to kill priests and parishioners with the hope of plunging Nigeria into yet another civil war right under the nose of our listless and impotent president.
“On behalf of Nigerians under siege by the lying treasury looters and supporters of killer Fulani militia and balkanized security system against the Nigerian state, we are demanding that the National Assembly commences the impeachment process of the president as the people have passed a vote of no confidence in his leadership, effective immediately.
“We earnestly expect your expeditious action before we shut down the country with protest across Nigeria,” the group concluded.
