The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has condemned the impeachment move against Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom.
Eight members of the State House of Assembly had signed the noice.
Afenifere, in a communique issued on Tuesday after a meeting in Akure, the Ondo State capital, described the development as a “legislative rascality”.
The group also condemned the use of money as an instrument of election into public offices by contestants and their parties.
“Afenifere demands from INEC to adhere to the highest standard in election transparency, failing which Nigeria will lose faith in its ability to conduct free, fair and credible election in 2019”, it said.
The group further lamented the degenerating insecurity in the country.
“It is our view that the federal government’s failure to take decisive steps in curtailing security breaches is not only encouraging perpetrators, it is accentuating insecurity and seriously endangering the lives of millions of Nigerians,” it added.
Afenifere added that restructuring Nigeria remained a fundamental solution to the nation’s challenges.
