In 2015 Yemi Osinbajo slammed former President Goodluck Jonathan over his government’s failure to rein in insurgency in the northern part of the country, insisting that the National Assembly could impeach the former president for the insecurity in the country.

Osinbajo, a professor of law and former Attorney General of Lagos state was at the time the running mate of General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).

“If the president says I’ve lost the capacity to guarantee the security of lives and property, it’s certainly an impeachable offence,” Osinbajo said.

Since the President Buhari and Osinbajo came to power five years ago, insecurity has reached feverish  level, the latest being the massacre of over 100 farmers in Borno state last week end by Boko Haram insurgents.

The victims’ throats were slit in a dastardly manner that signals the imprimatur of the vicious terrorists’ organization, and their bodies dumped in their farms.

Following the incident, some Nigerian said the right thing to do is for the president to take a honorable part by resigning from office, citing Osinbajo’s statement in 2015.

The issue has been trending on twitter where Nigerians are demanding the Senate and house of representatives to commence impeachment proceeding against the president.

Asokore E Daniel @darlingboy said “You cannot mock God. This is their statements against Goodluck Jonathan government. Senate should act now.

Demon $iam_noahjoseph said “why can’t the PDD lawmakers at least move for impeachment.

On his part Elvis Patriach @ABganasquare said “if the C-in-C says he’s lsot the capacity to guarantee security….it’s an impeachable offence.

Akim Reid Ado @ReidAkim said “You see? When a man talks unfoundedly, he talks himself into ridicule. Are we still wailing?

Whie Amadasun @Whiteama said “More than enough reasons for the vice president and his principal PMB to resign voluntarily. However, they will never contemplate resigning, even if 1Million Nigerians are massacred by Boko Haram and other terrorists’ groups. They just love being in power and nothing else matters,.”

Olayinka @olayinkaaji11 referring to Osinbajo comment five years ago  said “Since you know the right thing can you please resign.
