The leader of South South Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, Sunday Ekanem, has warned the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) against the impeachment of Preasident Goodluck Jonathan.

Ekanem said there would be crisis in the polity if the plan orchestrated by the opposition party to impeach the President succeeds.

Ekanem who spoke to journalists at the state Secretariat of Lagos PDP said the entire Niger-Delta areas would be a no go area for APC in 2015 general elections.

Ekanem who is also a member of PDP caucus group in Lagos State stated that it was wrong to link President Jonathan with the ongoing crisis in the National Assembly and use that as a crime that would warrant his impeachment.

“The police in Nigeria are an institution and when they discovered that there was a threat to public peace, they subjected every member of the National Assembly to scrutiny on that day not knowing that the Speaker came with his thugs that day to cause mayhem,” he stated.

He said President Jonathan was the most abused president in the country despite his decision not to interfere with some key institutions in the country like Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Army, Police and others.

Ekanem further advised the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, to do the necessary thing and resign his position as the Speaker of the House.

“In America where democracy works, opposition party cannot lead the House. Therefore, it is incumbent on the Speaker since he has joined the opposition party which remains a minority in the House to quit the position as Speaker,” he stated.

He stated further that until the country is able to draw a line between politics and law, the country would continue to have problems.
