to journalists said the lower chambers does not have a single evidence
of impeachable offence against the nation’s number one citizen.Doguwa who represents Doguwa/Tudun Wada federal constituency of Kano said such an issue was never perceived in the House of Representatives.

“If there is any insinuation or speculation about the impeachment of Mr President in any chamber rather than the House of Representatives, that, I don’t know.
“But I want to be very straight forward to you that we don’t have such a consideration before us; that matter is not even being contemplated; it was not even at any point in time thought of,” he said..
“After all, we do not have any evidence of impeachable offence with which to use against Mr President.”
