Ten months before the end of his second term in office, President Muhammad Buhari is being pushed to be impeached by opposition Senators. The Senate minority leader announced on Wednesday that the opposition Senators are pushing for impeachment due to the country’s increasing security issues.
Nigerians will vote in February 2023 for a new president where security and the economy are the two main issues in the vote.
