The House of Representatives minority leader, Femi Gbajabiamila has said that the ‘authentic impeachment list’ of lawmakers plotting to remove President Goodluck Jonathan from office will be published ‘in due course’.

Gbajabiamila (Lagos/APC), who is the leader of opposition in the House was speaking in reaction to a purported list published in some online mediums.

The list seen by LEADERSHIP contains 201 lawmakers, many of them PDP members and some vocal Jonathan backers.

In a press statement titled, “Impeachment List: Our Stand”, Gbajabiamila tagged the list as ‘fake’ and meant to achieve ‘obvious sinister intentions’.

The statement reads in part “The general public is hereby advised to disregard a fake impeachment list published by some online publicists for obvious sinister intentions.

“None of our APC members in the House of Representatives is party to the fake impeachment list.

“The authentic impeachment list would be published in due course and we urge our constituents across the country to be so guided.”

The House resumes today after embarking on a recess since October 28.

LEADERSHIP had reported that a major fallout of the November 20 police assault on the National Assembly were heightened moves and counter moves by the camps of the House Speaker, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and that of President Jonathan to impeach each other.

For now, not fewer than 200 House members have endorsed the motion to impeach Jonathan, according to the House Minority Whip, Hon. Samson Osagie (Edo/APC).
