A former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (rtd) yesterday said it is too early for Nigeria to start impeaching democratically elected presidents.

Gowon stated this at a time the Senate was considering a motion to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari over the purchase of Tucano aircraft at a cost of $496 million without legislative approval.

Addressing the Northern Leaders and Stakeholdersโ€™ Assembly in his office in Abuja, Gowon said there was need for unity in the North and across the entire country.

โ€œIt will be too early in the day to start impeaching presidents in Nigeria; otherwise, there will be no president that will not get impeached because of these interest groups.

โ€œWe need to come together as a people – Arewa Consultative Forum, Northern Elders Forum and this forum – the three must come together or else, we will end up dividing our interests thereby polarising the North.

โ€œSo it is a question of unity of the people in the North which is very importantรฝ. The interest of the North is the interest of the nation,โ€ he said.

Chairman of the assembly and former political adviser to Shehu Shagari, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai said the assembly has constituted sub-committees on Northern unity, elections, security and restructuring and would study the reports for necessary action.
