In a letter signed by his Special Assistant on Publicity, Dr Doyin Okupe, President Jonathan said their attention should be more focused on things like the war against terror and stabilizing the economy. Find the full text of President Jonathan's letter to the senate after the cut...
RE-PURPOTED GATHERING OF IMPEACHEABLE OFFENCES BY SOME SENATORS
The Senate in the last four years has conducted its legislative functions and responded to issues that are of great national importance with commendable political sagacity.
In this same period, the senate has functioned as a stabilizing force within the polity employing much political maturity that is required to guide and protect our nascent democracy. However, confrontation and strong disagreements are not uncommon phenomenon in Executive-Legislative relationship world-wide.
The recent purported attempt by some Senators to prepare impeachable offences against the President, as reported in some section of the Media, is seen by us in this light. We strongly trust and believe in the leadership of the present Senate and the unwavering patriotism and commitment that have been shown by the distinguished members and we trust that ultimately it is this tendency towards true Nationalism that will prevail in the Senate.
It is our view that there are at present, serious fundamental issues of National importance such as winning the war against terrorism and stabilizing the economy in the face of dwindling oil revenue which requires the full attention, commitment and swift action of distinguished members of the Senate. We are of the opinion that all matters political can and will be resolved politically in the overall interest of our democracy and the wellbeing of our people.

Dr. Doyin Okupe,
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs

As if these useless senators have ever focused on what's important before. How about you show them how to focus on what's important by doing so yourself

Your comment will be visible after approval
Yeah he is right! They should focus more on tackling the problem at hand after which they can now impeach him that's if they will even succeed #onelovefromSnow#
Lol baba do the right thing and impeachment won't come. Are the senators even better? On a second thought. all man to him self fighting for their individual pockets. No more selfless leaders in this era.
GEJ is one of the national issues that needs to be tackled. Simple
One and only Ada David Omobabalanu says so
Well said.

If its time he leaves the seat of presidency then the impeachment would work but if his time isn't up there's actually nothing that can be done then! on the other hand I think for now all hands should be on deck in tackling the insecurity issues in Nigeria..that should be our priority now. It is well. 2tim 2:1-2, psalm 127:1. BishopDammy#
Gbam! Al I kw is,ds impeachment will nva work wen God is on da throne... Jonathan will rule till 2019
~@iamjbankz SA to President Jonathan 2015~
The senators should focus on moving forward & betterment of these nation.
Their reason doesn't make sense to me...

They all need concentrate in solving national issues.
Abi now.....they should focus on nigeria issue joor...ologunifemidolapo@yahoo.com
And impeaching an incompetent leader who has overstepped his boundaries and underperformed is not national issues abi.
So mr 0kupe how define national issues?
Comedy in politics *me am just looking o* meanwhile GEJ for sure 2015
See them all pot calling kettle Black, bunch of thief's, olei's, barawo's
Na real focus on National issues. David Mark is a GEJ supporter. There is no way it will happen. Lots of loyalties there.
Just a wild dream.
And who told the president that impeaching him is not a national issue.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Okk...not my stuff!!!****Miz Ghana******

True talk..... The ish is what are you focusing on???? (•͡.̮ •͡ )
Jona shuld be ashamed of himself. Doesn't he hav conscience. Under his rule thousands of souls hav been lost n he still works abt shoulders high. He shuld evn resign witout being asked to.whether itz a plot against his govt or not,jus conscience alone 4 thousands of souls n they ones that will still go in future bombings, or else his govt does hav a hand in all dese
So GEJ is scared lol he better face reality and stop deceiving him self...
dnt mind dem...........
Your right sir
Lol, dem dey use style toast the senators. Nwatago
hahahaha,see how the members of the ruling party are trying to rape themselves.
As usual, the whole impeachment brouhaha will bite the dust when our hard earned revenue is being shared among the die hard political harlots.
Yea he is kinda right bt d senates have to look into his (GEJ) administration too as in d way he has been handlin crisis in d country.
Impeachment is really not necessary at dis crucial time
If care is not taken,what happened in January 15th 1966 will repeat itself with d way dis country is going.
Sorry Mr President, impeaching you is one of the ways forward in solving war against terrorism and improving our economy
President Goodluck Jonathan I hail o mtcheww
Is he scared or something?
Well said, Mate...buh ion get the part where the letter actually commends their their efforts in two distinct paragraphs....now c'mon, anybody wanna tell me they're worth that much!!! #just saying

Even when we hear the impeachment blablabla is false! These people are really tryna take Nollywood's job from them.
David (dave_gino)
impeachment is part of national issues nah.. atlst it worths debating on.
Pls remind them my Presido. They have forgotten.
If President Azikiwe Jonathan had focused on national issues, like electricity generation that he promised would be done within four years, like the second Niger bridge he promised within four years, like fight corruption and not define it as mere stealing, like stop crude oil theft perpetrated by his friends and brothers alike, like provide security, like solve the issue of petroleum scarcity, like not looting 1.7trillion Naira in the name of oil subsidy, like failing to remit $20billion to the Central bank, like not wasting and looting almost $75billion saved by President Obasanjo, like stop the incessant killing of innocent people by murderous terrorist in Northeastern Nigeria because the first duty of government is the protection of lives and properties, like not destroying the economy of Nigeria the way he has done, the education system, health, transportation, failure to provide jobs etc. I don’t think anybody would think of impeachment at all.
Their attention should reaIIy be more focused on war against terror and stabilizing the economy not Iast min impeachment. Trust Jona sha, he go use money buy them nd them go come up with anoda gIst. Bunch of corrupt oId peopIe
But that's the truth na. We have better issues to tackle now
Joan tell dem. #teamjoan2015#
You better seat up or else you re gone.it will shocked you when they finally impeached you.4 good years nothing to show for it.empty promise every day.worse administration ever.
The system APC is using to preach against PDP is the same way they preach against Christianity in mosques thereby creating hatred in the heart of their followers againt Christians. Please refuse this fellow nugerians. You don't have to accept to hate. If u don't like den u can say that with ur votes(ur only voice) don't allow them transfer their hatred to you. While the president is there, whoever u are Apc or pdp or whatever u are must show respect
Impeachment can't work for GEJ..His grandma's anointed him.. Senators are just wasting their time
----#AUNTYLINDAgoddaughter#
Don't mind them
yes mr president is wright.
u dey mind them....
Dey shuld remove him 4rm dat seat us is busy doing nthing! And stop dat ur big grammer! Is nt leading u any were.
DIS IS GRACE B
Yea they should focus on national issues and not impeachment. The time for it has elapsed. 2015 is just by the corner and the right candidate with the help of God and will be voted.
my president is bigger than this mere gods in their shrine. nice reply Mr President. Engr Emy
It is just nigerian politics. Their predecessors said so during OBJ but they never impeach him, the samething is happening today. They are just playing politics, saying things what they may not practicalised. mjabdulk@gmail.com
Abi
is it that Jona doesn't know that he is the no 1 terror to Nigeria???
They are in the process of acting fighting terrorism na...mstchewwwwww
GEJ sycophants and fanatics are the problem he has,we have more animals than we have humans in Nigeria. Enter the streets,take public public transport and listen to the normal Nigerian man speak,just listening to wazobia FM now,come and here people saying riches is better than good name, that it is good to steal and buy the crowd later. These are the animals we see as humans, no value for human life.
Where I fault GEJ from the very first day is the issue of subsidy. Can a sane person buy drums to fetch water from his neighbours if the borehole in his house go bad as the lasting solution?
I quite agree these things didn't start today with GEJ,it has been happening since,but using money to fund sure-p instead of signing pacts to build refineries. Now in the next four years we will be N155billion for oil subsidy yearly if GEJ is still in office.
If corruption is not checked,sorry we are going to have a country too hot for any leader to handle.
Our President is a jester. What does he know about focus? The Chibok girls had been taken for months before he focused on getting them back. CBN Governor Sanusi had a few months left in his contract before the President focused on removing him against the law. Many lives had been lost a day earlier in Nyanya before he went to Kano to focus on a political rally. Look my friend, the security issues and the bad state of economy aren't new. We wouldn't be here in the first place if the President had focused on them. Shior!

Jonathan y Dont u focus on national issues nd not 2nd term..... Wat gives us d assurance dat u will be able to conquer boko haram if u win dis coming election.....an issue u failed to overcome ..... Seriously u r suppose to resign voluntarily Bcos u failed us....
the country is in dire situation, and mr president with all due reapect do not possess the kinda qualities to rescue us from these looming catastrophe. the country needs a more pragmatic and proactive kinda leader.
Don't mind the enemies of progress. GEJ till 2019
hes right and wrong.impeachment does not ascertain peace.in ther hand,failure of performance can bring about the thought of impeachment
Good for them
yes mr president is wright on dis one dey should focus on national issue more and development.
If only Goodluck himself focused on national issues too...
GEJ on point
BONARIO's 1st Son Said.

Jonah pls focus on terorism ooo
He's part of the national issue and the greatest problem this country has now. they shouldn't stop. hes gat to get out of that seat. I'm tired of his nonchalant attitude towards everything.
Linda, I never see any of my comments o. maybe you have people that u normally post theirs
APC will not see anything good with GEJ even if he gives them his skin. And the beat goes on.
Alloy dosnt deserve dt money at all!!!! Anybody else but alloy

Impeachment is d solution to these problems GEJ don't you get it??
*rotfl jeez u cracked me up real bad
Tell dem ooo! Anti-Jonathans.
If I hear.....jonathan doesn't know he himself is a nationa.l issue? Which country have you seen the president involve with the national assembly....they should better solve this mess the president is already getting out of hand....Ski.....
Even if they reach a consensus they can't impeach him..you wan sack your Oga???
yes but he can do both.
The problem in Nigeria is not Jonathan. It is corruption in all tiers of government, be it the Governors, Commissioners, LG chairmen, legislators etc all are not doing there work well. We should not focus only on the president. benotekcomputers@gmail.com
Gbam tell him oooo
Mr President, you are a major part of National issues na
You're truly your first name without the 'h'.
I like u and ur write up a lot. No, I'm nt guy nor gay.
Dear Ms Hassan, I hereby apply to be your friend. Time and again, you's proof there's still beauty + brains out there. Most of the commenters have cottonwool between their ears.
Oga jona, impeachin u is a national issue ok oo...u guys hav never read wat government is so i dnt blame u...d leaders re bunch of science students who hav failed in dia area of expertise nd ar nw fuckin up our economy.....u guys no notin bout leadership, pls go bak 2 zoo...
Are u real, senators sacked, u shud call for a school in Jupiter b4 Glo 3G...
They don't have issues to discuss. Soon they will talk of Cement unavailability in Kano
You started it
The major national issue is to impeach GEJ, then all other things can follow
Sometimes i wonder who this president think he is?
See, he should be very grateful to this legislators yes because they have palled him for too long and its not good for democracy the stability of the nation is his duty and not the legislators. He alone appoints IG, ARMY CHIEFS and others he is the president of the country if he dosent no his duties he should resigned
They cant be sacked ... Half wit go back to school... They are elected officials
I love reading comments here but hate stupid once! What do you want him to do?
