However, a Federal Lawmaker, Senator Ayogu Eze told Channels Television that there are no plans to impeach President Jonathan.

Another member if the House of Representatives, Mr Peter Gumtha, had told Channels Television on Monday that lawmakers of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would not be a party to any impeachment plan.
