“We noted at the closed session as the minority Caucus in the Senate, that the many resolutions passed on insecurity should be implemented.
“At the closed session we agreed that we must give the President an ultimatum that if he failed to comply with our resolutions on how to tackle insecurity within six weeks, we would move an impeachment proceedings against him.
“We expected the Senate President to brief the public on what we discussed at the closed session but he did not. He also ruled out our point of order to discuss it.”
However, the Senators across party lines addressed journalists and gave Buhari, six weeks to end the insecurity in the country or face impeachment.
