Trump Reacts On Twitter To His Impeachment By The House Of Representatives
Trump has taken to his Twitter account to react to the news of his impeachment by the House of Representatives.
The US House of Representatives, on Wednesday, had voted largely to impeach President Trump’s abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in relating to dealings with Ukraine.
Two articles of impeachment were passed over his attitude in the Ukraine scandal.
The issue will now be transferred to the Senate, where it will be determined whether to convict and remove the president from office come January 2020.
Donald Trump reacted via his Twitter account with the inscription “IN REALITY, THEY’RE NOT AFTER ME THEY’RE AFTER YOU, I’M JUST IN THE WAY’
However, the president has denied any wrongdoings; he was present at a Michigan rally earlier as the Representatives voted on his impeachment. Trump said, “They’ve been trying to impeach me from day one”
“After three years of sinister witch hunts, scams, hoaxes, tonight, House Democrats are trying to nullify the ballots of tens of millions of patriotic Americans”
Trump will now be the third sitting US president to be impeached after Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson.
The Bayelsa Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has been reportedly destroyed and set ablaze by aggrieved thugs protesting the annulment of the election of APC candidate, David Lyon by the Supreme Court.
The protest started at Tombia roundabout and was rounded off at the INEC office in Bayelsa State. Therefore, this led to the vandalization of PDP properties. However, the protest was stopped by the combined efforts of the joint military and the police patrol
Also, other properties destroyed include, four security post of the state high court, billboards with the photos of Duoye Diri were vandalized, and a section of the PDP secretariat was also destroyed by fire.
So, Here is the video;
David Lyon in his reaction to the annulment of his election and the crowning of Duoye Diri as the governor-elect said the judgment was procured.
This he said while addressing a press conference in Bayelsa State this morning. Lyon said the judgment was a “procured judgment”. He has, therefore, pleaded with his supporters to remain calm and maintain law and order.
Preye Oseke, who represented the sacked governor-elect, David Lyon said;
“We are in shock. We as a party and as people of Bayelsa are rejecting the judgment completely. It is a procured judgment. While we have our respect for the revered justices, we believe that this is not the wish of Bayelsans. Again, we are calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission not to issue a certificate of return to the candidate of the PDP because he was unable to score the required 25 percent in two-thirds of the local government areas.
As a party, we are law-abiding; our properties have been destroyed even amid the judgment that came this morning. We are calling on all our supporters to remain calm while our leaders and stakeholders meet and come up with the next line of action. We believe the right thing will be done. The rule of law will be upheld.” he declared
The PDP candidate, Douye Diri has been declared the winner of the Bayelsa Governorship elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
So, the Chairman of the commission made this announcement at the INEC headquarters in Abuja. Also, he said the certificate of return will be given immediately to the winner, Douye Diri.
Recall that the Supreme Court yesterday annulled the election of David Lyon of the APC on the ground that his running mate submitted forged certificates to INEC.
So, here is another photo of Douye Diri at the INEC office to receive the certificate of return.
