The lawmakers had recently called on Nigerians to prevail on the National Assembly to begin impeachment process against the president following the killing of rice farmers in Borno state by Boko Haram. 

Meanwhile, Benjamin Kalu, the Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Publicity had dismissed the call describing it as an unpopular opinion of Kingsley Chinda, the leader of the group. 

But on Thursday, December 17, 2020, Chinda at a press conference in Abuja restated the call for Buhari’s impeachment. 

According to Punch, Chinda was accompanied by other PDP members in the House.
