What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The planned impeachment motion against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will proceed after the High Court declined to issue orders blocking its tabling in Parliament.

The ruling came in the wake of multiple petitions filed by former UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala, Caroline Wambui and Sheria Mtaani, a lobby group.

The petitions aimed at halting Gachagua’s impeachment focus on claims of violation of the Constitution with the petitioners arguing that the process lacked necessary public participation.

The petitioners also contend that the National Assembly and the Senate had failed to meet the constitutional requirement of a two-thirds gender representation, further undermining the legitimacy of the House and the planned impeachment motion.
