Secondly, this Communication is necessitated by the emerging incidences where Members who had initially signed the Special Motions request to withdraw their signatures before the Motions are considered by the House thereby, raising questions on whether a Member can withdraw a signature once appended on a list. Hon. Members, before revisiting the procedures relating to the impeachment processes, it is paramount that we examine the provisions in the Constitution relating to the impeachment process. The provisions relating to the removal of the President by impeachment are found in Article 145 of the Constitution, which provides as follows:- 145 (1) A member of the National Assembly, supported by at least a third of all the members, may move a motion for the impeachment of the President— (a) on the ground of a gross violation of a provision of this Constitution or of any other law; (b) where there are serious reasons for believing that the President has committed a crime under national or international law; or (c) for gross misconduct."
