02/05/2014

The Social Movement for Change has resolved and voted no confidence in the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan and therefore, order him (Goodluck Jonathan) to as a matter of now, vacate his seat to give room for more confident and credible hands to pilot the affairs of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Oath of Office for the President of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria:

Nigeria Constitution, Sections 26(1)(c), 27(2)(f), 52, 94, 135, 140, 142, 149, 180, 185, 187, 194, and 290.

“Before he enter on the execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: – "I do solemnly swear/affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will discharge my duties to the best of my ability, faithfully and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the law, and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will strive to preserve the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions; that I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will abide by the Code of Conduct contained in the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will; that I will not directly or indirectly communication or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as President; and that I will devote myself to the service and well-being of the people of Nigeria. So help me God."


On May 29, 2011, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, willingly, and without reservation swore the oath of office, not once, but twice, after the first oath he took over the death of former President, late Umar Musa Yer'adua;
Since taking the Oath of Office, numerous and frequent transgressions to this oath have been committed by the oath taker in his capacity as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria;
These transgressions, both in volume and severity, constitute High Crimes and Misdemeanors committed by the oath taker;

Therefore, the Social Movement For Change (SMC), demand the immediate resignation of the oath taker, and his appointees;
Absent proper and immediate resignations, the Revolutionary Movement demand that the National Assembly begin immediate and expedited procedures to strike Articles of Impeachment upon the oath taker for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Definition of High Crimes and Misdemeanors: “High” in the legal parlance of the 18th century means “against the State”. A high crime is one which seeks the overthrow of the country, which gives aid or comfort to its enemies, or which injures the country to the profit of an individual or group. In democracies and similar societies, it also includes crimes which attempt to alter the outcome of elections.

NO CONFIDENCE – WE DEMAND RESIGNATION OF THE PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

We the undersigned, without malice, and with full understanding and clear volition, have no confidence in the present regime and do demand the resignation of Nigeria's President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, his appointees, and his administration forthwith. Should he not resign his office forthwith, we the undersigned demand that the House and Senate Judiciary Committees begin immediate investigation of Mr. Jonathan including all actions and activities constituting High Crimes and Misdemeanors. In addition, we do demand that the National Assembly strike Articles of Impeachment against Mr. Jonathan on or before June 1, 2014.
