The Guardian Newspaper’s Immature Editorial, By Garba Shehu
The newspaper editors clearly do not like the way the President is running the country and therefore they believe he should be impeached. They debase both the political discourse of our nation and public understanding of the law and constitution by doing so. It’s a not a process undertaken against a leader whose politics you do not agree with, or who you personally dislike. For the benefit of the ones who have forgotten, the Guardian newspaper has in the past, been worshipped as the flagship of the nation’s press; the one that had won every “Newspaper of the Year” awards.
