Thus, which ever way, the impeachment of Buhari, Osinbajo and Lawan will favour the former federal lawmaker, if by any chance this becomes a reality.

But it must be said at this point that the aforesaid could just be one of Sani's jokes on Nigerian politics, even if he did not use a jocular toone or any laughing emoji to suggest such.

His tweet reads:

"If you impeach Buhari,you will have Osibanjo and if you impeach the two,then Ahmed Lawan.If you add Ahmed Lawan in the impeachment,then it will be Omo Agege."
