According to report, the Senate will serve Jonathan the impeachment notice on December 16, 2014 when the apex house resumes from recess.
However, the Presidency released a statement on the issue through his Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs,Doyin Okupe.
The statement reads:
"The Senate in the last four years has conducted its legislative functions and responded to issues that are of great national importance with commendable political sagacity."
"In this same period, the senate has functioned as a stabilising force within the polity employing much political maturity that is required to guide and protect our nascent democracy."
"However, confrontation and strong disagreements are not uncommon phenomenon in Executive-Legislative relationship world-wide."
"The recent purported attempt by some Senators to prepare impeachable offences against the President, as reported in some section of the Media, is seen by us in this light."
"We strongly trust and believe in the leadership of the present Senate and the unwavering patriotism and commitment that have been shown by the distinguished members and we trust that ultimately it is this tendency towards true nationalism that will prevail in the Senate."
"It is our view that there are at present, serious fundamental issues of national importance such as winning the war against terrorism and stabilising the economy in the face of dwindling oil revenue which requires the full attention, commitment and swift action of distinguished members of the Senate."
"We are of the opinion that all matters will be resolved politically in the overall interest of our democracy and the well-being of our people."
