Some Nigerian senators led by Matthew Uroghide have today called for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari for not seeking National Assembly approval before the withdrawal of the $496 million used for the purchase of aircraft from the United States.
According to reports, Senator Uroghide representing Edo state, moved the motion, claiming that President Buhari’s move was a violation of the Constitution and that he should face the consequences.
Sen. Uroghide urged the Senate to invoke Section 143 to start the impeachment process against the President.
Seconding the motion, Chukwuka Utazi spoke in support of the move.
“This is an impeachable offence,” an obviously angry Mr Utazi, said.
