Senators Call For President Buhari's Impeachment.
Nigerian Senate this morning reportedly moved a motion for the impeachment of president Buhari. According to premium Times, the senators moved the motion because the president did not seek the National Assembly's approval before the withdrawal of the $496 million used for the purchase of aircraft from the United States.
Section 143 of the Nigerian constitution provides for the removal of the president from office.
Senator Matthew Uroghide who moved the motion for the impeachment, said president Buhari's move was a violation of the constitution and thus, he should face the consequences. He prayed the Senate to invoke section 143 to start the impeachment process of the president.
Seconding the motion, senator Chukwuka Utazi spoke in support of the move. "This is an impeachable offence, " an obviously angry senator Utazi,said.
