The Senate Majority Leader, Ahmed Lawan, says the issue of impeaching President Muhammadu Buhari has been laid to rest.

Lawan said the United States, US, President, Donald Trump’s confirmation that his country received $496m from Nigeria for fighter jets, has put the issue of impeaching Buhari to rest.

Speaking with Daily Trust, the Senator noted that impeaching the president holds no weight because “we didn’t lose money as a country.”

The lawmaker insisted that Buhari cannot be impeached for taking an “action to save Nigerians.”

According to Lawan, “I don’t know what the committee will report. I will rather guess but this committee is a representative of the senate and indeed the national assembly. So, since it has been confirmed that the money has been paid to the US treasury and President Trump has also confirmed it, I think this has laid the matter to rest.

“I’m not sure there was any serious motion for the impeachment of the President. If anybody did that, I’m sure the person misunderstood the entire process of parliamentary scrutiny

“My understanding of parliamentary scrutiny is to ensure that no public resources and money are lost. The release of $496m for the purchase of Super Tucano by the President has shown that no money was lost; more especially when the President of the US, Donald Trump, in discussion with the president said the American government is in receipt of the money. That goes further to confirm that we didn’t lose money as a country.

“So we really have not lost anything and I think this should give consolation to everybody because the fear will always be that someone took advantage and money was lost.

“How can we impeach the president for taking action to save Nigerians? It has been confirmed that the money has been paid to the US government.”

We know already, it is not possible..

God bless everyone behind the Jet project. Even if Buhari will be voted out in 2019, we don't need to see or tag him and his administration with false corruption claim.


The man has tried in his own capacity, even with less trust and media support.

Buhari has no trust in the senators and honourables. If it's true Trump acknowledged the said figure, it's a good process. Those crooks in the house will inflate the figure for their pocket sake if taken through them.

Like for Atiku,
Share for Buhari.

Don't tell us what we know already.
Impeachment motion was bore out of the fact that house of assembly feel cheated because they could not add their own money to the said amount inorder to inflate price and thereby receive kickback from the procurement ministry
The thing pain them no be small

Hmmmmm

The poster above has said my mind. He missed adding that the NASS coacroaches have all been destined for the garbage dumb come 2019.

pvc will impeach him and if pVc cant Do it i prayer Thunder do it...

$500M for fighter jet, i wonder if we are at war. Jets that won't be used to fight killer herdsmen or boko haram

It's very rare to see the president impeached in Africa.

People are moving to Canada for better life

Initial GRA-GRA


Fight for your pockets is what our leaders do, If i'm not going to benefit from it then it's not happening.
That's how they role.

Buhari our main man!
Buhari for the people!


Check out what Prof. wole Soyinka said. he just threw stone at Atiku!

Trump did not acknowledge the amount he only acknowledge that Nigeria bought Helicopters from US

Lol.
I made this arguement, and the thread went on to the 8th page. Bitter hateful people kept on blabbing and shouting constitution.

If the President can by-pass the National assembly to appropriate money, why then do we need the national assembly?

A senator talking like a fool
Paying and going to the country to confirm is the new standard now?

Even though we know its not possible, they for at least try to impeach him, it will put d fear factor in him and make him more Democratic next time

Nay!
Just imagine the state of this advanced youth.

Buhari has been known for breaking protocols, or worse, he isn't aware of protocols. Even his employees won't respect protocols. Ask IGP.

Just because the US acknowledged reception, should we now start dipping hands into ECA without the approval of NASS?

IF NOT NIGERIA'S CAPITAL CITY WILL BE MOVE TO KATSINA

That it is impossible for the House of Senate, more like 'Home of Touts', to impeach Buhari has always been obvious.

With the level of crookedness amongst the senators and the worthlessness of most of their endeavors, they should never have dreamt of that notion.

The matter is similar to the Biblical Parable of a man trying to remove a speck from the eyes of his neighbour even though he himself is bespectacled with a LOG OF TREE.

Seems there a cheap cigar buhari apologists smoke that make them turn the law upside down to defend buhari. The law says the President needs approval from the NASS to spend such amount of money and not whether the money was for a good purpose or not.

In that case the president can go on spending as he wishes without following due process provided the recipients confirm they got the money. We could as well just erase that part of the Constitution and remove all breaks.

That's none of my business. I have my PVC 2019.

House of Assembly Kwa?

Cows will always be cows,dogs will always be dogs,slaves will always be slaves,ahmed lawan,we already know u r a slave,it is because o people like u that kanye said that over 4 decades of slavery was a choice,fucking legislative northern cow.

They can't impeach him because if they dare do, he would open their file and pull a melaye and a dasuki on them... Also his brothers of the miyetti Allah congregation might decide to stop rearing cows and start rearing human beings
