the only reason why senate can't impeach buhari is because, this government is not respecting court processes, it's autocratic and senseless to what democratic all about, Buhari will always use his puppets in the security agencies to intimidate the senators. it's very shameful Nigeria has been taken back to the military era.. no rule of law. just like he positioned Magu in EFCC to fight his enemies and has sent DSS to the National Assembly.. but we all know he will fail in 2019.

Dick tator sheep

Any ways weather left or right, truth or false. Nigeria is one country that lack the principle of rule of law. And obidient to democratic process. The senators are theives, buhari and his cabinet are thieves. If buhari has respect and trust to the senate he would have followed due procedure, so also if the senate trust buhari integrity they won't have grumbled over his decision to withdraw for something which is meant for national use.

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.”

Without following due process? What is this man saying? Smh

Imagine the nonsense somebody is saying... So all we need is receipt then everything is settled and he's a senate majority leader. .. Making laws for us... Chaiii... We are finished
Although one statement he made was right buhari can not be impeached... Not with these "set of senators".

Lol,damage control..can you dare impeach him before?
them no born una well,bunch of jokers!

Simply because dem no fit.

anibestlala:
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.

Exactly, seems Buhari apologists are quite okay and in tune with a banana republic where the constitution is not followed but rather in a trash bin smh

This country is far gone

The issue is going fowl of de law in not obtaining parliamentary approval before spending. Lack of due process. Nobody accused him of stealing the money. Nigeria will never move with this type of leaders.

OkoNDOoBo:
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

The provision of the constitution do not say the president can deep his hand on the treasury do anything, spent money on his own anytime without approaching the NASS, as long as the money is spend juducuoisly. The provision says, whenever, any money is to be spent, the NASS should be informed and approval given. It did not say, the president should just take and spend as long as the money is used without an inch trace to corrupt practices..it will not be well with Lord Lugard who place us this hollow block brain prident, hausas and apc members.

In an emergency cases the president could use his executive power . The purchase of the fighter jet from US has a time frame. If the president has to wait for the approval of the senate, the time frame might not be met , remember the budget that was passed to NA since Nov 2017 until today, nothing has been heard from the NA. Theresa May and Donald Trump just 3weeks weeks ago didn't wait for the house approval before missiles were being sent to Syria. Waiting for this senate to approve a purchase of the fighter jet might take another 2 yrs.

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

Your PVC is just one. And the PVC of those that want him is obviously higher than those that hate him like yourself. So your pain will extend to 2023. When another person whom the true patriots will again elect, if you don't like him also, you will wait for another 8 years so keep wailing

kinibigdeal:


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

You can go and confirm that from trump. Hater

You can wait i will rather go To YeMen or Syria

love2love:
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.

He will continue spending as he wish as long as the NASS continue to hold onto the 2018 budget

samsononyilo:
We know already, it is not possible..

Mohamed Gadafi of Libya, and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe also bought Aircraft from France, with the understanding that SARKOZY, WILL SUPPORT THEM, TO REMAIN IN OFFICE TILL THEY DIE. If the Senators and LAZY YOOTS of Zimbabwe and South africa can do the impossible, then the Giant of Africa can do much more, unless we want a bag of rice to cost 100,000, and to waste a whole day, under scorching sun, looking for very expensive fuel

I know it's just an empty threat. Let this people pass the budget and stop deceiving the public

Most of them do not know ECA is not recognised by constitution. So don't waste your time educating him because his mind is already made up.

I am disappointed at this guys comment, the issue is not about money missing but about spending without resort to Nass, which is a clear violation of the constitution and an impeachable offense...

Which of the Nass? The same Nass that has refused to pass the Budget close to 6months now? Your concern should have been more on the previous administration who also withdrew money from ECA for the purpose of purchasing arm only for the money to be seen in a private jet in South Africa. Uptil tomorrow, the money is still hanging in SA now.

BEFORE NKO! ABO.KI GO ALWAYS SUPPORT ABO.KI NA

jojomario:
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.

As commendable as your opinion is, why don't we just upgrade (amend) the constitution - making it smarter to alley such fears?

Or should we continue to jettison the constitution as long as we are not stealing/corrupt?

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

a president in this country in conjunction with pastor Ayo Oritsejafor took some money to South Africa in the name of buying military arms and the money was seized by South Africa govt, and lost till date and nobody talk about impeachment then. NASS are just playing to gallery. let them leave politics and face governance. 2018 is still lying on their table and we are now in May.

your d 1st person to b impeach.

this olodo senator did not even know that it was d due process that was boycotted by d president is d reason for his impeachment move

Pascal181:

No due process in any money spent in ECA. Because the law does not recognise ECA, hence one of the reasons GEJ took from the same account for the purpose of buying arms only for the money to be seen in a private jet in South Africa. Your concern should be if the money was spent on what it was meant to be spent on.
