So, another president will still wake up tomrw and pay huge amount of money to USA account because he is fight for Nigeria, mr. lawan this is impeachment offence, don't shape Buhari for this he have done wrong, there is no place in the world only the president can wake and finalize plan, not even supplementary budget was giving to Senate and u are telling me that trump confirmed the payments who approved the money, that is our concern.

abumeinben:
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?

You must be kidding!

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

Afamed:

You are here talking of supplementary budget to be sent to the Senate. The main Budget that was sent to Senate close to 6months now, what has happened to it? Abi you have forgotten 2018 budget that was sent to the senate since 2017 November, nothing has been heard of it.

veeberry:
A country where due process is not recognised. A president taking such huge fund without NASS's approval is awkward. The finance minister ought to be sanctioned.

He should tender an apology.

Obason22:
so, u forget that president was trying to favour himself through the budget, and some other issue that sorounds the budget

authority2006:


That just started today or you're being aware of the practice for the first time? Hypocrites!

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.”

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.

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

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.

ogunsj:
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.

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.
