Members of the House of Representatives did not mince words on Tuesday when they said President Muhammadu Buhari committed an “impeachable offence” by authorising the purchase of $462million jets for the military without appropriation by the National Assembly.

Buhari is buying 12 Tucano aircraft from the US with the money.

The planes will be delivered in 2020.

The lawmakers became angry as soon as the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, read a letter from Buhari, informing the House that the expenditure was done in “anticipation of approval” by the National Assembly.

They noted that the letter was a “mere afterthought”, as the expenditure had been done already.

The anger caused a brief rowdiness on the floor, forcing Dogara to intervene in a bid to calm down the lawmakers.

The eventual decision on Tuesday was that the letter should be properly tabled for debate on another date by the House so that it would take a position on the next line of action.

But, before the resolution, it was the Chairman, House Committee on Public Accounts, Mr. Kingsley Chinda, who raised a point of order to draw the attention of members to the alleged “constitutional breach” by Buhari.

He said both the 1999 Constitution and other laws in the country did not recognise spending by the President in “anticipation of approval” by the legislature.

Chinda stated, “This matter ($462m) came up last week. Today, Mr. President has admitted that the expenditure has already been incurred.

“We are supposed to be a watchdog, but as it is, we cannot bite. This is an impeachable offence and there is no misconduct that is more serious than this.

“I propose that we commence the impeachment of Mr. President, based on this infraction.”

Buhari had already know that there is no way for him again in 2019, so he is syphoning all possible money to foreign banks in advance...

Impeach am na, una still dey tell am. Toothless bulldog them

You cannot run government the way run your ozza room.

His action is an impeachable offense that should be brought to book by the law.

It has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's APC or PDP.

He miscalculated and ought to be punished by the law.

I don't feel good to see an elderly person standing on a bus while am seated it doesn't look good to me,so I just close my eyes and sleep
Öperation Buhari must go"

Impeach him straight away and tell us after... What nonsense...

Bubu The President !!!!

I wonder how stupiiid we southerners are that we never realised that this Evil man was busy preparing for Civil war and also preparing for counter attack incase the southerners rise up against them
If not why should a poor country like Nigeria with aloft of Hungry and unemployed citizens should spend such amount of money in buying weapons? Or are we fighting against Russia, or even trying to to strike Syria

Naija melodrama.

Impeach him asap! If he refuses to appear, bring in a cow to represent him in the proceedings

Negotiate with him and let him exit like Mugabe

Time to send the tyrant back next to his cows...

They should simply refused to grant approval for the release of the funds to teach him a lesson since they won't impeach the fool. I want to see him go to the US to tell them that the funds was denied approval. #BringBackOurMoney
