The Anti-Corruption and Research Based Data Initiative ( ARDI ) has appealed to the National Assembly ( NASS ) to show understanding over President Muhammadu Buhari’s alleged purchase of $496 million aircraft from the U.S. without due process.

Mr Dennis Aghanya, Executive Secretary of ARDI, told our correspondent in Lagos on Sunday that the president, as a human being, could make mistakes.

He advised the legislators to avoid actions that would heat up the system.

“The president’s only sin is that he did not seek the approval of NASS for the release of the fund; he did not embezzle it.


“For anyone to think of impeachment process against him is not right.

“We have many problems at hand. Violation of a constitutional provision is bad but it is worse to act in an immoral manner,” Aghanya said.

The ARDI scribe said that Buhari’s regime was prosecuting a vital project – fighting corruption and insecurity – and might circumvent the provision of the constitution in some instances to succeed.

He said that guidance or correction of the executive should not be with a sledge hammer.

Aghanya claimed that the legislature had at some points also thrown caution to the wind to be able to achieve an aim.

Aghanya said: “There is no doubt that Mr President erred in his approval and release of such magnitude of fund to place order for the controversial aircraft, but I prefer to view his actions from his intention rather than the technicalities associated with the process of releasing the fund.


“He meant well and nobody can take away that fact.

“We were all witnesses in this country where funds were appropriated and released and it was completely diverted and embezzled and nobody was questioned.

“I must confess, however, that I am also happy that the National Assembly could be on top of its game by living up to its oversight function.”

According to him, the beauty of every constitutional democracy is going by the rules as guided by the constitution of the country.

Aghanaya said that all the arms of government must adhere strictly to the rules.

“We will get over it; it is a gradual process. When our democracy matures very reasonably, we will not only impeach but will also start recalling legislators that have failed to live up to expectations.

“Some governors, justices and legislators have done badly, but we are taking it calmly; that is the way it should go.

“For those appearing on national television to justify this action of Mr President, I will disagree with them.

Whatever is bad should be condemned and apologies rendered.

“That is the only way we can continue to adjust in areas we have made mistakes and consolidate where we are getting it right.”

Buhari is not the only problem we have all of them joined should be serve impeachment notice cos with the likes of saraki Nigeria can nver be a better place cos from his backyard we shall judge his heart and worthiness

How much did they pay this man to make this statement? Take what easy? Is it the first time or should it nw be standard practice to wilfully breach the constitution because one claims to be fighting corruption and insecurity?

Buhari has already heated up the polity by BODY LANGUAGELY supporting the killer herdsmen.

Buhari has failed woefully and every legitimate means to get him out of office should be considered..... He is not too big to Fall!

"He meant well and nobody can take away that fact."


You lie.

Buhari does not mean well for Nigeria. If he did, he would have confronted head-on the issue of murderous herdsmen rather than use apparatus of government to shield them.


Wonder why he was kicked out in 1985 after eroding the goodwill that ushered him to power? Same incompetence, and that is why he will be kicked out and back to Daura either by impeachment or by rejection at the ballot.

Shurup there. Is the tucano jet fighter our priority now in Nigeria that a president will just decide to spend such huge sum of money without following due process. Are we running a banana Republic? The president's action is tantamount to corruption and so it should be treat as such. Ordinary citizens would have been arrested if he or she had done something much less. When we call the president his excellency, it's expected that his actions should be excellent. If the president should make mistakes, it shouldn't be such in such a huge sum of money on less important project when there are too many problems facing the nation. In fact the national assembly shouldn't hesitation in impeaching him. The constitution is supreme over every citizen including the president. Him buhari will not waste time on another person who commit such crime, so why are you defending him. The spirit of dictatorship is still in him that's why he runs this country like a military ruler. Never again should Nigeria have a ruler that is as tyrannical like buhari . #IMPEACHBUHARINOW#

NASS are toothles Dogs. they cant bite, they can only bark from now till eternity, nothing will happen.


PMB TILL 2023.
