BREAKING: Senate Move For Buhari’s Impeachment
Senators on the floor of the upper chamber on Thursday moved a motion for the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Premium Times, the senators moved the motion because of the President’s failure to seek National Assembly’s approval before withdrawing the sum of $496 million used for the purchase of aircraft from the United States.
Section 143 of the Nigerian constitution provides for the removal of the president from office. Moving a motion on the issue, Matthew Uroghide, Edo state, said President Buhari’s move was a violation of the Constitution and thus, he should face the consequences.
He prayed the Senate to invoke Section 143 to start the impeachment process of the President.
Seconding the motion, Chukwuka Utazi spoke in support of the move.
“This is an impeachable offence,” an obviously angry Senator Utazi, said.
More senators are currently speaking on the issue as at the time of filing this report.
