Following the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to get the approval of the Nationals Assembly for the withdrawal of $496m from the Excess Crude Account to purchase military aircraft, some senators have asked that the process to impeach the President be started.
Speaking during plenary which was monitored on TV, Senator Mathew Uroghide, who moved a motion urged President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, to allow the chamber to invoke Section 143 of the Constitution.
Senator Uroghide stated that the President had breached Section 80 of the Constitution which stipulates that all government’s spending must be appropriated by the legislature.
