Meet The Senators Who First Moved For President Buhari’s Impeachment (Photos)

Pressure is being mounted on President Muhammadu Buhari to dismount the horse for circumventing the appropriation laws in Nigeria.

The Senate, yesterday, April 26, 2018, failed to initiate the impeachment process of Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari following the ‘unapproved’ expenditure of N151, 394, 494, 335. 00 (151 Billion Naira) on the purchase of a Super Tucano Fighter Jet from the US.
