Days after lawmakers threatened to impeach him, President
Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday met face-to-face with Senate President Bukola
Saraki and House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara.
The trio met at the wedding reception of the
daughter of Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, held
inside the Banquet Hall of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
This was their first meeting after some
members of the National Assembly threatened to impeach Buhari over the
withdrawal of $496 million from the Excess Crude Account for the purchase of
fighter jets.
The lawmakers had last week moved that the
process to impeach the president be commenced for authorising the purchase of
the military aircraft from the United States without appropriation by the
legislature.
Also at Saturday's event were the National
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Odigie-Oyegun; a national
leader of the party, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu as well as the governors of
Adamawa, Kaduna and Ogun States, among others.
