$496m fighter jets: PDP, APC lawmakers disagree on Buhari as panel submits report Wednesday

The All Progressives Congress members in the National Assembly and their Peoples Democratic Party counterparts have disagreed on the possible effect of the report of the Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters looking into the purchase of the $496m aircraft on President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Senate had, on Thursday, mandated the committee to investigate the controversial purchase of the $496m fighter jets from the United States by the President without approval of the National Assembly.

….The APC lawmakers, who spoke with SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday, dared their PDP counterparts, saying the opposition members could not impeach Buhari even if the panel report indicts him.
