Senate earlier noted that the National Assembly did not and I repeat with emphasis DID NOT approve the purchase of new presidential jet and if that's true, then the action of the FG runs contrary to the provisions of our construction. The 1999 Constitution (as amended) provide for legislative oversight and approval of certain executive actions, including:
1. Section 80 (1-4): Appropriation and authorization of expenditure
2. Section 82: Authorization of withdrawal from the Consolidated Revenue Fund
3. Section 148 (1-2): National Assembly's power to approve certain executive actions.
Going by the above provisions, it's clear that it's a serious offence that could illicit impeachment process, regrettably what we've is "rubber stamp senators. "
