Constitutional Provisions For President To Be Removed On Health Ground. by Ken4Christ: 9:31am On Feb 14, 2017
Section 144.— Permanent incapacity of president or vice president

(1) The President or Vice-President shall cease to hold office if—

(a) by a resolution passed by two-thirds majority of all the members of the executive council of the Federation it is declared that the President or Vice- President is incapable of discharging the functions of his office ; and

(b) the declaration is verified, after such medical examination as may be necessary, by a medical panel established under subsection (4) of this section in its report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

(2) Where the medical panel certifies in the report that in its opinion the President or Vice-President is suffering from such infirmity of body or mind as renders him permanently incapable of discharging the functions of his office, a notice thereof signed by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall be published in the Gazette of the Government of the Federation.

(3) The President or Vice-President shall cease to hold office as from the date of publication of the notice of the medical report pursuant to subsection (2) of this section.

(4) The medical panel to which this section relates shall be appointed by the President of the Senate, and shall comprise five medical practitioners in Nigeria—

(a) one of whom shall be personal physician of the holder of the office concerned ; and

(b) four other medical practitioners who have, in the opinion of the President of the Senate, attained a high degree of eminence in the field of medicine relative to the nature of the examination to be conducted in accordance with the foregoing provisions.


It is therefore unconstitutional for a medical doctor abroad to be the one to determine the fitness of our President.

The Senate has the power to set up a medical panel to investigate the exact condition of his health. This is what we should insist on. But we also do know we that our lawmakers are corrupt. Even the opposition party has been turn into a toothless dog.

There's a hunch going round that Mr. President is on chemotherapy hence is prolonged absense from his duty. It is well!
