Buhari Appointing Osinbajo As Coordinator Is An Impeachable Offence – Adegboruwa by VillageParrot: 10:14am On May 10, 2017

A Lagos-based human rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has described President Buhari's letter to the National Assembly referring to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as "Coordinator" of the nation's affairs while he proceeds abroad for an indefinite sick leave as an impeachable offence.

According to the Adegboruwa, the National Assembly should reject the letter from the President as it has brought the nation into a serious constitutional crisis.

Adegboruwa said “A coordinator is a Person of equal status with others. So the Vee Pee cannot make appointments or sack anybody while the President is away. He cannot discipline any erring minister. He is limited in policy decisions, as a coordinator. He has no power of control over the "Cabal" to whom the president has handed over power, albeit illegally.”

“The Chief of Staff was recently reported to have moved vital documents away from Aso Villa. In effect, Nigeria has no leader presently. The existing office of Vee Pee is no more. The constitutionally created office of Acting President has been circumscribed by the President.

“The President is away on an indefinite medical trip abroad. The Senate lacks the power to pronounce Osinbajo As Acting President, without a WRITTEN RESOLUTION of BOTH CHAMBERS of the National Assembly, through a DECISION taken on the FLOOR of both chambers.

“The President cannot travel for medical check up for an indefinite period of time. The National Assembly should reject the letter from the President. There is therefore a serious constitutional crisis.

“Pro-government lawyers and activists, who have goaded the Buhari administration into dubious and reckless interpretations of the Constitution in the past, should be held responsible for the current crisis and all acts of impunity from Aso Villa.

“In all, the National Assembly should commence impeachment proceedings against the President for gross misconduct.”

Spot on..A coordinator actually doesnt possess any decision powers but only works to coordinate different component of a decision already taken by someone else ..I swear that cabal knew what they were doing when they cleverly crated that letter ..Truth be told Buhari failed to trnsmit power to Osinbanjo as required by our constitution , as coordinator Osinbanjo will clearly be reciving coordination instructions from somewhere else

Na English dey worry people wey dey find fault inside that simple letter. This Adegboruwa should better speak as a PDP person than as lawyer. If he meant this as a Lawyer, it shows that he is not a knowledgeable one. Constitution is crystal clear on this situation even if there is letter of such at all.

Re: Buhari Appointing Osinbajo As Coordinator Is An Impeachable Offence – Adegboruwa by fineboynl(m): 10:44am On May 10, 2017

firstly let look at acting president.

An acting president is a person who temporarily fills the role of an organization's or country's
president when the substantive president is unavailable (such as by illness or a vacation) or when the post is vacant (such as for death, injury, resignation, dismissal).

secondly let look at coordinating president

the process of organizing people or groups so that they work together properly and well.
or
the act of making all the people involved in a plan or activity work ...

=================

from the above context. coordinating is not like a acting president to take after the president to make orders, but coordinating the workers more like a master put his servant in charged of his work force to coordinate them.

this is unacceptable, the vp run for the election, he is part of the elected officers and not an appointee. he was elected along with buhari. and if not for osinbaja buhari wouldn't have won. why did buhari not run with a northerner?

this is a shame to the democracy of Nigeria and this matter shouldn't be swept under the rug.

I totally agree with adegboruwa.

Buhari has officially handed power to the cabap secretly while publicly declaring osinbajo as coordinator.

If anything happens to buhari, that is when we will all see the exactly what the travesty that has been done.

Why not simply write "act as president" in the letter.

It leaves room for dubious interpretation.

Nigeria has gone yo the dogs, you will now see supposedly renowned constitutional lawyers justifying the nonsense.

At the moment, I see nothing wrong with that. It may or it may not have a hidden agenda though.

What exactly is the fuss about?

From the beginning of one Nigeria, it evident the yorubas are okay to play second fidle in the Nigerian equation, but igbos have always set their target to dominate and command, perhaps, the hausa fulanis have always set their agenda to rule over all,.....so the yorubas should know that igbos do not envy them anything, rather Igbos are stunned at their cowardice in accepting to play second to those whom they are better than...

Its equally evident the yorubas are happy that at least they are second in Nigeria, but Igbos see that as shameful since yorubas are more qualified to be number 1....

The Igbo want out of one Nigerian since they can't play second to anybody, talk more of those whom they are better than...

Also, its shameful yorubas pride themselves of being second fidle and laugh at the igbos of losing out...but what can be more shameful than slaving yourself to make someone you are better than a king?

This is the reason Igbos call yorubas slave... Yorubas do the bidding of the Hausa Fulani (whom they are better than), for tthe Hausa Fulani to remember on top while yorubas remains second...

Wasting our time on a stupid issue that has nothing to do with the progress of the country.

Now i can understand why we Nigerians don't deserve good governance.
We Nigerians don't deserve democracy.

Please military era comeback.

The drama in this government is just too much.

APC had their chance to write their name in gold but they are still looking for clay to write their name, that is if they have not even forgotten how to write their name with their confused minds.

It's not an impeachable offense but it's an insult to the VP. It's a breach of trust and if truly Buhari wrote that letter and not the cabals then I am very disappointed.

Ps: This is 2017 and it time for the youths to start debating like educated people without involving tribes and religion. Most comments above are not written by mature minds but boys trapped inside the body of men.
