Patrick Obahiagbon, the House of Representatives member who once described a Senate-House row as “megalomaniacal”, on Monday became the first lawmaker of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party to publicly demand an “immediate and formal” handover by President Umaru Yar’adua to the Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan.

Mr. Obahiagbon, who represents Oredo in Edo State, said the unpredictability of ill health might have stopped the president from transfering power to his deputy, Goodluck Jonathan. He, however, said if the president was healthy enough to sign the budget and conduct an interview with the BBC, he should also abide by section 145 of the constitution and allow his deputy assume full acting powers.

“What is all the judicial macossa dance about Mr. Vice President performing presidential functions and yet cannot function as an Acting president?” Mr. Obahiagbon said.

His comment is a departure from the silence which the National Assembly members have maintained on the president’s health, with the majority PDP members repeatedly turning down requests for comment on the issue.

The few members that have called for the conferment of full acting powers on Mr. Jonathan belong to the opposition parties, especially the Action Congress.

Not bothered about sanctions

The PDP, which has maintained there is no power vacuum in the presidency, last week said it will consider sanctions against members who express views different from the party’s position that all is well.

But Mr. Obahiagbon said he does not bother about party sanctions on him; saying he will be “bewildered” should the party “roll out punitive actions against its member who have spoken in favour of the constitution.”

That is ma favorite Legislative member both in the Upper and Lower House. That guy cracks me up all the time with his dapper dressing and outlandish grammar
