Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by Nobody: 1:10pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
The Nigerian cabinet has been ordered by the federal court to decide within 14 days if ill President Umaru Yar'Adua is fit to lead the country. The president has been in Saudi Arabia for two months, receiving treatment for a heart condition. The court ruling directed the cabinet to pass a resolution about whether he "is incapable of discharging the functions of his office". The president's absence has raised concerns about a power vacuum. The court ruled that cabinet should hear testimony from five doctors, one of whom should be the president's personal physician. If cabinet decides that the president is not fit to carry out his duties, the vice-president would take over, the court ruled. President Yar'Adua is being treated for inflammation of the lining around the heart and has a long-standing kidney complaint. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8474535.stm |

I think this stanard is applicable to the united states but i dont know if any part of our military constitution gave the cabinet powers to declare a resolution on yaradua.before any comments,can anybod check the 1999 constitution if such provision is available |
Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by Nobody: 1:36pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
The court is simply instructing the FEC to implement the necessary sections of the constitution as shown below. In a serious country the FEC would have dealt with this situation according to section 144 of the constitution. I hope Jonathan will be man enough to order a live broadcast of the FEC meeting on the day in question so that we will all know the enemies of Nigeria. That was how 3rd term was defeated . . . . the same can be done right here. 144. (1) The President or Vice-President shall cease to hold office, if - |

[size=18pt]Nigerian gov't to abide by court ruling on Yar'Adua[/size] ABUJA, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Nigeria's cabinet will abide by a federal court ruling and decide within 14 days whether ailing President Umaru Yar'Adua is fit enough to continue his presidential duties, the attorney general said on Friday. http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKLDE60L14220100122 Even though I know that Aondoakaa will be plotting his new move, his games are coming to an end. I hope he sees the handwritting on the wall. |
Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by Nobody: 2:09pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
This option has been there since and they didnt do it.what makes us think they will declare him unfit when they all have undying loyalty for yaradua |
Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by Nobody: 2:12pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
~Bluetooth: They can declare him fit if they like . . . . . but pass a resolution they must because that is what the constitution says. It will also be nice to see the likes of Aba Ruma, Dora Akunyili etc telling us on National TV that the President is fit but yet on a sick bed in Jedda with no definite return date. Mind you what ever conclusion they arrive at is subject to verification by a medical panel. They can choose to stage a charade if they like . . , . . but the process and provisions of section 144 must be respected. |

Crap! Shey una think sey na 24 be dis? The Federal Executive Council will never declare the President unfit to rule. Dem no get the liver. I don't envy the FEC members cos there will be a lot of blackmailing & arm twisting leading up to the passing of this resolution. |
Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by naijaswag1: 3:19pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
The 14 most critical days in our 10 years of democracy starts today.We can make or mar Nigeria in 14 days.Its up to the FEC to decide whether Nigeria remains Nigeria or another country. |
Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by Nobody: 3:20pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
more than anything our cynicism emboldens our leaders to perpetrate illegality. |

Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by naijaswag1: 3:26pm On Jan 22, 2010 |

The road for jonathan to become Nigerian Acting President will be clearer in 14 days! The Truth is incontrovertible, Aodoaka may deride it, FEC may surpress it, But, there it is! |
Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by Marymos: 3:33pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
The present leader leaders in both the senate and house of Representative is the worst set of leaders in the history of humanity.Nemesis will catch up with them.Just becos of their loyalty and allegiance to one man they are holding the whole country to ransome.After the revolution that is about to happen in Nigeria,we are going to chase all of them out of Nigeria. |
Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by naijaswag1: 3:34pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
tomv: The whole thing is getting hazy and bleak.14 days is a long time for anything to happen. |
Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by Pennywise(m): 3:40pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
I am not a lawyer but I find this ruling senseless and absurd. Under what constitutional premise was this ruling arrived at. Nigerians expect more from a 2mil naira/mth judge |
Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by Bisijohn: 3:44pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
I hope the Ministers have not all sworn to oath of secrecy and loyalty till death? Will they have the courage to vote against the President who nominated them? Let us wait and see how event unfolds in Nigeria. |
Re: Nigeria Cabinet Told To Rule On Sick President Yar'adua by naijaswag1: 3:45pm On Jan 22, 2010 |
Pennywise: I am not a lawyer too but this section of the constitution as quoted earlier supports this but does not provide the time frame.The courts have decided to make it an open ended issue for FEC so that we can break this political deadlock or stalemate.They should have invoked this section since if they had the interest of Nigeria at heart. 144. (1) The President or Vice-President shall cease to hold office, if - |
