President Buhari Goes On Leave Invokes The Constitution by giftedben: 11:29am On Feb 07, 2016 |
Mr. President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR As you say you are being guided by section 145 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 which states that: “whenever the president transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office, until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary such functions shall be discharged by the Vice President as acting President”. Mr. President has given only a few days of absence from today Friday 5th Feb to Wednesday 10th Feb 2016 and when you exclude weekend effectively being away for two days following the Interpretation Act. Two days off Sir is not enough to issue this declaration. What am I getting at? The instrument to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives ought not to bear any “end date” but a “start date” only. You may please write to allow the Vice President to act as President until such a time you are fit to resume work, to preside over Africa’s most populous nation. Assuming arguendo by Wednesday 10th Feb you still feel unable to proceed with work by reason of health issues or age are you going to seek extension? With Nigerians like el rufai and Tambuwal nursing unbridled ambitions already positioning for what I don’t know, same Northern Brothers of 2010 - 2015 on Nigeria’s political plane. You may rethink it and amend your letter to NASS appropriately, please Concerned Citizen C A |
