Buhari’s Letter To Senate Names Osinbajo ‘coordinator’ Of Nation’s Affairs, by engineerboat(m): 1:50pm On May 09, 2017 |
Buhari’s Letter to Senate Names Osinbajo ‘Coordinator’ of Nation’s Affairs, Not Acting President President Muhammadu Buhari says Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will “coordinate” the nation’s affairs while he is abroad for medical treatment, Premium Times reports. A letter sent by the president to the Senate, notifying lawmakers of his trip, however raised questions Tuesday about Mr. Osinbajo’s powers after President Buhari failed to address him as “acting president”. President Buhari left Nigeria Sunday night, shortly after receiving 82 Chibok girls who regained freedom after three years in Boko Haram captivity. Since coming to power in May 2015, it is the fourth time Mr. Osinbajo will be acting on behalf of the president. Buhari has won praise for promptly handing over power before embarking on each trip. This time, the president said the duration of his stay in the United Kingdom would be determined by his doctors. But his latest correspondence to the Senate, read by the Senate president, Bukola Saraki, was questioned by a Senator who argued that Mr. Osinbajo should have been designated “acting president”. Mao Ohabunwa, a Peoples Democratic Party senator, representing Abia North, said it was not proper to name the vice president “coordinator” of the nation’s affairs. He was however ruled out of order by Mr. Saraki, after the Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan, defended Mr. Buhari, citing Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution. That section says, “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.” http://www.signalng.com/buharis-letter-senate-names-osinbajo-coordinator-nations-affairs-not-acting-president/ 1 Like

Mao Ohabunwa should devote more time to study the constitution rather than playing politics in Abia Mao should show us the last letter sent to the Senate when the president traveled the last time |

What the letter call it is immaterial. Our constitution has no provision for the word "coordinator". Meanwhile it is only president or acting president that has power to coordinate the nation's affair. |

if true, president buhari is trying the power of God, in other words, the constitution 2010 as amended is clear on that, whether president or governor stayed out of state of country after 21 days his vice or deputy authomatic take over as acting president or governor. |
