I just dont get it, how in earth have we allowed our system to rotten like this. So if they do not have right to summon the president why then did the president accept to appear before the red chamber? Where has Malamu been before now and why hasn't he issue a statement prior to this moment?

Yeye dey smell

You made sense my bro.

Elvictor:


this is what happens when you are operating with a none consensus constitution, but a constitution written by greedy elects to hold on to power for their unborn generations.

if NASS can't invite a president for questioning, what right does citizens have to ask for accountability?

it a common knowledge we are not practicing democracy neither are we practicing federal system of government, everything that has to do with the system have been bastardize.

there is a question we are yet to ask, when we obtained democracy in 1999 are our leaders aware of what they agreed to? are they aware that we won't be practicing true federalism as a bargain for democracy?

was it why the effort to restructure the country to true federalism was meant with stiff opposition? who are those benefiting from this structure that leaders are not accountable and can remain in powers until death do them apart?

why is the president electing INEC officials if our votes can count contrary to our president demands?

is high time we restructured this country and bring our leaders home from Abuja, the early the better. we can't be blaming Abuja for our miseries and our grandchildren continue from where we stopped.

if the president of America was the one appointing judiciary heads would there have been any opposing elements to his demands? we have a judiciary that works for the president because they are grateful to him by appointing them, why don't we measure success with hard-work than favour?

Just imagine o.

This is our chief law officer o, all other law enforcers report to him.

This country is long dead and gone.

Well, what does one expect from an average aboki.

Nigeria is finished.

Take it or leave it.

It is you that doesn't know the power of Legislature in a democracy.

GMB apart from being the president also holds a title of Commander in Chief of Arm Forces, he is also the petroleum minister and could be summon by appropriate committee of National Assembly for briefing.

Who tells you Committee on Defense can't summon the Commender in Chief of Arm Forces?

Who told you Committee on Petroleum cannot summon the president on as Minister of Petroleums to answer some question relating to his ministry?

Yes, National Assembly has the right to invite the president, sending a relevant representative on behalf of the president to defend him would have been much more logical than this outright weakening of our institutions by the executives which should uphold and preserve them

Who are your leaders?

They were/are group of criminals working for themselves.
Sorry for you if you see your politicians as leaders.

When Nigerians realise that they have no leader, then they will enter the streets to protest and defend themselves.

Yeah! So when has it become a norm in our democratic journey that the national assembly of a country cant summon a president? Buhari is now a god that is neither answerable to the NASS or Nigerian people but being shielded away from public scrutiny at all times? So the question remains who is in Aso Rock?

Well, nothing new.A handpicked rubberstamp stooge NASS have no right to summon or impeach a lifeless president. Malami is plain stupid.Everyone under this useless government is just lawless.I guess zombies are enjoying how Buhari is treating them with impunity? Una go get sense by force

. You were making sense until u divert and started being driven by hate or partisanship. Please can you tell me the president of Nigeria who has answered a summon from national assembly please? As u said norm.. Even at boko haram peak GEJ did not appear before Nass. So where is the norm?

It's quite unfortunate this Buhari is not ashamed of himself. A 21st century leader that cannot engage people in 5mins meaningful conversation. The fact is you can't give what you don't have. He has nothing to offer this country. The best thing is either to restructure this country or each region to go their separate ways. A great mistake was made voting this man into power.

I am happy about this. The NASS should have thought very carefully before swearing allegiance to their god Buhari

This is coming from the same Presidency that has publicly agreed that the Buhari will come to school (National Assembly) on thursday. He must not resume late to the National Assembly

I don't think you know the meaning of that phrase or when, where and how it's used.

You are the one that doesn't know what doctrine of necessarily mean. National Assembly don't need constitution to invoke doctrine of necessity'. And the issue of insecurity which have left mullions of Nigerian displaced and maimed is enough ground to invoke doctrine of necessity by inviting the president even if the constitution have not given Nass power summon the president.

Again, there are so many condition that gives Nass power to summon the president such as in area of appropriation, health issue and security

Below is the definition of Doctrine of Necessity
The doctrine of necessity is a term used to describe the basis on which extraordinary actions by administrative authority, which are designed to restore order or uphold fundamental constitutional principles, are found to be constitutional even if such an action would normally be deemed to be in contravention to established norms or conventions. It also includes the ability of a private person to violate a law without punishment where the violation of law was necessary to prevent even worse harm. The maxim on which the doctrine is based originated in the writings of the medieval jurist Henry de Bracton, and similar justifications for this kind of extra-legal action have been advanced by more recent legal authorities, including William Blackstone.

Voting for Buhari in 2015 was a mistake but but rigging him into power again in 2019 was nothing but STUPIDITY on the part of Nigerians. After four years Nigerian had seen that he has nothing to offer, but they foolishly rigged to power again.

How do you expect the people to be protected when the attorney general of the federation is saying the house of assembly cants sermon the president?? How do we bring this people to book when the judiciary is asslicking the presidency and the house of assembly don’t even know their rights,, this people be running Nigeria like the presidency is the king of us all, it’s democracy for crazy out loud.. stop giving too much respect to this people they don’t deserve it one bit...... this country as a long way to go I’m sorry

This flag is the flag of the Nigerian armed forces and only on person in Nigeria is allowed to display this flag and it's for a reason and the one and only reason is because he's the commander in chief of the armed forces.

The legislature can not command the presidency to appear or discuss security issues and operational matters of the Nigerian armed forces.

This is not applicable when it comes to the 3 branches of government and the only remedy in the arsenal of the legislature to do anything to the president is impeachment.

What you should have done is show us the relevant section in the Nigerian constitution that says the legislature can apply whatever doctrine you arr talking about against the president.

You are misapplying and misusing that phrase.

This country na wao!! This country na wao!!......

The truth is that it's highly likely that Baba has dementia, which is very dangerous for someone in a decision-making position to have.

Hiding it is not in the best interest of the nation. The most honorable thing is for him to resign and let another person take over. But that's not possible in Nigeria politics.

The people around him are making the decisions, and he is taking the blame for their actions and inactions. It's a pity!

Where is that thing call sarki

In his words; "National Assembly has no constitutional power to envisage or contemplate a situation where the president would be summoned by the national assembly on operational use of the armed forces”.

The power of Legislature goes beyond constitution in a democracy, that is why it is only the legislature that can invoke doctrine of necessity' which covers any areas that is not binding by the constitution.

When you talk about power of executives you refer to constitution., when you talk of power of judiciary you refer to constitution but when you talk about power of legislature, you refer to the people

These people are taking our democracy for granted. Who is the president that he cannot answer a simple summon
