Good Job...! Malami is just another Fulani Quota system Lawyer with Pass degree in Law School after several references. A baby lawyer with questionable SAN or better still, Senior Almajiri of Najeriya... he knows next to nothing in Law just like Buhari his Boss.... How can legislature, an arm of government with the powers of Section 306 to summon and to even impeach the old Cow in Aso Rock is suddenly not qualify to Invite the president to NASS?? 245 Likes 15 Shares |

However, speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Ozekhome said the constitution in Section 88 and 89 empowers the National Assembly to compel the President as a public officer to appear before it. If not that this country is somehow, you do not even need the Constitution before you can call on your leader or representative to explain the situation of things to the citizens. Especially, when it has to do with lives and properties of the people.

Section 67 (1) of the 1999 Constitution gives the president a discretion whether to attend the National Assembly or not. It states thus: "The President MAY attend any joint meeting of the National Assembly or any meeting of either House of the National Assembly, either to deliver an address on national affairs, including fiscal measures, or to make such statement on the policy of government as he considers to be of national importance." The operative word in this provision is MAY. In law, MAY conveys discretion; unlike the word SHALL which conveys a mandatory or compulsory meaning. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

The Nigerian constitution is crude. It needs an overhaul. So many limitations, ambiguities and loopholes. It's not uncommon for laws to have more than one interpretation and I understand the concept of exceptions in law but what we have in Nigeria is just vague. It's not detailed enough to explicitly exclude or disprove some interpretations or arguments thus increasing the subjectivity in the judiciary system to an unhealthy level. Heck, some cases don't even have provisions at all. We can't continue deceiving ourselves like this. 20 Likes 3 Shares |
