Malami must go to jail.

That guy has supported so many illegalities and covered up so much corruption to last generations.

How that crook became AGF is beyond me.

Nigeria is a banana republic.

These idiots still don't know the game Buhari is playing, even if the Constitution gives you the right to summon the president, WHAT WILL YOU BLOODY DO WHEN HE REFUSES? Impeach him? LMAO....You don't have the votes! Go to the Judiciary? LEEMAO.....He controls the judiciary as well. This is MFking Game of Thrones....The National Assembly is Jammie Lannister, oga keep quiet when Jon Buhari Snow is talking

bolaayenimo:
What's the essence of National Assembly sef?
They asked him to sack Service Chiefs, he refused
They summoned him, he refused

Abeg help me ask them oo

Well said.

Hmmm

Mike don come again with his gibberish.

The USA he is referring to , ordinary subpoena by Democrats to Mike Pompeo, he did not appear not to talk of Bolton

Sense is far from you, does the Nigerian constitution give the NASS the power to summon pres. Buhari, yes or no?

bolaayenimo:

That's why we need a constitutional restructuring.

The president can do that because impeachment is not easy under current laws.

If we modify the laws to make impeachment as easy as just 2/3 of national assembly is required, presidents would not dare misbehave.

This constitution is not a democratic constitution.

Ozekhome is talking trash. If Buhari wants to close down the National Assembly and send them home without pay, he has the power to do it.

Ask Godwin Obaseki.

I no no the school way malami go sef...e dumb pass CJN...check my signature...let me design your logo, banner and flyer...its affordable

every lawyer culd say whatever he or she likes!the final interpretation lies with the apex court!!

Buhari is not the one in Aso Rock

Tribalism in Nigeria is season film

PMB does not posses the mental capacity to engage in an intelligent & productive question & answer session when the answers to the questions have not being written down prior to the discussion...

It is also interesting that those who were quick to point to PMB's supposed humility are the ones now justifying his arrogance...

Copying, justifying n defending negativity is ur specialty

Big fat Lie. Obasanjo couldn't do that, who is Buhari?

Read and understand before you comment ode

How can legislature, an arm of government with the powers of Section
306 to summon and to even impeach govt in Aso Rock is
suddenly not qualify to Invite the president to NASS??

bolaayenimo:
Big fat Lie. Obasanjo couldn't do that, who is Buhari?

Obasanjo is not from the part of the country that owns Nigeria.

Buhari is Ahmadu Bello's successor.

Leave me alone . I doubt if the president is still alive . If he is , I Think his appearance can only be a Mockry of himself . cos it will be a commedy .......

Hear yourself. Is pompeo the American president? Which school did you attend? If you couldn't decipher such a simple writeup, your academic certificate/qualification is questionable. Trump had always heeded the invite of his Congress members when asked to do so on key issues

Spot on Mike!

May Lugard continue to rot in hell!

The shithole is long overdue for DISINTEGRATION!

Some backward buffoons are holding this doomed

contraption down....ENOUGH OF NONSENSE!

If NASS can't summon the president, what then is the meaning of Checks and balances?

We are on a long thing in this country

Correct. Now clap for yourself..

Time to sell Nigeria on Jiji

Flexherbal:


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.



No wonder many are saying that our constitution is our problem.

Laws are made to be reviewed and amended. That is the duty of the Lawmakers. But unfortunately, we have a bunch of clueless and selfish House members.

Is now the matter has cleared the air. I don't even understand what that aboki malami was spewing. In as much as the president is from north, malami wouldn't mind telling us he knows nothing about section 88 of the constitution.

You see this Northerners, they contributes 80% of the backwardness and lopsidedness of this country with this their slavery attitudes.

backbone503:
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.

This I think affect if the President deem it fit to INITIATE seeing the NA concerning any matter!
The issue at stake here is when the NA has to INITIATE the invitation of the President to address them concerning an issue of concern.

In Nigeria, under Section 88 and 89 of the constitution, the National Assembly has oversight function on matters having to do with the well-being and security of the country”.

“If the national assembly feels that the security of the country has become so parlous and the economy has become so poor that we have entered a second recession, then they can use their powers in Section 88 and 89 because the constitution says “any public officer”. It did not mention that the president is excluded”.

The quote above show that the NA have the powers to invite the President whenever the need is expedient

Atheistan:


Oga I MAY decide to take a stroll to a court and listen to a hearing as I please, but am mandated to be at that court if am invited for questioning ..

The constitutional statement was for a casual NAS meeting, not when invited to explain matters of national interest.

The lawmakers lack powers to summon the President. However, he may attend (if he so wishes) when invited.

Nizooria.. It is finished...
