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.



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

They can INVITE him, but lacks the constitutional powers to SUMMON him. Note the difference.

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??
please back up your claims on Malami with proof. You claim he's an incompetent 3rd class graduate. We need document proof

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.



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

Dont be sentimental. If you know the working of the constitution, and government and the different branches of government, the executive can claim executive privileges and the principle of separation of power. Summoning the president to appear before the legislature is summoning the executive branch of government. There will be power play and the executive will have the upper hand.

By virtue of Section 67 (2) of the Constitution, the National Assembly can compel a Minister's attendance, but not the President. He has certain constitutionally enshrined protections.

Then a proper NA would have initiated an impeachment move on the president whose roof is leaking and he seem not to care!

Please I am not a constitutional scholar rather a student of jurisprudence. In the United states of America. The Congress have absolute power to subpoena anybody in the discharge of its obligations. They also have the power of arrest or sanction any one if who choice to ignore that subpoena. The only reason adjudged for not litigating both individuals you referenced was the timing will outlived its usefulness. Its important we have indept analysis of what prevailed to avoid analysis of paralysis. Thank you.

That is not even my concern; the issue is, why indicate and show a willingness to attend if you knew you wouldn't? It smacks of deceit and incompetence, both of which "Buhari" is guilty of.

Took what word out of your mouth?that the criminals purporting to summon the President, are actually the problem? Because as we both know they haven’t passed any law in 21 years that has brought any good to your life, it is always easier to blame someone else for one’s incompetence.

You mean to sack the No.1 citizen of this country and also reverse the decision of a majority of Nigerians that voted for him? That's quite a serious matter.

Anyway, Section 143 of the 1999 constitution clearly outlines the process for impeachment of the President. Good luck!

Who are you mocking? I know many igbo & yoruba lawyers that will sacrifice their family members to be honored by merit as a Senior Advocate Of Nigeria. Maybe you are ignorant to the fact that you cannot become a Senior Advocate Of Nigeria by mistake.

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.
you argue like a layman, the person you quoted made his point by giving references to the constitution and you are here spilling trash, if you can not back you point by stating where it is written in the constitution and quoting the section in thesame constitution then i must say to you, get the fuccck of this thread because what we are disscussing here is more than what you can ever fathom or comprehend, go to bed son.

Only in Nigeria one dumb ass person will say NASS ASSEMBLY doesn't have powers to summon the president, the same Nass assembly who the president goes to present his budget for approval, ministers and other appointees for screening and confirmation , they think everyone in Nigeria is as dumb as them all because they want to defend their pay masters
