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!
of course, that is why there is check and balances in democracy. The president isn't all powerful. At any point if the the NA has reason to pass a vote of no confidence on the president subject to section 143 of the 1999 constitution, then an impeachment move will be instituted against him. However, where the leadership of the NA is installed by the presidency, nothing like that will take place

If they can pass a bill that will provide the framework for constant electricity then they have the power to, but unfortunately, they don’t, so no summon.

The contradictions are my issue with it, Thailand has changed their constitution numerous times and even the worst of theirs is better than ours.

We all know that Buhari and his 40 thieves are only operating the fulani Usman Dan fodio constitution and not the Nigerian constitution that he falsely swore to up hold.

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.
Who makes the first move when a president is perceived to be invalid and not able to perform his duties. Is it the invalid president or the national assembly?

The answer you give will show if the NA has powers of oversight over the President or not.

Don't blame them.

Blame the moronic masses that they let this go on while their lives and well-being are being sacrificed on the altar of political expediency.

Nigeria can never be well until their is a mass free for all at the National Assembly--people run over there and beat them to stupor. Make Nigerian politicians watch their backs and see things change positively overnight.

In a normal democratic framework the power is ultimately resident with the people.The people elected him into power and entrusted him with the common wealth.Aside from the present rubber stamp Senate we have they are a direct representative of the people.The call by NASS is deemed to be a call by the very people who gave Buhari that power.

Justifying his refusal to honour that call is a clear indicator of an enthronement from democratic setting to military setting

oga ur opinion is absolutely wrong with those watery examples that lack factual strength

Our constitution is too boring, complex and lack comprehension for crying out loud, in south african for instance the constitution is very clear in regards to such issues, it stated that the house can compel the president or put an invitation to the president in regards to national security. That was why julius melama the leader of the minority leader raise a motion asking the house to compel the president to attain their next sitting concerning the homophobic issues. The house agreed on that and he was not only invited but was compel to attain the next sitting which he did. In the US the constitution stated that the president can only be compel to attain a sitting when there is a treat to national security. But in nigeria it is written that the president [may] attend when invited, the word "may, is the contending word here, which means he can not be compel but can only be invited which also means he can decline an invitation by the house due to what is known as separation of power.

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??

Have you heard of the term 'rubber stamp'? He's right if you think deeply.

Correct! They are all quota lawyers up there. Half-baked lawyers. They know sharia law in and out but when it comes to civil law na trial and error to see which stone hits home.

Did you not see the one they sent from arewa to represent nigeria at ICJ and was turned down, judges wondered how he was ever admitted to practito law in the zoo. He was a SAN for that matter grin

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.

My dear, forget the law; the person involved is the problem. Even if the Constitution says that Buhari must appear before a joint section of the national assembly to address Nigerians every month, Buhari will flout it. Guess what, nothing will happen.

Just pray for God's blessings and forget about what the so-called leaders do. In a sane country, Buhari would have been impeached (removed from office) a long time ago. However, ours is far from sane.
