Treasure17:
President Tinubu and the vice president have contravened the constitution governing this country and as such should be sanctioned and suspended from the office respectively.

Electorate:
Is it not a rascality that Vice President Shettima depart the country when he is fully aware the President is not around to discharge his duty? Does he even respect respect the constitution?

Does Vice President Shettima think the job of the Presidency is a Work-From-Home or Virtual Assistant job?

Electorate:
President Tinubu departed for the United Kingdom on October 2, 2024, for a two-week working leave. He later left the UK for France on Friday, October 11, for “another important engagement,” his Senior Special Assistant on Political and Other Matters, Ibrahim Masari, tweeted.

Meanwhile, Vice President Shettima left Abuja on Wednesday for Sweden on a two-day visit to represent Nigeria in bilateral engagements with the Scandinavian nation.

This marks the second time both officers have been concurrently absent from the country since assuming office 17 months ago.

Between late April and early May 2024, while Tinubu was in London, after visiting the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia, where he attended the World Economic Forum, Shettima left Nigeria, first to Nairobi to attend the International Development Association Heads of State Summit.

What does the constitution say:

Section 145 (1) and (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended),which will subsequently be referred to as ‘the Constitution’, cited by him in aid of his defense of his principal.

145 (1) ‘’Whenever the President is proceeding on vacation or is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his Office , he shall transmit a written declaration to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives to that effect, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, the Vice-President shall perform the functions of the President as Acting President.’’

Take note of this: According to the Cambridge English Dictionary, whenever means ‘’every or any time’’. The same dictionary also defines vacation as ‘’a time when someone does not go to work or school but is free to do what they want, such as travel or relax’’.

Simply put, If the President want to leave Nigeria (his home) for another country, he must hand over to his Vice to take charge of his home until he returns. HE DOESN'T HAVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS TO GIVE ORDERS FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY REASON HE HAS TO HAND OVER TO HIS VICE, THERE WONT BE ANY NEED TO HAND OVER TO HIS VICE IF THE CONSTITUTION SAYS HE CAN RULE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY. Similarly, Neither the President or his Vice can give orders wether virtually or otherwise from outside the country as Bayo Onanuga mischievously said in defense of the Presidency.

Here is the key word " unable to discharge his duty". Travelling out of the country doesn't mean he's "unable" to discharge his duty. Unable means being sick or incapacitated. It doesn't mean travelling out.

Electorate:
Then what is the essence of HANDLING OVER to his Vice BEFORE traveling OUT of the country in GOOD HEALTH as the CONSTITUTION pointed out?

English though not our mother tongue shouldn't be this difficult since it is a language taught in school from childhood...STOP DEFENDING RUBBISH, IT IS MORALLY BAD.

Enice:
Oga! I'm not defending rubbish! No one is talking about Tinubu being on vacation! You guys are the one making a mountain out of a mole hill. You don't have any proof to show if Tinubu handed over or not. The issue has been if the constitution allows both the vice president and president to be out of the country at the same time! What I'm saying is that yes, it allows them so long as one of them is active officially.

Electorate:
Show us where in the constitution both the President and his Vice are allowed to leave the country same time or shut up.
