He should've stated he was going for medical trip instead of lying about taking a vacation. He should get well soon, return and then resign and enjoy the rest of his old age at home

AntiWailer:
It is common sense to know that there is no Vacuum.

There is an acting President and is name is Osinbajo.

Buhari has done the right thing unlike PDP during Yaradua's saga.

He wrote to the house and transferred power officially to his VP.

Anybody can be sick. It is not a big deal.

2dugged:
Wind go soon blow, they hid yaradua's death for months, even buried him somewhere and couldn't hide it forever, we are watching as this plays out, by the way where are those buhari trekkers? this would be a perfect time to trek to London on behalf of Nigerians

Laveda:


Morning dear, I did, Thank God. I'm sure you did too.

Buhari's trekkers are now Buhari's cryers.

Tifemide2017:
God bless PMB.

God knows he truly loves Nigeria, if he doesn't, he would have preferred the Yar'adua style thereby plunging the country into an avoidable leadership crisis.


Get well soon PMB.

2dugged:
all I know is this mystery shrouding the president 's health will not be hidden forever, they want to pull another yaradua stunt, but the fact is they can't hide it forever, we all know it was not yaradua's corpse that arrived this country for burial, let them continue, my own concern is if for the acting president and our legislooters to be vigilant, this meetings upon meetings from the north is fishy

akpamuomenka:
Even if Buhari returns, he's unfit to lead b'cos of his health and if he insists on leading, sooner than expected he'll travel again for medical treatment then the Zombies will know how far. They told us that he was going for vacation now they are telling us that he have not completed his medical tests bla bla bla.

greatgod2012:
Well, what is paining me personally is the fact that he's in a foreign land treating himself, spending Nigeria money in abroad when he could have stayed back in the country and make use of the nation's health services since he's the one who said Nigerians shouldn't patronize any foreign goods or services. Why can't he do or carry out what he's asking other Nigerians to do? What is wrong with equipping our hospitals with necessary facilities that will meet up with what he has gone abroad to patronize.
If he can't patronize Nigeria goods or services, why is he forcing other Nigerians to do same, isn't that hypocrisy? And to say that he and his cabinet members do not see anything wrong with their hypocritical attitude tells a lot about the type of leaders they are.

Government of "do as I say, do not do as I do"
Government of so so talk, opposite action.
Government of deceit.
Government of hypocrisy!
Government of suffering and hardship!

Handsomecole:
As far as I am concerned our President is hale and hearty, he will not only return but return hale, healthy and hearty and most importantly "wiser".
There exists no Lacuna in the government we have an Acting President who is not only capable but reliable, so can we just concentrate on the real issues of governance most especially tackling this hunger and these prices of commodities that want to reach the heavens by all means.

Let's not let this Buhari's absence or extension divert our attention from the nations problems.

blackfase:
Technically theres a vacuum. Osinbade cant do jack cos his hands are tied. He cant effect any real changes like a functional President can do. Infact, right now, Kyari and Babachir are the ones ruling. Hes still a dummy President as far as we know.

Nothing has changed.....

agabusta:
Kyari and Babachir cannot give a presidential approval on any issue. They cannot approve requests from Ministers. They cannot write to the National Assembly on any issue.

They cannot give the CBN governor any directive, neither can they give the NNPC nor the service chiefs.

They are the real dummies. The approval of Osibanjo including his signature is tantamount to a presidential seal.

Two Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) Yusuf Alli and Sebastine Hon yesterday said President Muhammadu Buhari complied with the Constitution by notifying the National Assembly of the extension of his vacation for health reasons.

They said since he handed over to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who will continue to act as President, there was no vacuum, which the Constitution abhors.

Alli said: “We should all just be praying for his recovery. May God shield him so that he can get back to his duty-post.

“He has transmitted a letter to the National Assembly. That’s what the Constitution says he should do. And he has done that.”

On Buhari not stating when he will return, Alli said: “What is important is that he has transmitted a letter saying that he would be away.

“This means by extension that the Acting President continues in office, so there is no vacuum. What the Constitution wants to prevent is a situation where there is a vacuum. Somebody was acting for him and will continue to act.”

Hon, a constitutional lawyer, said Buhari means well for Nigeria by handing over to the Vice President before traveling.

He said the Acting President has full powers of a President, so there was no vacuum.

Hon said: “It is still within his constitutionally allowed time to be absent. Anybody can be sick, so let’s not over blow this thing. I would want everybody to pray for him and to wish him well.

“The Vice President is the Acting President. He has all the powers of a sitting President as it were, in the absence of the President.

“Buhari has done well by handing over to the Vice President. Some other people don’t do that. Some governors don’t hand over to their deputies when they travel.

“So, to hand over to the Vice President shows he means well for the country.”

Elder statesman and retired Federal Permanent secretary Chief Deji Fasuan, said it is a matter of regret that the president could not return yesterday as expected.

He added: “since we are all human beings, we are subjected to vicissitude of life including problem with body chemistry. We should continue to pray for him and to wish him well s that he get well quickly and rejoin us.

“This is one president, a Nigerian who loves this country dearly and who is desirous of cleaning it up. I’m sure all men of goodwill will wish him well.”

But a former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani Kayode in a tweeted last night: “Buhari has finally acknowledged that he is sick and has extended his stay abroad indefinitely. It is now clear that Nigeria is in trouble.”

sanpipita:
You don't know what you are saying if Buhari doesn't write to senate for extension of Osinbajo's acting capacity we will have a vacuum in our hands

blackfase:
Chai! See naivity. *mouth still agape....

freeze001:
I do not think there is anywhere in the world that a 'worker' or 'employee' can request an indefinite extension of leave even on medical grounds. There ought to be a clearly stated date of return. Again, it is unheard of that leave is extended on medical grounds without a detailed medical report. In fact, it is that report that serves as basis for which an extension can be requested and granted after necessary considerations.

We do not have such a situation here rather just a flimsy open-ended letter. Beyond handing over to the VP, it is dangerous for any office to be run in acting capacity particularly one as sensitive as the Office of the President for an indefinite length of time. The 'acting person' is severely limited even though, on the face of it, he is said to have all the substantive powers of that office. He is unable to make any decisive changes or reviews both of policy and appointments for fear of 'offending his boss'.

Long story short, a definite date of return needs to be fixed and communicated to the Senate. When he is unable to 'return' at d expiration of such date and upon independent medical advice, he is to be declared medically incapable of occupying and running d office and the Acting President sworn in as substantive president. Whoever occupies that or any other office needs to work with trusted hands that he can reasonably vouch for.

AntiWailer:
He has written, and the senate President's spoke person confirmed he has the letter.
