The Nigerian president in that year was
Umar Musa Yar'Adua and he had been
sick and away from the country for a
while. The then vice president, Goodluck
Jonathan, was made the acting president
and the entire country was confused
about the exact state of Yar'Adua's
health.
Then an opposition leader, General
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), joined the
growing number of Nigerians to call for
the removal of President Umaru Musa
Yar'Adua.

Presidency
According to the This Day article dated
March 9, 2010, President Buhari
maintained that the only viable option
out of the present political logjam in the
country was for the Executive Council of
the Federation (EXCOF) to declare the
president incapacitated and have him
impeached .
Buhari, in 2010, said Nigeria should not
have been in the situation it was in the
first instance because the constitution
had made it clear on how an ailing
president could be succeeded.
Insisting on Yar'Adua's impeachment, he
said the refusal of the council to follow
constitutional provisions with regards to
the illness of the then president had
thrown Nigeria into crisis and he argued
that the 1999 Constitution was clear on
the issue of succession when an
incumbent president is incapacitated.
Buhari, who is the president now, said all
this when he received members of the
National Unity Forum in Kaduna who
paid him a solidarity visit.
Goodluck Jonathan was not spared, as
the former military ruler criticized what
he described as "extra-constitutional
measures", the measures applied by the
National Assembly to empower Goodluck
Jonathan as the acting president when
the constitution already had a solution to
the problem.

acting president
Below were his words from March 2010:
"Political expediency won't remedy this
kind of problem because if the Executive
Council of the Federation had acted in
accordance with the constitution, by
invoking the necessary sections to declare
the President incapacitated, we would not
have found ourselves in this present
situation.
"As you can see, adopting extra-
constitutional measures have not
addressed the problem. If it had, we would
not have been subjected to the raging
debates and controversy going on. So, we
must go back to the constitution.
"The Executive Council of the Federation
must do the right thing because once we
start moving away from the constitution,
then we are inviting anarchy.”
Looking back at 2010, from 2017, it is
indeed ironical that President Buhari is
now receiving treatment in another
country, and he has placed his vice
president, Yemi Osinbajo, as the acting
president?!

This post will not likely hit FP cuz Nairaland z always biased and partial.

Meanwhile, I heard that about 305 Imams and Leading Pastors were charged by Borno governor to pray for the speedy recovery of our Hale and Hearty president.
Ayam not understanding.

We all know that a federal executive council whose members are 100% appointees of the president save the VP cannot declare the president incapacitated.
