Pro-democracy Group Asks Buhari To Address Nigeria By Thursday Or Face Protest by happney65(op): 12:04am On Jul 05, 2017
A Nigerian pro-democracy group has again demanded that Senate President Bukola Saraki, in conjunction with Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, direct the setting up of a medical panel to ascertain whether President Muhammadu Buhari is incapacitated, under the provisions of Section 144 sub-section 4 of the Nigerian Constitution. It also asked the President to address the nation by live video by Thursday or face the prospects of organized protests in Nigeria and other parts of the world.

It also asked the President to address the nation by live video by Thursday or face the prospects of organized protests in Nigeria and other parts of the world.

In a statement signed by convener Deji Adeyanju and Secretary John Danfulani, the group warned: “If the President is found with any infirmity that renders him incapable of discharging his duties, the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall officially declare him incapable of discharging his duties and declare his office vacant as prescribed in subsection 2 of section 143.”

Pointing out that July 4th marks 58 days of Mr. Buhari’s absence from his office as President, and from the country on a medical vacation in the United Kingdom, the group observed that he has had almost no contact with Nigeria during the period, and made no public appearances.

“To this end, we urge President Buhari to address the nation via a live video on or before the 60th day (2 days from today) of his absence,” it urged.

It further demanded that AIT, Channels, Vanguard and Punch correspondents, along with representatives of SaharaReporters and Premium Times be present at the live event.

“In failing to do so, we will begin a series of peaceful processions and mass action across the country such as [in] Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and Kaduna and also outside the country in London and New York aimed at sensitizing the public as to the legal & constitutional crisis created by President Buhari’s continued absence from office and the insistence of the cabal to shield him away from his constituents, the Nigerian people.”

“Concerned Nigerians” is a pro-democracy group committed to accountability, rule of law, good governance and the fight against corruption.

Re: Pro-democracy Group Asks Buhari To Address Nigeria By Thursday Or Face Protest by MirJay:
undecided. It is a simple theorem. As a President who now belongs to the vegetable family, he is mandated to resign or face the wrath of the law.

Categorically speaking i think he should be impeached,

Buhari's journey in 2017..


Ear infection treatment 14 days.


Second medical treatment 49 days.


Current medical treatment as at today 59 days.


14 + 49 + 59....= 122 days

Conclusion, Buhari have SPENDED only two months in Nigeria since this year.

So the protest will change what?

I think some issues are now irrelevant for the time being.
Nigeria is at the verge of war, October1st is just around the corner and I don't think there's anything the government can do about it .

I think a secession referendum should be conducted ASAP , let the states that wants to be Biafra decide and those that want to remain should signify , so that the innocents won't fall victim .

Well this is embarrassing that we all know "they" don't even respect the Constitution.

Naturally, there shouldn't be any agitation as regards his health, there should be periodical updates, daily or weekly. But our constitution is but like our EEE433 University handout we know theoretically but never applied.
