Fools. Is Buhari a king? Instead of doing what is right they are trying to distract us with useless politics, debating Constitution up and down. If the constitution is defective then our 'fat money collecting lawmakers' have failed over the years.

nafada2:
It is good for Nigerians. Election time, vote with your brain and not with sentiment. Honesty, intelligence, competence, good academic attainment and experience of good governance should be some of the things to look out for during elections. Now ask yourself, the man in question is he having these?

After voting, INEC (Who is from d same geopolitical zone with d President) counts.
Do u think Buhari won Atiku

blacknp:
From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, only you knows your condition?

Obviously, you're the only one who's oblivious to your stupidity.

Buhari zombies be jumping on mentions spewing trash like idiots with rat pop for brains

And South Africa summoned there former president and he honored it. fools can say anything just to gain relevance

until nigerians learn to vote merit and not tribesman, we will keep going in circle.

The issue Is they are divided. Senate are not in support of the summon

Deepthoughts:
If the NASS are truly serious,let them simply pass a new motion "to kindly invite"his mighty righteousness president mohammadu buhari to visit n address them on the deteriorating state of security in the country shikena!.

OfoIgbo:
But the. British parliament can question the prime minister.


Buhari is not the king of Nigeria. Idiots

The OFFDAMIC Generation are so clueless they think stupidity is wisdom

chubinwa:

more reason they are miles ahead of us. In 600years to come, even Abuja can't be as developed as Cape town....cos we have a country we are running with brain dead Abokis...

Prof Itse Sagay brought to the fore the truism in this adage, "you have to be so stupid and lose your mind completely to support BUHARI."
He is an old fool and a clown. He read law and became a SAN only to become a novice in common law of common sense.
The British parliament can't summon the queen because she's not an elected constitutional authority. And that doesn't make the queen a dictator because she doesn't have absolute authority and power.
But the English parliament can summon the prime minister because he's elected.

Baba, ori yin o pe

ImadeUReadThis:
Is Buhari a monarch?

Look at this fool.

According to the Constitution, the joint assembly has the power to summon the president if he is impeached.

This goat sagay is the poster child of cramming students association of Nigeria .

Daft fool.

i guess you are more learned in law than sagay ba?

And this man is a Prof. What a disaster! At his age he is still talking such a nonsense just to defend incompetent Buhari.

Prof. Itse should know better than to bring this flawed analogy into the argument.

The Queen of England is a Monarch in a Kingdom (UK) while Buhari is a President in a Republic!
Sagay should have compared the British PM to Buhari, otherwise he's only being smart by half by attempting to confer the powers of a Monarch on the ranking of a Prime Minister!

Does this man knows what he is saying? The British has a prime minister who oversees the day to day activities of governance and answerable to the parliaments. How would they summon the Queen when she is not in charge of the economy? Or have we given our president absolute power?

bolaayenimo:
because they have no reason to summon her. can you compare the situation here to United Kingdom?

. Sagay is a disgrace to humanity. How can he compare The Queen of England to mere President of Nigeria? When they say Queen's do no wrong what does that mean? The meaning is Queeen is above the law. Do Nigeria president is above the law? And moreso Her Majesty will never do things that will warrant her to be summoned by the house of parliament. Honestly education is upside down in Nigeria. The Queen of England is the most powerful Monarch in the whole wide world, and Sagay is now comparing Buhari to Queen of England, that's an insult to the Queen and British Empire.

Truth be told, I've listened to some constitutional lawyers and most seem to agree that there's nowhere in the constitution where power is given to the NASS to summon or invite the president.
However, Ozekhome raised a valid argument of the NASS having power to summon "any public officer". That's one point that will be subject to interpretation of whether the president is a public officer or not.
That said, I believe in the interim, the president appearing seems to have been reduced to a political matter and not one of governance or public responsibility. Thus, the president having given his word to the speaker should have kept his word especially seeing how much interest it generated in the polity.
I think what's obvious from all these is that our leaders are less concerned about what we think of them especially when elections are not around the corner.
While it's true that the British parliament can't summon the Queen, we have examples of presidents being summoned in a democracy all over the world

I'm seriously scared about this generation.
Reading the comments from page 1- 9, they're all saying the same thing. Seriously? Herders mentality!

Constitionaly, Buhari is both the Queen(Head of State) and the Prime Minister(Head of Government). He's also theCommander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces GCFR. That is the power and privilege the constitution repose on him.
That is why you hear people saying that the Nigeria President is too powerful.

Buhari is even more powerful in Nigeria than Donald Trump in the United States.
Imagine that Donald Trump have limited power over States and counties, or do you think if Trump would have been a Nigeria President he could stop the election by the way and the constitution will still support him.

Summarily, Nigeria President is too powerful within and that's why people are clamouring for restructuring so that there will devolution of power at the center.

If Buhari agrees to attend it's just out of morality but not out of legality.

Well, it's only on Nairaland you'll hear a secondary school leaver teaching a surgeon how to perform surgery.

This man is an idiot of the highest order, the queen is nothing but a ceremonial head of the government which means she does'nt take part in the day to day runing of the affairs of government, the person responsible for the day to day runing of the government is the prime minister, now the question for sagar is that can the prime minister be summon by the house of lords? If yes then sagar is nothing but an idiotic element trying to please an idiotic president who happen to be his idiotic paymaster, if this word would come to an end, something tells me it would start from Nigeria, angel micheal or Gabriel should just blow the triumphant already.

ValCon888:
Money can make people act stupid. I feel sad that Prof Sagay of such repute can spout such imbecilic rubbish from his mouth.
The Queen is a ceremonial head of state and does not wield political power. That is the reason why she cannot be summoned.
Everybody in this Dullard's administration acts like an idiot.

You got it right. Sagay is a daft coconut head. Buhari would not remain in power forever and they will all be remembered for their stupid talks.

Sagay and Rudy Giuliani are in the same realm. Oshisko

. This man is mad, are we in a monarchy? Is Buhari now the king of Nigeria? We all agree the house lacks constitutional powers to summon the president but no sane human being should equate him with the queen, the scenario is not the same.

Are we operating a parliamentary system of gvt.. This sagay no go school o

OfoIgbo:
But the. British parliament can question the prime minister.


Buhari is not the king of Nigeria. Idiots

A very idiotic professor!

johnmartus:
Lawmakers have every right to summon president even if its not constitutional they are only calling him to explain what is doing about insecurity. And moreover they represent Nigerians in this way its better than when individuals would want to see the president and explain insecurity.

I noticed something about this man called sagay he must be a selfish man and it Seems sense has leaved him very long time ago. Nigeria constitution is different from UK constitution for God sake.

These is kind of people that keep misleading the president I can say it again and again. The president mean well to all Nigerians but this kind of caliber wouldn't let him do anything.

If any of your family kill like the way bandits ,kidnapping, bokoharam killing innocent people every daily basis you will not be saying this nonsense.

Stop deceiving yourself, your president does not mean well for you. He is pretentious and speaks with snake tongue. WAKE UP!

President of a country isn't on the same level with the queen of UK..

President of a country is at par with the prime minister of UK..


The house of commons can summon the prime minister of UK, so why can't the senate of Nigeria summon the president of Nigeria

dre11:

See how brainless this man is talking


Is the queen of England an elected officer or a ceremonial one.
He should make comparison with the prime minister and not the ceremonial queen

The prof knows what he is doing. He is just criminal minded.
