A bill for an Act to alter the 1999 Constitution to grant the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly powers to summon the President and Governors has scaled second reading at the House of Reps.

Rep. Sergius Ogun (PDP–Edo) who sponsored the bill in his argument on Tuesday in Abuja said the doctrine of separation of power must be upheld.

He said that the basic doctrine closely related to the exercise of legislative powers in a democracy was the doctrine of separation of powers.

Ogun said that such law would help to invite the President and Governors to answer questions on issues of national security.

Bubu will never show up , if you like summon him a million times

such law would help to invite the President and Governors to answer questions on issues of national security.

Nigeria can be very funny sometimes.

If I pass law saying I can invite you to my house will you by force accept my invitation and come to visit me?

Imagine it was Obasanjo. Will he have shown up?

Since no one is above the law, why do we need Powers to summon an elected President or Governor?
