[news] We Will Begin Daily Sit Out At NASS If Buhari Doesnt Return To Work On Day 90
Doesn"t Return To Work On Day 90,
Group Declares In a statement
released on Wednesday by its
convener, Deji Adeyanju, and
Secretary, Dr. John Danfulani, the group noted that Buhari has now
been absent from office and from
Nigeria for 72 days, and if the
situation remains unchanged, it
would commence the sit-outs on
the 90th day of his absence. Concerned Nigerians, a pro-
democracy group committed to
accountability, rule of law, good
governance and the fight against
corruption, has announced plans to
commence a daily sit-out at the National Assembly in 18 days if the
legislature fails to respond to the
health conundrum of President
Muhammadu Buhari as prescribed
by the constitution. In a statement
released on Wednesday by its convener, Deji Adeyanju, and
Secretary, Dr. John Danfulani, the
group noted that Buhari has now
been absent from office and from
Nigeria for 72 days, and if the
situation remains unchanged, it would commence the sit-outs on
the 90th day of his absence. It
regretted the failure of the
leadership of the National
Assembly to launch an
investigation or set up a panel to look into the true status of the
President"s health, adding the
group believes the legislators have
been compromised and are
working with an infamous cabal in
the executive branch against the Nigerian people. “The Leadership of
the National Assembly must choose
between the Nigerian people and
the cabal,” Concerned Nigerians
declared. “72 days is too long for a
Commander-in-Chief to be away from his country without any
explanation to the people that
voted him.” The group affirmed
that if Mr. Buhari has become
incapacitated, he should do the
honorable thing and resign, because he cannot continue to hold
the country to ransom. “We hereby
demand that the National
Assembly invoke Section 144 sub
Section 4 of the Nigerian
Constitution and direct the setting up of a medical panel in
conjunction with the Acting
President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo
to ascertain whether the President
is incapacitated,” the statement
continued. “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,”
Concerned Nigerians declared.
