Deji-Adeyanju PRESS STATEMENT: We’ll Begin Daily Sit-Out at National Assembly if Buhari Doesn’t Return to Nigeria on Day 90

[Chukwuemeka Okala]

July 19th, 2017 marks 72 days of President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence from his office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and from the country as a whole on a medical vacation to the United Kingdom.

During this period, he has not made any public appearances either in London or in Nigeria and has only allegedly clandestinely “communicated” with very few people and an infamous voice note spoken in Hausa language wishing Nigerians Happy Eid.

Furthermore, details of President Buhari’s health status have been kept away from the generality of Nigerians while his media team and other members of his cabinet/party make conflicting comments regarding his health. As at the time of this statement, no one including members of his party as admitted by Bolaji Abdullahi the spokesperson of his party knows the true medical condition of the President’s health. 

We acknowledge that during this period, President Buhari has satisfied constitutional requirements by transmitting letters to the National Assembly handing power over to his Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, on an acting capacity. The Acting President has not been able to exert political will and is being continuously subdued by the antics of the cabal around the ailing president. The same cabal that has kept the President away from the country without any explanation. 

We also recognise the failure of the Leadership of the National Assembly in  launching an investigation or setting up a panel to look into the true status of the President’s health as we believe that they have been compromised and working with the cabal against the Nigerian people. The Leadership of the National Assembly must chose between the Nigerian people and the cabal. 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.

If the president has become incapacitated, he should do the honorable thing and resign. President Buhari can not continue to hold the country to ransom. Nigeria must move forward with or without him. 

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. 

This medical panel will be a team of 5 doctors from which one of them will be the personal physician of the President while the other four will be appointed by the Senate President. 

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. 

To this end, if the Legislature fails to act, we will commence a daily Sit-Out at the National Assembly on from the 90th day of President Buhari’s absence from the Country.

When Ezeana Igirigi Achusim chooses to be reasonable, he writes objectively and comes out neat. This is one of the very negligible occasions when he writes with his thinking-cap on his head. I agree with him it total on this particular occasion.

Prof. Osinbajo is the Acting President. The cabal may be trying to subdue him with their antics, but that should not prevent him from exerting political will. At times it takes a crisis to settle matters. Acting President Osinbajo should exert serious political will  after appropriate consultations and damn the consequences. 

A job worth doing is worth being done well. Acting President Osinbajo is a tenured professor. He can take on the cabal, knowing that we are behind him. In the unlikely event that he loses to the cabal, so what? Take a look at millions and millions of Nigerians who are not into politics but are doing extremely well. As a SAN, Osinbajo will do just well. But playing the role of Acting President and capitulating to the cabal should not be an option.
