Presidency in shock as National Assembly is set to invoke Constitution against Buhari.

– Some federal lawmakers are reportedly working to use the constitution to get President Buhari to reveal his health status

– The lawmakers, mainly of the opposition PDP, say the secrecy surrounding Buhari’s health is “unsatisfactory and falls short of global practices.”

– The PDP lawmakers are expected to move this week either on floor of the Senate of the House of Representatives

Emerging reports say that some federal lawmakers in the National Assembly have begun moves to invoke the constitution to force President Muhammadu Buhari to reveal his health status.

The lawmakers may try to call for the invocation of section 144 (1) of the 1999 Constitution in the bid to get President Buhari’s health status revealed.

The move is actively supported by members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to the report, efforts to invoke the said section reached its peak last week when an attempt was made by chairman of the House Committee on Public Accounts Kingsley Chinda to present the move under matters of urgent importance on the floor of the House of Representatives.

The move was however blocked by Speaker Yakubu Dogara on the grounds that issue was weighty and had grave political implications.
