There are alleged reports making rounds, that the National Assembly is making attempts to invoke section 144 (1) of the 1999 Constitution, aimed at ascertaining the health status of President Muhammadu Buhari, for his immediate impeachment.

This came to bear, as Buhari on Sunday night, left for the United Kingdom, UK, for a follow up medical examination, despite spending 50 days on an earlier medical vacation, between January and March.

As at last week, there was an attempt by the Chairman of the House Committee on Public Accounts, Kingsley Chinda, to present the issue under matters of urgent importance, on the floor of the House of Representatives.

However, it was learnt that the initiative failed to see the light of the day, because the Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara, was not favourably disposed to having such a weighty issue with grave political implications in the polity, listed on the order paper of the Lower Legislative Chamber.

It was gathered, that key Lawmakers of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, may either re-present it as a motion, or through the guise of a matter of privilege, on either the floor of the Senate, or the House of Representatives, this week.

However, Human Rights Activist and Constitutional Lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, maintained that it would be impossible to get 28 out of 42 cabinet Ministers, who are appointees of the President, to invoke such constitutional provision, even if the motion sails through.

He expressed concern, that there were attempts by what he termed the cabals, to hoodwink Nigerians, by creating the impression that all was well with the President’s health status.

The constitution is there and I still don't understand the reason for the delay.
IMPEACH THAT SKELETON for peace to reign in this country.

BMC idi0ts are about to loose their jobs in this recession their master put Nigeria in.

This might be a step too far by the Senate.
Trouble dey sleep, 'yanga' come go wake am.

what's this one saying

NONSENSE

In a saner clime he would have resigned.

If he won't resign the House should do the needful.

It's a shame that the president of the most populous country in Africa jets out of the nation to treat cancer despite huge budgetary allocation yearly to the health sector.

Nigeria's progress shouldn't be hospitalized every time the president goes for medical tourism.

We pray he gets well but he should resign and hand over the government to his very capable vice president.

So NASS thaught they can remove the president alone abi? I laugh in IPOB language

If only Nigeria functioned properly as a democratic nation whereby the constitution is above everyone, Buhari would have been impeached a long time ago.

I'm tired of this country tbh. You'll be shocked when you realize some powers somewhere wouldn't let the process go through

Abeg afonjas,make we split comot for Nigeria abeg I don tire
