meolaniyi:yes it can be called digging, yes. Maybe the 'ipod's learnt from you people. Because from the best of my knowledge una be king of 'digging'. To the topic, it seems harmless but it's among technicalities and in legal matters many right things are lost at technicalities. To put it straight coordinate is not same as act or preside. But I pray nothing gets us at the loggerhead of interpreting technicalities. For those that always talk of body language, the body language of the letter is pointing to some internal things. All the same, may everything work out for the good of the common man. 1 Like |

godunia: That's right... the letter could contain any language (for instance, I'm leaving my pet cow in charge), but the Constitution confers the power of president on the Vice President (AP for the duration of the vacation) - this is a limitation of the president's power to circumvent a prescribed transfer of power |

doctokwus:More Buhari does not have the power to Make or appoint his vice as Acting. The constitution is clear on the circumstances which can produce an Acting President .That is that the president writes the NA to say he is going on Vacation etc period.. In fact he does not need to mention the name of the VP AT ALL in his letter. All that is required is letter to say I am on vacation or unavailable from such a date that is all 1 Like |

dragonking2:I don't jst know why Nigeria is full of zombies everywhere. The letter reads clearly; in compliance with section 145 (1) of the 1999 constitution......have you bothered to check out what this portion of the constitution say. ......145(1) states: Whenever the President transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office, until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary such functions shall be discharged by the Vice-President as Acting President. ........irrespective of whether he mentions VP or not, or uses the word coordinator or supervisor or acting etc. once he transmits a letter to the Speaker of the Senate and House of Rep. the VP automatically assumes the acting position. |

dragonking2: He wrote another letter on another occasion that still carries the same meaning. Semantics is very important in this case The primary function of the president is to coordinate the activities of government and execute the laws as set by the Constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria So the president transmitting a letter in which the first paragraph refers to section 145 of the Constitution which details the transfer of power already satisfied all constitutional requirements Making a statement of fact that the VP assumes full control and coordination of all "affairs of state" is correct action. An orchestra no matter the diversity of talent is presided over by the "coordinato/conductorr" so the word coordinate and preside are mutually same 3 Likes 1 Share |

I didn't see anything wrong with this letter except if you wanted it to carry words to words of the previous letter ..The constitutional section needed has been quote, the vice president would be acting on my behalf, coordinating government activities.. .. |

No way. Coordinating is not stronger. 'Acting-President' means that he is vested with the full powers to exercise the duties and responsibilities of the office of President. It also puts him as C-IN-C. 'Coordinating activities' does not vest upon him the powers and duties of the President. It merely gives Osibanjo some administrative powers. Any Minister or Federal Officer can decide to go over his head to the President, or simply disobey Osibanjo, or conduct FG affairs without regard to the VP and claim the President ordered it. This is Nigeria. They may appear same but they are not. A good lawyer can argue definitely in court that Buhari never intended to see the VP act as an 'Acting-President' it would have being clearly spelt out in the letter, and he would win the case. Those who drew up the letter know what they did. It's a clever letter. Basic123: 1 Like |

sweetgala: But in an office environment would you rather want to be "THE COORDINATOR OR THE MANAGER". It is even the Manager (MD) that determines whether or not the coordinator/conductor will coordinate the orchestra... so i guess there is a cabal saying though the president is away, they are still in charge. I think Buhari's choice of word is quite sad. He should have maintained consistency as contained in his first letter referring to osinbajo as the acting president. |
Re: Buhari's Hand Over Letter In February Vs Buhari's Hand Over Letter In May. by descoay(m): 4:00am On May 10, 2017 |
The constitution is explicit and unambiguous about this matter. Whenever the President is not available in whatever circumstances, the Vice President automatically becomes the Acting President once the President informs the National Assembly of his absence. The choice of words or the diction does not matter. |
