Why President Buhari Should Be Declared Incapable, Fayose Opens Up

Following the recent controversy rocking the state of health of President Mohammadu Buhari, the Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose has given his Position to the Federal Executive Council on why President Buhari should be made to leave office.

In a statement issued on Monday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose said:

“For a President who has spent 113 days
abroad taking care of his health out of the 191 days in 2017 , it is time for Section 144 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to be invoked.”

“President Buhari left Nigeria for London on May 7 , 2017 and today is July 10 , 2017 , 64 clears days since Nigerians saw their President or heard anything from him. Even the President’s handlers are keeping Nigerians in the dark.”

“Even though the number of days that a
President can spend outside the country is not specified in the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the makers of the laws of Nigeria envisaged this kind of situation and made provisions for how to resolve it in Section 144.”

“It has therefore become pertinent that the Federal Executive Council must invoke
Section 144 of the 1999 Constitution by
passing a resolution declaring that President Buhari is incapable of discharging the functions of his office .”

Also, just yesterday, some Twitter users called out Zahra Buhari to ask about the state of health of the president which turned out to become arguments on the social media platform.
