'Don't Embarrass Yourself By Turning Down The National Assembly Invitation' — Falana Tells Buhari

Human rights activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana has told President Buhari not to embarass himself by turning down an invitation to appear before the national assembly which he earlier accepted, IgbereTV reports.

Abubakar Malami, the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) had on Wednesday December 9, argued that the national assembly has no constitutional powers to summon the president.

However reacting to this, Falana stated that the national assembly has the power to summon the President. He added that with the combined effect of sections 88 and 89 of the Constitution, the National Assembly is empowered to summon any public officer including the President in the course of conducting investigation into any matter.

The statement read;

“On his own part, the honourable attorney-general of the federation has questioned the constitutional power of the national assembly to invite the President on the grounds that as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces he cannot be compelled to disclose operational details of the defence of the country.

“With respect, the president is under a moral and legal obligation to honour the invitation.

“Having accepted the invitation the president should not allow himself to be embarrassed by turning round to turn down the invitation.

“By the combined effect of sections 88 and 89 of the Constitution the National Assembly is empowered to summon any public officer including the President in the course of conducting investigation into any matter with respect to which it has power to make laws and the conduct of affairs of any person, authority, ministry or government department charged, or intended to be charged, with the duty of or responsibility for executing or administering laws enacted by the national assembly.

“It is pertinent to note that the powers conferred on the national assembly under the provisions of this section are exercisable only for the purpose of enabling it to make laws with respect to any matter within its legislative competence and to correct any defects in existing laws; and expose corruption, inefficiency or waste in the execution or administration of funds appropriated by it."

"Shall I go or shall I stay?"

If I go there would be trouble
If I stay there would be trouble

The dundee is in trouble

If he attends, they will use him to do yeye as he can't answer any question there. If he dosent, then he is declaring himself absent and that will be used against him.

Either way, the dullard is screwed

Those expecting bubu to address the NA are the real dullards.

Buhari no dey listen to advice before na.

Don't waste your saliva on Buhari.

Following

the best thing that can ever happen to Nigeria is for this man to be impeach@buhari

Mr Falana

off the mic

he only turned them down in the first place so as to avoid embarrassment

he's got nothing upstairs

Mumu wey get shame. Fada of zombies that buhari

How can a president tell a nation he cant appear before the NASS because of fear of same NASS members? Why is he the C-in-C?

Embarrassment for an Embarrassment himself. What difference does it make!@

Not attending would save the embarrassment more.

As Pdp have failed with the ENDSARS protest they might want to ask some dump questions during the invitation.

Btw both Senate and Rep have chickening out from the joint session meeting

The Joint session isn't happening.

The Senate has disassociated itself from the invitation.

The House of Representatives has sent invitation to her members for "normal" legislative business.

Conclusively, it is not happening.

Padi padi government
