Standup9ja: Declare office of president vacant, Adegboruwa
urges Senate
A Lagos based lawyer and activist, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa on
Tuesday urged the Nigerian Senate to declare the office of President Muhammadu
Buhari vacant and constitute a medical panel of experts to examine the health
status of the President in order to determine if he can still continue to
function in office.
Adegboruwa in a statement to newsmen explained that since he
got to know about the president ill health, he had changed his views concerning
his government, saying “We are all human after all, and no one can play God or
rejoice over another man on account of his ill health.”
The lawyer argued that on the account of the president’s ill
health, he had not been performing his official duties.
“Even though the President is human, the Constitution
anticipates a fit and proper chief executive, to be in charge of and run the
affairs of Nigeria, which Buhari cannot presently fulfill,” Adegboruwa said.
According to him, the option before Nigeria presently is for
the Senate to declare the office of the Preside vacant, adding that in the
meantime, the Vice-President should be sworn in as Acting President.
He faulted the position of some activists who called on the
president to go on medical vacation, saying that cannot be an option for the
country.
