President Muhamamdu Buhai’s Chief of
Staff, Abba Kyari, has reportedly moved vital documents away from Aso
Rock, out of the reach of the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo whom
according to Buhari is now coordinator of national affairs.
Based
on the alleged act, coupled with Buhari’s controversial letter to the
Senate, addressing Osinbajo as the “Coordinator of the economy”, a Legal
practitioner, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has therefore, called for the
immediate impeachment of Mr President.
Adegboruwa
said: “A Coordinator, is a person of equal status with others. So, the
VP cannot make appointments, or sack anybody, while the President is
away.
“He cannot discipline any erring Minister. He is limited in policy decisions, as a Coordinator
“He has no power of control over the cabal, to whom the President has handed over power, albeit illegally.
“The Chief of Staff was reported to have moved vital documents away from Aso Villa.
“In effect, Nigeria has no leader presently. The existing office of VP, is no more.

“The
constitutionally crated office of the Acting President, has been
circumscribed by the President. The President is away on an indefinite
medical trip abroad.
“The Senate
lacks the power to pronounce Osinbajo As Acting President, without a
WRITTEN RESOLUTION of BOTH CHAMBERS of the National Assembly, through a
DECISION taken on the FLOOR of both Chambers.
“The President cannot travel for medical check-up for an indefinite period of time
“The National Assembly should reject the letter from the President. There is therefore, a serious constitutional crisis.
“Pro-government
Lawyers and Activists, who have goaded the Buhari administration into
dubious and reckless interpretations of the Constitution in the past,
should be held responsible for the current crisis, and all acts of
impunity from Aso Villa.
“In all, the National Assembly should commence impeachment proceedings against the President, for gross misconduct.”
