Honor Reps Invitation Or Face Impeachment- Bamgbose To Buhari
In the wake of recent comments by Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami, on the powers of the National Assembly to summon the President to appear before it, Olusegun Bamgbose, a respected legal practitioner, has noted that the Aso Rock Villa may have become empty.
Bamgbose also said the President should honour the invitation by the lawmakers or get ready to face impeachment.
As earlier reported by Eko Hot Blog, House of Reps had invited President Muhammadu Buhari over the rising insecurity in the country after the massacre of over 50 farmers in Borno State by Boko Haram.
Following the invitation, Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila confirmed that the President had agreed to appear before the house, adding that a date had been scheduled and will be made public soon.
Out of the blue, out came Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, with contentious claims that the National Assembly have no constitutional grounds to summon the President.
Bamgbose, a chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, slammed Malami’s comments as ridiculous and balderdash, adding that the Honourable Minister should be reminded that the National Assembly is a mini Nigeria.

“Nigeria is inviting Buhari to come and account for his stewardship as per the insecurity in the country and AGF Malami says it’s unconstitutional, isn’t that funny? Bamgbose, a 2023 presidential hopeful, said in a chat with DAILY POST on Thursday.
“Does that mean that Buhari is not accountable to any organ or institution in Nigeria? It’s becoming very obvious that Buhari has nothing worthwhile to offer Nigerians.
“It’s like Aso Rock is empty. Nigerians are definitely tired of Buhari. His government is fast becoming boring and uninteresting.
“One will have no option but to tell our President to honour the invitation or get prepared to be impeached. Governance has been rendered impotent under this administration.
“The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has been rendered redundant. Nigeria is now like a ship without a Captain.
“This is most unfortunate. I’ll urge the National Assembly to immediately commence impeachment process against Buhari should he fail to honor the invitation.
“Why must we at every given time beg our President to address us on critical burning national issues. Buhari has no justification to remain in Aso Rock if he won’t be prepared to address Nigerians, especially on this burning issue of insecurity.
“He does not deserve the privileges of the President if he can’t rescue the citizens from this mess. He should vacate Aso Rock if he can’t secure lives and property of the citizens. It’s as serious as that” Bamgbose said.
