He, however, said that since Nigeria was operating a democracy hinged on party supremacy, the president can decide to follow the advice of his part on any issue.
“The President is not more powerful than the party, but if he took a decision and his party took another, he must obliged the party,” he said.
Kalu said that the house did not act in error by inviting the president, adding that the house had the right to investigate issues bothering the country.
