A Senior Advocate of Nigeria and human right lawyer, Mr. Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa has explained that President Muhammadu Buhari would be flouting constitutional provisions if he ignores the invitation of the House of Representatives to explain what he is doing about the security situation in the country.
The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a resolution to invite President Muhammadu Buhari, to brief the house on the true state of security in Nigeria.
The decision to summon President Buhari was taken at Tuesday’s plenary when the house considered a motion moved by members from Borno State on the recent massacre of 43 rice farmers in the state by Boko Haram insurgents.
Adegboruwa who stressed that it will be unconstitutional for the President to ignore the invitation of the House, added that it was about time Nigerians got involved in the issue of security in the country through elected representatives.
“The President should Honour the invitation of the House of Representatives in order to explain to the nation what he is doing about the collapsed security of Nigeria. The situation has gotten out of hand such that we can no longer leave the matter with the President again”.
“Security is everybody’s business so we must all get involved through our elected representatives.
“It will be unconstitutional for the President to ignore the invitation of the House as that will send a wrong signal of lack of empathy for the killings going on across the land”.
