We Will Occupy Nigeria if Buhari Fails to Come Back in 2 Weeks- Says Group

A group known as ‘Concerned Nigerians’
has given Nigerian President, Muhammadu
Buhari  2 weeks to return to Nigeria, or else
… Read their demands and ultimatum
below:

Today – March 4th,
2017 – marks 45 days
of President
Muhammadu Buhari’s
absence from his
office as President of
the Federal Republic
of Nigeria and from
the country as a
whole on a medical
vacation in the United
Kingdom. During this
period, he has not
made any public
appearances and has
only clandestinely
“communicated” with
very few people.
Furthermore, details of President Buhari’s
health status have been kept away from the
generality of Nigerians while his media
team and other members of his cabinet/
party make conflicting comments regarding
his health.
2. We acknowledge that during this period
President Buhari has satisfied constitutional
requirements by transmitting letters to the
National Assembly handing power over to
his Vice President, Professor Yemi
Osinbajo, on an acting capacity.
However, during this period President
Buhari has created a constitutional
dilemma by carrying out official functions.
On February 13, 2018 in a capacity as
President of Nigeria, he spoke to President
Donald Trump of the United States with
respect to bilateral relations between the
two countries.
On Thursday March 2nd, 2017 again in a
capacity as President of Nigeria President
Buhari spoke to the King of Morocco with
respect to bilateral relations between the
two countries as well as Morocco’s
application to become a member of the
Economic Community of West African
States (ECOWAS).
3. These actions, as well as President
Buhari’s continued vacation, constitute a
constitutional dilemma capable of
destabilising the country. President
Buhari’s insistence on performing the
functions of President after having
transmitted power to Ag. President
Osinbajo in effect creates de-facto and de-
jure, which does not bode well for the
country.
4. To this end, we urge President Buhari to
return to the country on or before the 60th
day after which he left the country (15 days
from today) failing which we will begin a
series of peaceful processions across the
country aimed at sensitizing the public as
to the legal & constitutional dilemma
created by President Buhari’s continued
absence from office and his insistence on
performing official functions while away.
God bless Nigeria
