Governor Ayo Fayose is right in asking Buhari To resign – Mike Ozekhome says


Two days ago, Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose,
addressed a press conference in his office where
he said that President Buhari is currently on life
support in the UK and that he should resign from
office so as to allow acting president Yemi
Osinbajo run the affairs of the country
appropriately.
Human rights lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, has come
out to lend his support to Fayose's call for
President Buhari's resignation. Speaking in an
interview with Channels TV, Ozekhome said;
"We have seen a situation where what
Dora Akunyili famously referred to as the
cabal. The cabal has consistently flown the
kite of Mr President, lurking behind and in
front of the corridors of power which was
why they gave us a voice some few days
ago, whether genuine or stimulated, that it
was President Muhammadu Buhari
addressing Nigerians with much profanity,
in his own native language of Hausa which
is not the recognized lingual franca. The
point they tried to make is that whether
we like it or not, Mr President is hovering
around here, he is right here with us. That
has not given the acting president who
has assumed full powers of the President,
Professor Yemi Osinbajo SAN, the
capacity, the ability, the space to act
because he continues to look behind his
shoulders whether they would throw in the
name of the president. So Fayose is
therefore right and right to call for Mr
President’s resignation because it is clear
that under section 143 and 144 of the
constitution, the Federal Executive Council,
which is made up of ministers appointed
by the President himself, cannot
recommend that Mr President be
subjected to medical report by a panel set
up for that purpose. We cannot continue
to be like a rudderless country, like an
aircraft flying without a compass, it is
dangerous”he said
