The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami has said that the National assembly of Nigeria has no consitutional powers to summon the President, Muhammadu Buhari.
In a rather controversial statement issued on Wednesday, Malami asserted the President couldn’t be summoned to give account of operational use of the armed forces.
In his words;
“National Assembly has no constitutional power to envisage or contemplate a situation where the president would be summoned by the national assembly on operational use of the armed forces”.
The AGF’s comments are coming amidst the President’s scheduled appearance before the House of Assembly to give account of the nation’s efforts towards combating the rising spate of Insecurity and economic challenges.
