Section 144 and Yara'adua

What is now left after the much heated debate of "Where is Yar'adua " is the Section 144 of Nigerian Constitution.

Section 144 reads: "The President or Vice-President shall cease to hold office if (a) by a resolution passed by two-thirds majority of all the members of the Executive Council of the Federation it is declared that the President or Vice-President is incapable of discharging the functions of his office; and (b) the declaration is verified, after such medical examination as may be necessary by a Medical Panel established under Sub-section 4 of this Section."

There was anxiety Day before yesterday among ministers, following plans by some of them to ask the Federal Executive Council (FEC) to reconsider its stand on the President’s health.
The cabinet has said President Umaru Yar’Adua is not incapacitated. He has been in Saudi Arabia since November 23, last year for health reasons. Vice President Goodluck Jonathan is Acting President, after a long row.
But some ministers, are to push for the invocation of Section 144 to determine Yar’Adua’s health status.

In the back and forth, Solid Minerals Minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke, aligned herself with the memo written on February 3 by Information and Communications Minister, Dora Akunyili, and argued that it is necessary for the FEC to do the needful.
Allison-Madueke was, in turn, countered by Minister of State for Education, Aisha Dikku, who agreed with Aliero that there is no need to invoke Section 144 in dealing with Yar'Adua's absence since Jonathan now acts as President.

It could also be recalled that the Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, and some members of the Save Nigeria Group have challenged the Executive Council to review its position on Section 144,

It was learnt that some ministers have perfected the plot which may not come through a motion before FEC. (Holding Today).

This meeting is suppose to determine ,If Goodluck will still retain his prefix-"Acting" or have it removed.

Contrary to the claim of a unified Presidency, ministers have been meeting in line with their split either in favour of President Umaru Yar’Adua or the Acting President.
"The two camps have been mutually suspicious of each other."

Which camp are You ?.

The camp of 'Do what is right for Nigeria, but not for either Ýar Adua or Jonathan'.

KK you are funny,But that is My Camp,I desire no favour for myself,My brothers or my clan ,Which is just a minute fraction of the whole but the favour of the whole.
No Fraction Ever makes one .Except 1/1.

Somehow Admin, I never expected any thing else from you. A gut feeling. I like the 'NO FRACTION EVER MAKES ONE, EXCEPT 1/1' With your permission I will adopt it somewhere else.

Sincerely I dont understand this jingo-patrotism practiced by some ministers.i don't think that personal interest or the so called love for Zone,should over-ride our collective interest.let yaradua Issue be laid to rest,So that PRESIDENT Godluck Jonathan may face the business of the day;Repairing Nigeria.

My 3 Point agenda for Nigeria.
- Yardua should resign now,...if he fails
- the FEC should declare him incapacitated,...if they refuse
- the NASS should impeach him immediately...

There is no need ,to hold the greater majority in ransom,Over selfish desires of set of people.

Should we Love to hear lies?
Umaru is sick and incapacitated and can not recover fully to resume the office of the President. It will be one of the miracles in history if he recovers, I was told. I was also told that Turia, the cabal and the cartel, know this fact very long ago and that they were just coasting along, just in case that miracle happens.
Sansad 3 point agenda should here by be adopted.

Whatsoever make him to be reluctant in relinquishing power willfully will be known soonest!

I don’t care about what Yar’Adua’s kitchen cabinet and cabals are trying to foment in this Nation. Their plans shall turn to foolishness as the plans of Ahithophel. The issue of governance is not supposed be of any personal interest but corporate. I bet them that the insurrection they are trying to bring will take their head.

It is not about belonging to a particular camp.It is all about allowing what the privision of our constitution states to work.The constitution should be properly interpreted and what is expected there in should be allowed.The world is watching.For how long will it take us as a country to rebuild our image in the comity of nation.The principal actors should know that come what may nemesis is there waiting.

As a matter of fact President Yar Adua is disappointing people like me,i never voted for him but when he declared his assets and took some bold step i was thinking that he will eschew evil and do the right thing but what is happening now is a amazing.

The Constitution has told us what to be done before now are we doing it?
What other interpretation or explanation do we need again? When people are afraid to speak up, why won't it be like this?
The truth is now what people are debating and fighting over! For goodness sake, TRUTH does not need any defense. This whole mess will not occur in military RULE.
