Following the level of security across the nation, the National Assembly resolved to invite President Buhari an invitation that the Commander-In-Chief accepted.
But the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami had in a statement argued that the National Assembly has no constitutional power to summon the President.
Reacting to Malami’s position on the matter, Governor Wike said rather than protect Buhari’s integrity, the Justice Minister’s statements put the President’s reputation on the line.
Wike further stated that the level of insecurity leading to deaths, particularly in Borno State and other parts of the country ought to have compelled President Buhari to keep his promise of honouring the invitation by the House of Representatives.
The governor pointed out that it was APC members who control a majority in the National Assembly that moved the motion to invite the President to address them on what measures are being taken to tackle and end the spate of violent killings, to which he consented.
