Lagos Lawyer Blasts Buhari For Appionting Himself As A Minister.


          President Muhammadu Buhari

Nnaemeka Iheonu made this assertion while speaking with Daily Independent in Lagos. Iheonu, who is a member of the International Bar Association (IBA), said the action of Mr. President is against the provisions and spirit of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

Iheonu said: “The idea of Buhari being the Minister of Petroleum is somehow unconstitutional. Section 138 of the constitution states that the President shall not hold any other Executive position while in office.

“Therefore, he is not supposed to be occupying any other executive position. He ought to appoint another person who should be accountable to him. As a Minister.
