The Only Way President Buhari Could Be Impeached - Senator Tsauri Reveals

President Muhammadu Buhari faces impeachment
if it is confirmed that he is incapacitated. This
was revealed by a Chieftain of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, who represented Kaduna
Central Senatorial District between 2003 and
2017, Senator Ibrahim Tsauri.
In an interview with Daily Sun, Tsauri noted that
“The constitution says that if the President is certified
incapacitated, he can be impeached whether he
decides to resign or not.”
According to him, it does not matter how long
the president stays out of the country as far as he
transmitted power to the Vice President.
However, he could still be impeached on one
ground - if it is confirmed that he cannot
perform his function as the president anymore
and is incapacitated.
He said, “The constitution is there and it clarifies it.
If the President leaves the country for anything, he
transmits power to the Vice President and Buhari did
that and met all the conditions.
“The President is out of the country on sick leave and
he did what the constitution says he should do. We
do not need to bother ourselves about how long the
President stays outside the country as long as he
transmitted power to the next in command.
“That is why you do not even call him Vice President
now, you call him Acting President.
“But the certification of that incapacitation has to be
done by his executive council. If the executive council
certifies that the President can no longer perform the
functions of a president, which means he is
incapacitated.”
