PHOTO: What does the 1999 Constitution say about a Sitting President being away from the Country for so long?
Nigerians especially politicians have been talking and complaining about the President being away for too long, that some are beginning to count the number of days the President have been away from the Country.
But the question still remains, by being away on medical leave for almost 100days now, is the President violating the rules of the Nigerian Constitution?
The 1999 Constitution clearly answered the above question, and I would like to share for those who do not know about this.

So stop wasting your time counting number of days President Buhari has been out of the country....una go soon dey count 2000days...Section 145 of 1999 Constitution reads:
"Whenever the President transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office, until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary such functions shall be discharged by the Vice-President as Acting President."
