By The9jaTrend

Benin Solidarity Movement (BSM) worldwide has condemned the recent act of insubordination exhibited by Nigeria President, President Muhammadu Buhari for his inability to honour the summons by members of the National Assembly, particularly the Federal House of Representatives.

BSM, a socio-political group that has special interest in the affairs of the Benin Kingdom and the well-being of the people of the kingdom and Nigerians at large.

The group in a statement issued and  signed by it’s President, Elder Comrade Curtis Eghosa Ugbo said,  "the summon of President Muhammadu Buhari by members of the green chambers of the National Assembly is quite in order and in accordance with the dictates of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which  he swore to uphold at all times and in all circumstances.

“It is worrisome for President Muhammadu Buhari to show open defiance to the summons of the legislators to come and tell Nigerians the steps he has been taking, thus far to address salient issues that threaten our continued existence as a nation."

The BSM President added ”the President came into office through the ballot, the same way as the lawmakers were given the mandate to represent and defend the interest of the people.

"Also quite absurd is the equally defiant posture of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Abubakar Malami, a man who by virtue of his position should be the person that could always be relied on to give the right interpretation of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but who in the present circumstance has chosen to egg on his boss in this game of defiance of the Constitution.

According to him,   ” President Buhari and Abubakar Malami - have shown that they careless about adherence to the terms of the Constitution of country it behove on the lawmakers to commence the process of shoving them out of office in line with the Constitution.

“Buhari’s action is a slap on Nigerians, a constitutional breach that is equivalent to a coup det at against the people,” he concluded.
