Section 308 of the Constitution shields the quartet of the president, the vice president, state governors and their deputies, for their period in office, from all forms of civil and criminal prosecution.
Nkem-Abonta Uzoma took off from where Mr Okechukwu stopped. He argued that the bill is not about the sitting speaker but the office itself. He said any criminal blemish ascribed to the office of the Speaker would cast the entire House in a bad light. The Speaker buttressed this by saying potential lawsuits against a presiding officer can come not only from agencies of the executive but also from individuals.Minority Leader Ndudi Elumelu begged to differ. He said the bill should not be allowed as it is coming at the wrong time because “people should be held accountable for their actions.”
As Mr Ogun rounded off, House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila asked: “Is the head of the executive covered by immunity? And directly or indirectly, is the head of the judiciary covered by immunity?”To that, he got a response in the affirmative. He then said he asked to weigh the various angles to the debate at hand. He called for equity in terms of privileges enjoyed by the each arms of government.
Immunity for the presidents Both SP and EP
SERAPNigeria Why?
They lie!!!
Typical! Not surprising!
Jokers. So that they can perpetrate all sort of crimes against citizens. Once its approved, they wil ask fo members too. Thus, govs will steal and move to nassnigeria for protection. Rather than removing the clause entirely they ar seeking for this. O Allah deliver us from them.
Instead of making laws protecting citizens from unnecessary uniformed men brutalities and killings.... 😎😎😎
