Yar’Adua: Senators may pass fresh resolution tomorrow – The Punch
February 8, 2010 by Bunmi Awolusi
The Senate may on Tuesday (tomorrow) pass another resolution on the need for President Umaru Yar’Adua to abide by Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution.
The move, said a competent source in the Senate on Sunday, is viewed as a last ditch effort to stem the constitutional crisis that had arisen due to Yar’Adua’s failure to hand over to Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan 77 days after he travelled to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment.
The source spoke with one of our correspondents hours after a group, Concerned Mothers of the Niger Delta, called on the wife of the President, Turai, to prevail on her husband to abide by Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution.
