Ebun-Ou Adegboruwa, a Lagos-based lawyer and activist has asked the Senate to declare the office of President Muhammadu Buhari vacant.

In a statement on Tuesday, Adegboruwa urged the upper chamber to constitute a medical panel of experts to examine the health status of the President.

The lawyer said Buhari has not been performing his duties due to his ill health.

“Even though the President is human, the Constitution anticipates a fit and proper chief executive, to be in charge of and run the affairs of Nigeria, which General Buhari cannot presently fulfil,” Adegboruwa said.

He added that the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo should be sworn-in as Acting President.

“We cannot continue in this fashion whereby a cabal has taken over the affairs of Nigeria, causing great panic in the land, purely for their own selfish ends. Enough is enough!” the human right lawyer said.

He added, “Where on earth did the activists meet with the President, to know that he is sick and deserves a medical vacation? Have any of them been privy to know his health status? Just yesterday, Nigerians were being insulted by the aides of the President that he is so fit and healthy that he will contest and win the 2019 election, when I know that there are ministers and aides who have never ever spent as much as 20 minutes with the President, since they were appointed.”
