The recent decision of the National Assembly to declare Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan as the Acting President is an aberration of power.

This was the opinion of the Bauchi State House of Assembly member representing, Zungur/Galambi Local Government areas of the state, Honouorable Jibrin Adamu.

Adamu,   who stated this in an interview with newsmen in Bauchi, on Tuesday, said that the Senate’s decision was unconstitutional, adding that ”they should  apologise to Nigeria.”

The lawmaker, who is also the chairman of the House Committee on Budget and Appropriation, stated that  the rule of the land is not supposed to be a law that governs one side of the country or any group of people, it should rather be religiously followed because where personal issues, emotions take over or we play over the constitution of the country, then we are in real trouble.”

He added that, “it is not unconstitutional for the president to be sick or to travel and it is not also  unconstitutional for the vice president to be the acting president but there are procedures for it, and they are not lacuna in the constitution because  they are specifically outlined in the constitution and the procedures should be followed.”
