Appearing on Channels
Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, the PDP’s Deputy National Chairman, Yemi
Akinwunmi, said the President ought to have notified the lawmakers, indicating
his mission abroad and transferring power to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
“I know by the standard
convention all over the world, it is conventional that when the President is
travelling out of a domain, whether privately or publicly after about six or
seven days, he has to have a course to the National Assembly to disclose his
mission and then transfer power to the Vice President.
“These guys are talking as if
Nigeria is a private enterprise, it is not. The President derives his power
from the citizens. And he is responsible not to the presidency but to
Nigerians.

in the course of the journey is derived from the federation account,” Akinwunmi
said.
Buhari is expected to spend 10
days in the UK and return on May 5.
