A member of the House of Representatives from Ekiti State, Hon. Wumi Ogunlola has faulted the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami’s claim that the National Assembly lacks the powers to summon President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ogunlola, a member of the All Progressives Congress representing Ijero/Efon/Ekiti West Federal Constituency of Ekiti State, said Malami was being ‘clever’ by half to hold such a claim at a time Nigerians were being ravaged by insurgents, kidnappers, and bandits.
The APC chieftain said this in Ijero Ekiti on Monday while empowering hundreds of her constituents.

The Lawmaker lampooned the AGF on the comment, saying the House of Representatives respectfully invited President Buhari to speak about the security situation of the country based on the frustration and agitations by Nigerians.

She said: “Security is the foremost agitation of all Nigerians now. If you look at the ways banditry, kidnapping and insurgency are thriving, we can only hope that the government will do the needful.
“Security is very paramount to any government apart from social welfare. We are hoping that we will get it right. The House had advised the president to look at the handlers of our security apparatuses and make the right changes.
“I am also of the humble opinion that the security Chiefs have outlived their usefulness, they are supposed to be in retirement at homes now, but still being kept.
“If you keep on doing certain things the same way, you will be getting the same result. The FG must look critically at this sector and do what is right.
“The House of Representatives has the right to summon president. If the AGF said we don’t have such powers, he was only being clever by half.
